Previously we saw Ripon Cathedral use the origami angel for a community event (An Angel becomes 10,000)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the morning of 24th of December – the very day we celebrate Xmas in Denmark – Alison Wright from Dunblane Cathedral<\/a> in Scotland wrote to me that they use the angel in their community<\/a> to have a project together and to decorate the interior of the cathedral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole congregation helped, there was even a contribution from America. There are not quite as many angels as in Ripon, but perhaps upwards of a thousand. Anyone who has folded a thousand origami cranes knows what an achievement that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the congregation, George Findlay, a gentleman in his eighties, wrote a poem which captures one’s first attempts at folding spot on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hark! The paper angel comes
I’m not supple, I’m all thumbs.
But one must struggle and persevere
It keeps me busy, have no fear.
Yet if you want to start a rammy
And drive the Dunblane auld yins barmy
Just mention angels and origami!<\/p>George Findlay, poem, 2020<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A new angel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or at least a new variation. When preparing this blog entry I reviewed the previous angel diagrams and found that I could make a cleaner design while yet simplifying the folding sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
