Awards Received

Teresa submitted three different types of origami creations for judging at the 2024 Charlotte County Fair* (Florida). All three received Blue Ribbons.

Shown at far left is a kusudama designed by Katerina Lukasheva. This modular ornament was assembled from 30 units, with each unit being folded from a small rectangular sheet of paper.

Also shown here are a non-modular bowl designed by Kazukuni Endo and a set of four napkin rings with heart motifs, based on a non-modular design by Francis Ow.
 
The bowl was formed from a single large square sheet of double-sided scrapbook paper featuring Hanukkah motifs. Each napkin ring was created from a single rectangular sheet of double-sided origami paper.

All of these items were hand-folded by Teresa without the use of glue or any other adhesive. The items retain their shapes because of interlocking folds and/or the use of tabs inserted into pockets.
