A special tree for a special time...
12/12/02 "Hindsight"..... Origami Designs does a special little tree for an episode of NBC's TV drama Emergency.
This was to be a Christmas Gift to the set.... and like any little tree, resembling one worthy of "Charlie Brown"... Origami Designs was thrilled they wanted to use it. It was indeed a calamity of errors, rush on-location- filming, etc. that came with this little tree and it's creation. Photos of this tree are available here!
10/17/02 "Walk Like A Man" Origami Designs folds for this episode of the prime time drama Emergency on NBC.An unusual request came for Origami for this episode with Jerry exploring his talent with folding! Folded from medical paper used on the set of this long running drama.... it was a thrill for Origami Designs a long time fan of ER!

Origami goes to the classroom. Sharing the joy of the art is the most rewarding thing I do. Origami Designs goes to the Frostig Center in Pasadena, to give an introductory class to about 20 middle & high school art class students. The students were great! Origami bases, models, books, & folding instructions were covered in this visit. It was a wonderful interactive hour for students & faculty alike. The enthusiasm of the students is rewarding & appreciated. It all starts with that single square of paper.

From the PEO: "Hi Barbara: Your presentation/presence at our PEO (Philanthropic Educational Organization) meeting yesterday was a huge hit for the 30 ladies who were present. Besides being extremely informative, you were entertaining to the hilt! I heard comments like "I didn't know anything about that, "Well, that was a really fun program", and "It was neat meeting Barbara, she's a kick!"
Thank you so much for enlightening us on your art. We'll look forward to a fun field trip to your studio May ... ,,,, Again, thanks for being here. All of us enjoyed your "gig" tremendously and had a great time! "
