2013-01-27 Mini Meeting

An excellent mini meeting held in Livingston with some which saw Partha return for his first mini-meeting for a while, and a warm welcome to Olivia, our first new face in quite a while.

Lots of folding was achieved although only a couple of models – Martin led us through folding a simple Owl by Roman Diaz as a warm up, and then Dennis took us through what was probably our longest folding session to date where we all managed to fold Hideo Komatsu’s horse, albeit after much rustling, repeat explanations and cries of “you want us to do what?”  A difficult model to teach, but extremely satisfying to achieve.  Hopefully we haven’t scared away our new recruit!

An excellent mini meeting where Martin taught a Jewelery box by Max Hulme, and Dennis taught us Millefiori by Miyuki Kawamura, Oddball by Dave Brill, and his own Simple Dog head.

Start of a busy Year!

It’s going to be a busy year for conventions! Just back from the Dutch Convention in Mennorode. As usual it was a LOT of fun. Thanks have to go to Paula and Gerard for putting me up for a night and driving me to the Convention.

When I dig it out, I’ll put a photo of my display here:-

Meanwhile, here are some photos from the exhibition table and more generally of the convention.
