Why:

MIT's Office of the Arts held a juried Student Origami Contest/Exhibition this February, and I (along with other MIT-affiliated Boston-area origamists Jeannine Mosely , Elsa Chen, Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine ) were the judges. Aside from being great fun for we judges, the event brought together a number of current students who are very interested in Origami, and they're resurrecting the MIT Origami Club (OrigaMIT) with Erik as faculty advisor. Yay!

A couple of days before the opening awards meeting and exhibit opening, we realized it would be nice to have something to put the actual award certificates in. I volunteered to try and come up with something, and this was the result.
