2024 Charlotte County Fair
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.

Star Arisa Variations and Petals Kusudama
|
|
One Blue Ribbon was earned by a set of variations of Nobuko Okabe's Star Arisa -- shown at left. Each of the four stars was assembled from eight units. The set as a whole illustrates how making minor changes in the folding of the basic unit can significantly alter the final appearance of a modular origami model.
A second Blue Ribbon was awarded for a kusudama named Petals, designed by Tomoko Fuse -- shown at left and below. This is a "face-and-base" kusudama made by folding and assembling 30 units from 60 small rectangular sheets of paper. Each unit is formed by folding a "face" from one sheet, folding a "base" from another sheet, and then inserting the face into the base. Each finished unit has a tab-like part and a pocket-like part. The units are assembled with icosahedral symmetry by inserting tabs into pockets.
A third Blue Ribbon was earned by a holiday tree called Bialbero di Natale, designed by Francesco Guarnieri -- shown below. The tree has six units in graduated sizes. It is assembled by stacking/nesting the units, which are then held together by gravity.
All of these modular origami items were hand-folded and assembled by Teresa without the use of glue or any other adhesive.

Shown at far left is a set of eight Valentine's Day Gift Boxes, some modular and some non-modular, in a variety of shapes and sizes. Teresa made these boxes based on designs by Mark Bolitho, Tomoko Fuse, and Ayako Kawate.
Also shown here are a modular Valentine's Day wreath (Ghirlanda di Cuori) and a modular 3-D star (Bascetta Stern). The wreath was designed by Francesco Guarnieri, the star was designed by Paolo Bascetta, and both were hand-folded by Teresa. No glue or other adhesive was used in the creation of these items. They retain their shapes because of interlocking folds and/or the use of tabs inserted into pockets.
