 Inner Gift Boxesby Sue Mosher Arlington, Virginia As part of a retreat on leadership, I made a box for each person and filled it with glass "jewels" to help embody their personal gifts, the prized qualities that they might want in turn to give back to their group. My hope is that, when they glance at these boxes in their homes and offices, they'll be reminded of how special they are and how each inner gift comes with the authority and obligation to use it well.

GoldfishThe big fish was made from a large sheet of textured paper from a speciality artist-supply store, where I also purchased the paints. For comparison, the small fish is made from a standard 6-inch piece of paper. Folding this fish is fun and easy. Make one!  One-of-a-Kind
Wedding CardTwo cranes kiss over a basic heart. The cranes are made of an exquisitely beautiful gold-flecked paper. The background is a sparkly piece of scrapbook cardstock glued onto a blank card.
We loved your workshop! The next day, my mom and
I made 24 hearts for my teacher and class. I also showed my classmates
how to make them at my school's Valentine's Day party.  Valentine
Hearts and Cardsby participants in the Curative Memory Program. This was our second workshop with the group (see next entry for info). The 12 participants each made a large heart and at least one card. The large heart was made from a 12x6 inch piece of scrapbook paper and mounted on a simple stand made from a scrap of cardstock. The ones on the cards are from an 8x4 inch piece of scrapbook paper. Click for heart folding instructions.  Candy
Dish Boxesby participants in the Curative Memory Program, Waukesha, Wisconsin. The program provides support for individuals newly diagnosed with cognitive issues. Our senior origamist, Barbara Boxster, volunteers one day week at the program. Realizing it's excellent brain exercise, Barb taught the group to make these boxes. Click for folding instructions.
