DEDICATION
This book is lovingly dedicated to the memory of our dear friend Florence Temko, one of the true pioneers of paperfolding in the West. Her prolific career designing origami projects, books, and kits for Tuttle Publishing for so many years was an inspiration to us, and we cherish memories of meeting and folding with her at origami conventions. We fondly recall a laughter-filled lunch with her at the Red Lion Inn in West Stockbridge, when she visited Massachusetts one beautiful day.
Florence would certainly applaud the concept of creatively reusing found materials for origami. Her generation lived by the saying, “It’s what you do with what you’ve got!” Turning trash into fun is magic, and origami has always been about making the whole much more than just the sum of its parts. Florence, we all miss you. Our hope is that your elegant designs continue to live on, inspiring and enlightening new generations of folders!
