ORIGAMI ARCHIVES 16

PICTORIAL RECORD OF PAST ORIGAMI ACTIVIES IN SINGAPORE

This is one of the Hobbycraft Exhibition organised by the People's Association (PA) of Singapore. The PA is charge of Community Centres all over Singapore which run all kinds or activities including handicrafts which would be taught at community centres.

This is the worst Hobbycraft Exhibition ever. It was held in an open field under tents. The temperature rises and it became very, very hot. Visitors diminished as the temperature rises (There is probably some scientific principle at work here!).

The fans and winds gave us problems as our origami models were light and easily blown away. The heat caused some our our origami models to curl up.

We stayed till the end although there were smarter ones who packed up and left when the heat becomes too bad.
 
 

Our origami display.

A clearer view. Note that most of them are lying down. We gave up putting them up as the wind keeps blowing them down and off the table.

Some models liked the ones I packed inside plastic bag and on a hard board were able to take the conditions. I had expected the conditions to be bad when we were told that the Hobbycraft Exhibition will be held in the open in a field near the sea.

A view of our stall and all other stalls. Chan Yew Meng looks like he is on a vacation in Hawaii.
