I wish everyone a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2013. Last year was a busy one for me. In the spring I visited India and Sri Lanka and taught origami. In September, my newest origami book was published. It contains many cute animal models. This year has begun on an exciting note. The latest NOA Magazine, issue 450, features four of my models: Flying Seed, Bird Wrapper, Oni Wrapper, and Langue de Chat. In April, I will travel to the Netherlands where I will be the honored guest at the 25th annual convention of the Origami Society of the Netherlands (OSN). The theme this year is "Red, White, and Blue, Happy to Fold for You!" I look forward to sharing my origami designs and making new friends there. I can't wait to see the canals, windmills, and colorful tulips, too!
