Origami Exchange Program
Posted: October 25th, 2017, 11:12 pm
I would like to propose an origami exchange program for designers. It is slightly similar to the white elephant gift exchange (if you know what it is), except there are only two participants.
How to participate:
1. Pick a fellow origamist (the exchange is only between 2 people, so both have to agree to it)
2. Choose specific models (or propose one) that require about the same amount of time to fold/design
3. Fold the models
4. Send through mail (only cost is shipping)
Why participate?
The point of this exchange is not to make money, but to bring more value to the origami market scene. Due to a lack of a market for origami art pieces, this exchange will hopefully stimulate demand for complex origami pieces and possibly help initiate a market in the future. It'll also give us, origami artists more meaning to what we do and a better appreciation of the work of our fellow origamists.
Let me know what you guys think. Any suggestions?
