It was a pleasure working with you again at the Ingenuity Festival. Thanks for all your hard work and for helping to make Ingenuity the success it was! My daughter and I are going to get a-hold of some origami paper - we were inspired!

Michael Roy made it look so easy. His display was very enchanting; a family of penguins here, a beautifully sculpted horse there. It was topped off with a delicate, peaceful dove. On his beret? A whimsical, orange, goldfish. In reality, origami is a science of valley folds, mountain folds and inverse folds. Michael attempted to teach this delicate art to 18 Library patrons. Luckily, I was one of them. I was just going to watch, but couldn’t resist trying what Michael was teaching. He passed beautifully colored sheets of paper around the table. I was hooked. I didn’t even know what we were going to make. It didn’t matter. First, using the basic folds, we made a simple bird. My confidence began to grow. Next, Michael announced we were all going to make penguins. He held up an example. Everyone was excited. Secretly I wondered if we could do it. Penguins looked hard. But, we all started at the same spot and one fold after another our penguins began to look pretty good. It’s been longer than two weeks and my penguin is still sitting here on my desk. As we left that night we all had something in common besides a small black and white penguin. We had a feeling of accomplishment.

We enjoyed having you at the Zoo. Your talent is very unique and it is not something you see often. Kids seemed to love it, which makes it a great fit for our audience. We would love to have you back at the Zoo sometime in the future. We have a lot of events happening this year and I am confident we will be able to find a time for you to come back.
