I just sent her the info (fyi, I have the same ISBN on this one as David) and am posting the info below in case others are interested. The book is a fairly good one, although it contains too many flower patterns for my taste -- I like flower patterns, just not so many in one book. This is the book that contains the "Teddy Bear with Toy Blocks" which is featured on my website. I think I first saw this book that one time I met Ms. Ebihara at her Gallery 91 store and she let me peruse her personal collection of OA books -- some of which Chatani personally sent her (they're friends). I wasn't too crazy about the rest of the book then, so I debated a while, but finally HAD to have that pattern. After I got the book, I grew to like other patterns in the book. Here's the book info: The English title of the book in the photo is Origamic Architecture Cards for All Seasons, © 1991, Keiko Nakazawa author, Shokokusha publisher, ISBN 4-395-27042-5. The book contains 47 patterns, mostly flowers or animals. My copy is the Japanese version and it was a special order from Japan through a Japanese bookstore in NYC; if I remember correctly, I paid around $25 for it. I believe you can also order it online through Sasuga Japanese Bookstore based in Boston, http://sasugabooks.com. FYI, the photo is of the Korean version, and the title in Korean translates closer to "Four Seasons of Card Making." I believe the Japanese title also translates more closely to the same. However, the English title of the book in question is "OA Cards for All Seasons" which distinguishes it from an earlier, different book with the English title of "Four Seasons of Origamic Architecture" © 1984 (which is my opinion contains fewer interesting patterns). I have never seen an English-text version of the "All Seasons" book available anywhere, and would love to obtain one. If you happen to come across one, I would appreciate your letting me know. K.

The first word that comes to my mind is magic... That's what OA means to me. What once was seen as just a 2 dimensional surface is converted to 3D shapes, in a so delicate work that nobody can look at it without being marveled. 2. Have no preferred paper yet, as I'm a beginner...been using what's available on stores in my place so far, but as I'm in Brazil, I'm not sure about the brand and such, it's 90g paper here, and I'm working mainly in cards on demand, like for birthdays and so on. So I usually print some greeting on the paper before doing the card. What I have doubts about is what to put on the cover. I've been embossing shapes manually, but would accept any ideas, ok? I like this idea, keep doing it.

Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 16:35:52 +0100 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-oa@deepwizardry.com Reply-To: oa@deepwizardry.com For me one of the special qualities (and one of the main attractions) about OA is that a card always looks nicer in real than I can picture it in my head or are shown in a picture in a pattern book. Even when I make a design myself and have a clear picture in my head, the card I make from this design always surprise me and looks better than I had imagine. This is rare I think. I use a lot of different kind of papers and colors for OA cards but the ones Gerry Stormer got to my attention, like the watercolor paper, are to my opinion the best. Recently Gerry bought another kind of paper of which I think it is absolutely the best for OA but I don't know the brand and such. I think papers between 200 and 300 grams are the best weight to use for OA. There is no special color that is best for a card, it just depends on the pattern but although I'm using a lot of colors I think I'm most attracted to white (the way it was meant to be by Masahiro Chatani), I love the serenity and the quietness of it, all the attention goes to the OA object in the card. When the paper that is used for the cards is nice and/or textured itself, I think it is no problem that there is nothing on the cover of the cards but of course embossing always adds something real special to the cards, that is for sure. In the past I've put some cut outs from the OA objects as a decoration to the covers and this could be nice as well. Greetings, Ingrid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Gerry Stormer" To: "OA Maillist" Subject: [OA] RE: OA QUESTION OF THE............ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 22:04:04 -0600 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal Sender: owner-oa@deepwizardry.com Reply-To: oa@deepwizardry.com What do you think it is about OA, what is it's special quality or character, that attracts you the most to this paper craft? There are numerous things that attract me to OA. Being able to create something so beautiful from a single sheet of paper is definitely rewarding. I get a real rush the first time I open a card for the first time after I've completely folded it closed. Sometimes, the card in my hand looks very different from the picture in the pattern book so it's always fun to see exactly what the card looks like once it opened back up. I also like the way doing OA relaxes me and puts me in another space. While I'm doing OA it's almost like meditation...I'm in a world all to myself and completely focused on the task at hand. I also enjoy creating these cards because, to me, they are much more that simply pop-up greeting cards. In my mind, they are paper sculptures. These cards are not something people will take home and throw in a drawer never to been seen again. No, these cards are something to put on display just as you would any other piece of art. I also love the look on my friends faces when I give them one of my cards for their birthday or some other occasion. What is your preferred paper or paper type for OA? The paper I use for the majority of my cards is Canson cold press, acid free, 80 lb, white watercolor paper. This paper is excellent for OA. I use the half-cut method for all my fold lines and this paper works wonderfully well with this method. I also use 100 lb Bristol paper every now and then but it's pretty heavy paper so I wouldn't recommend it for all types of OA cards. Lately, I've started using colored paper for some of my work but my favorite paper will always be the watercolor paper. If you'd like to see the cover of the booklet the watercolor paper comes in you can visit this page on my OA site: http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/HobbyCt/gstormer/about.htm I have no idea if Canson markets this paper internationally but I'm sure some brand of watercolor is available world-wide.

I've been embossing shapes manually, but would accept any ideas, ok? Sheila, Embossing is great to use in conjunction with OA. You might also think about using rubber stamps to adorn the backing sheet. Rubber stamps should be available in Brazil but, if they're not, you can purchase them online. If you'd like more ideas, I would suggest that you pay a visit to Selena Kim's web site so you can see some of her wonderful techniques.
