Commercial Origami
Posted: October 9th, 2003, 9:53 pm
Has anyone had any expience of doing any commercial Origami? I once worked for Rick Beech folding around 200 kimonos, with a rate of £1 for every 4 kimonos folded.
Having just got into making my own greeting cards, I wondered weather anyone has attempted to sell any origami greeting cards / models. I have found that simpler models look better on cards. What would you think would be an acceptable price to ask for an origami greeting card? The card itself would be A6 in size, with either a peace dove, butterfly, frog or cat stuck on the center of the page. The inside of the card would be blank, but I'm tempted to print a small message on the front cover (eg Merry Christmas).
I have seen (like on http://www.creased.com ) the greeting card being stamped on the front - I quite like this idea. I was thinking of manually stamping or initialing my cards.
Please let me know what you think, and please give me some ideas!
