I walked past an art shop two days ago in Winchester. It is holding some sort of ‘card competition’ to celebrate summer.
The shop does not say whether there will be prizes, but prizes do not really matter. I think all participants’ cards will be displayed in the shop window. This opportunity gave me an inspiration to make a few origami and turn them into cards (I have never entered any card competition before.)
To enter, I paid 50p for each blank card, and the money goes towards a local charity.
Here are the 4 cards I’ve created. The deadline is tomorrow, and I’ll hand them to the shop.
I’ll let you know the outcome at some point!
I’ve had fun creating these origami cards. I’m also amazed by the endless possibilities you could have for sharing joy with origami.
The first card is a single crane wearing the Union Jack design. I attached the famous saying “I will write peace on your wings, and you will fly all over the world” by the little Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki, underneath the crane. This saying has sweetly summarised what origami is for, love, peace, freedom.
