Adventures of
Casey and Elaina
in Oriland
Elaina Quackenbush (mother and paper folder), which has become one of the Best Scouts of Oriland :
"I have not seen anything that is as good an introduction to origami as Oriland, nor such in depth models that all can enjoy and fold. Anything that keeps children's attention and teaches them something as well as keep adults entertained is a wonderful addition to out world."
How
you have begun your travel to Oriland?
I was looking for
sites that were good for children (for my son 5 mo. and a sister 4 years).
This came highly recommended by an elderly man, so we came.
How
did you find the first lost diagram?
I talked to everyone
talking and explaining to Casey until we found one.
What
unexpectedness and surprises you have met on your adventure in Oriland?
The
sheer beauty of it all...it was fascinating that the whole of this was
created by paper.
What
place to you was pleasant to you more?
Goblington.
My favorite folds are flora and fauna.
How
long have you been involved in origami?
Steadily
for the last 6 years.
What
origami-models you folded in Oriland?
The
clown, the jasmine blossom, the book fold and cover and the lotus blossom.
With
what from castles of Oriland was remembered to you more?
The
castle of San-Elf.
What,
from your point of view, it would be possible to rank as miracles of Oriland?
It
would be hard to say.. the whole thing kept Casey's interest for an hour
and a half, my sister, on a later occasion, loved the goblins and the
hot air balloon, and for me I liked the flowers and strawberries.
What
do you want to wish the guests and inhabitants of Oriland?
Blessings in anything the choose to undertake.
