A Joint Tribute to Neal Elias
Posted: February 11th, 2007, 5:15 pm
Hi all,
(Please disregard this post if u have already seen a similar one which we have posted to the O-List awhile ago).
A few months ago, four of us - Nan, Huy, Gabriel & Boon - agreed to set up a joint tribute site to pay tribute to Neal Elias. Due to work, school or personal commitments, each of us has been folding and progressing at different rates but the basic condition is that each of us has to fold at least 10 different Elias designs and set up his own personal tribute page for Elias. We would then set up a joint tribute site with, among other things, links to the 4 personal tribute pages and make the joint tribute site public on February 12, 2007.
Well, our site is now ready for public viewing, we think. But first, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Dave Venables, Dr Robert Lang and Michelle Buehler - Neal's granddaughter - for taking the time and effort to write forewords for our joint tribute site despite their busy schedules. Their write-ups about Neal Elias from different perspectives have given us a much clearer understanding of the great master. Dave, who besides providing us with useful background info has also graciously granted us the use fo his photos of Elias and also his photos of original folds by Elias.
We hope u will enjoy visiting our joint tribute site as much as we have enjoyed folding the models and getting the site ready for public viewing. Although the number of Elias designs that we are able to present in our site is still very small, we hope that this visit will in one way or another increase your interest in his amazing body of works.
Thank you and here is the URL for more details :
