Hi Sara, thanks so much for
Hi Sara,
thanks so much for all the videos you've shared thus far! As an origami enthusiast, I've enjoyed many of your videos. They have inspired me to keep my origami hobby and to keep on folding even though sometimes life gets a little busy. It's always interesting to see new origami models and ideas, and the curlicue/kinetic origami in your latest video is especially interesting because it's not often that we find origami with movement - almost everything I've made is very stable and static.
I would like to participate in your giveaway for Assia's book, and if by any chance I'm lucky enough to win it I'd love to try my hand at the kinetic origami models!
Thank you, and happy folding! :)

Hello Sara, This is my first
Hello Sara,
This is my first time writing you, but you have been important to me for years already. I teach origami to children, but I tell everyone that you are my teacher. Your videos stimulate and advance my practice and refresh my instruction of others.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway- the book looks fascinating.
Love your generous nature with these giveaways.
About your celebration of reaching the 50,000 mark- first of all, congratulations!
I have two ideas-
First, I love opportunities where origami is sold as art, especially for a charitable purpose. You could choose a charity that matters to you and sell a few pieces and perhaps have others contribute pieces. I think this practice also elevates origami as art and spreads the appreciation.
Second, I love to see exceptional origami but it is not well communicated where such exhibits are held. And often there are a few origami pieces in a larger exhibit, as I recently saw at the Metropolitan Museum of art in NYC, and in the temporary exhibit 30 under 30 at the Renwick Gallery in Washington DC. Perhaps your site could include a bulletin board where people post origami exhibits or places to see the work of master folders all over the world. I might even plan some trips around the chance to see an exhibit, if I knew in time!
Of course both ideas require a lot of work, but I am constantly amazed by your energy!
Best wishes to you and your family!

Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi Fran,
Thanks for your suggestions!
Are you aware of Origami Caravan? They did something very similar to what you described - collect art pieces - origami folds - and then auction them off for a good cause. Check http://origamicarava... for more info.
As to an overview of exhibitions and such, I fear I don't have enough insight myself. I do think a couple of websites (especially societies) try to keep a list of such events, but it always depends on someone submitting the details. I don't have enough confidence that I'd have more complete information than them. :(

Hi Sara,
I want to enter in the giveaway.... I just wanted to say how great it has been to have someone like you with consistently clear and simple instructions on your channel. I have done origami ever since I could pick up a piece of paper, and I would love the next dimension on kinetic origami. I know origami can be overlooked often and I just want to continue to share my passion of origami with the rest of the world. This would mean the world to me. Thanks!

kinetic origami giveaway
i just start folding only few months after fumble on your youtube " happy folding" . it was very intriguing and "crystal clear" instruction video. your voice was very calm and relax. i am hooked to fold now. it relaxes me and calm me down. your video of curlicue strip origami is very interesting. i have never seen it before. it evolves shape, size and design when you twiste clockwise and counterclockwise. clockwise, it becomes a cone and couterclockwise it evolves into a beautiful sort of flower and flatten out. woah! i like it. i would love to get my hand on the book so i could learn how to fold it or better to follow your video. i have recomended your youtube to all my friends and relatives and tell them to subscribe so you will reach your fifty thousand in no time. keep up the great job. Baci to Felix he is a cutie. greeting from switzerland.

If you are thinking of ways to celebrate your 50K subscribers (congratulations) what about an auction of some of your origami or pieces from others and the money will go to a charity. Your videos are always wonderful and I'm so glad that you have found the time despite working on your PhD. I hope Felix and your whole family is well. Thank you for all your hard work!

Deine Videos sind immer sehr gut erklärt und haben mich sehr schnell von "extraordinary simple" zu "low intermediate" gebracht.
Dir alles Gute!
