Sofia Origami Travellers Part 3
The paper for Number 3 comes from a little squared print which GP "borrowed" from the paper cake cafe. The boys had a beer there with some guy they met online.
I really like this one and it looks so natural at the place where GP put it. I actually wonder if it is possible for it not to be discovered at all.
It's very possible for that to happen in Bulgaria. I used to work for an advertising company. All my colleagues were male. And (nothing personal or sexist) men prefer to have "artistic chaos" on their desks. I left that place more than one and a half years ago but one week ago I had a call from one of my ex-colleagues. He said, "Itso (my ex-boss) decided to clean his desk (apparently my desk was his now) and he found a copy of a diploma and its not his, or at least he doesn't remember knowing a girl named Marina. So, my question is - do you know some curly girl with the name of Marina?". I started laughing of course. Yeah, I knew this girl and the copy of the diploma was left by me on that desk. However this piece of paper stayed there for more than one and a half years before being discovered. I really hope that it won't happen with the cranes. The good thing is that it was discovered and they searched for the owner, so as the proverb says "Better later, than never".

Origami Yoga is the name I chose for the second crane, which Gian Paolo left in Sofia. GP is getting more creative with every new crane he makes. This one is made from a yoga class brochure, which he found in one, I quote, "cool bar/bookstore where we entered also because the bartender looked super cute". I know for sure that on my next visit to Sofia I will go to this cool bar/bookstore, where the bartenders are super cute.
Its funny that the crane is made from a yoga brochure because Gian Paolo's husband Bryan is actually very good at yoga. Actually after they finish their Euro trip, Bryan and GP are moving to England, where Bryan will probably start teaching yoga.From Sofia the boys will switch countries and I am so excited to see what is the next thing GP will find to make origami.
Sofia Origami Travellers Part 1
GP is working hard. Yesterday he spread three paper cranes around Sofia - the capital of Bulgaria. He continues to use whatever he finds to fold them - from newspapers to maps. This time the crane is s made of flier for a Free Walk Sofia Tour upon which Gian Paolo and Bryan stumbled after wandering through the city for 5 minutes without a map. The origami rests on the fence of St Aleksandar Nevski cathedral.
The name of this little fellow is St Nicholas. His name originates from GPs subconsciousness because he named the picture that way. Why? He is not sure. Nor am I. But nothing is a coincidence so I decided to name this little traveller St Nicholas. If someone is lucky to find and keep him, he/she will have a saint-origami, maybe the first one from his kind. And not to forget - the very useful flier for free tour in Sofia.
