Guidelines for Sending Origami
We will hang all the origami above a junction of 4 ancient, narrow, covered streets in the Old City of Jerusalem. The junction is where the Moslem, Jewish and Christian quarters of the Old City meet. In all the world, this must be one of the most appropriate places for an Origami Peace Tree!The public will walk under the origami, suspended at 10-15m on each of the 4 streets that meet at the junction. It will be an amazing and beautiful sight!
This is what we need:
- We WILL accept:
- stars, kusudamas, modulars, decorations
- birds, butterflies
- hearts
- Note: all models must be less than 20cm along the longest dimension
- We will NOT accept:
- models with any religious words or motifs (Star of David, cross, crescent, angel,etc)
- models not specified in 2. above
- mobiles, diaramas
- We need all the models to be strong, so we are happy for glue, wire, etc, to be used to give them extra strength.
- If you are sending a bird or butterfly, please be sure that the model balances correctly and the wings will not droop. It will be seen from below.
- 1-meter of white cotton thread must be VERY SECURELY attached to each model. When sending, please wrap the cotton around a small piece of stiff cardboard.
- Place each model into a transparent nylon bag. Include your name, the name of the creater of the model, and your country and town.
