last week we had an unexpected encounter and motivating. Passing through Chile was a member of the English Association of Origami, Olga de Pedro, fantastic, enthusiastic and cheerful. We sent an email to the lot and some who could escape went to see her at the hotel the day before he left home. In his eyes and in his speech you could see coming from a wonderful trip, by the glaciers and ice Aysen, the Patagonian steppes of the end of the world and the Atacama desert unique. And we sat down to talk about origami ... to tell experiences, introduce ourselves and tell the group, some things we've done, possible travel, talk of roles and realities.
Suddenly, as I said Olga, put faces to names, to what you post in forums, photos of figures that are seen here and there, I felt more than ever the need for English-language magazine, to circulate and be distributed throughout Spain and Latin, so we had a closer community, we met and we recognized in photos and news from Colombia, Nicaragua, Peru, Zaragoza, Burgos and Madrid, say for example "there is Johnny, look, you shakes hands with the president ", or" Duck looks Theseus Kunz made a head of Medusa hanging impressive. "
On the anniversary of our group a few weeks ago, we held a video conference with children in Colombia and it was exciting, it was like sitting in the same living and be part of your reality, as if we were one group of friends ...
essential travel but among them, the void of missing friends, know what they're up, what they are folding, new figures have created what must be filled somehow, which warn of conventions and projects, which discuss the theory, and present new and young talents, in short, what is a magazine. Internet is fine, but nothing compares to a paper magazine, carried in a backpack, watch with love and turn pages in that year that we like to take a sheet and move with caution, giving way to the secrets and behind-every page.
The idea we have discussed many times, important artists have shown their enthusiasm for participating. In this thought as I listened to Olga and drank my beer, I soon found a small square of paper tucked in the pages of the book that Olga had with him, I took it and almost without thinking I began to fold.
