All good things...

Thanks everyone who participated in the Giant Origami Challenge panels these past two years. It's been a lot of fun and I loved seeing the problem-solving skills and creativity the teams used to make their own giant origami.

Due to taking a long leave of absence during the summer and fall 2011, I will not be running anymore GOC panels. But it does not have to be the end! You are totally welcome to steal the Giant Origami Challenge idea for your own panel! If anyone is interested in taking over the panel for your anime convention, email me for details/questions about the panel. I'll even post your panel's pictures here in this blog. Email me at Jillyfoo (at) gmail (dot) com.

This could be the last post in the GOC blog or it could be the beginning to many more.

In closing thanks again and keep folding!
-Jilly Foo
