Origami Safari Tree @ AMNH
The 34th annual Origami Holiday Tree at the American Museum of Natural History, which will be on display through January 1 on the first floor Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall. This year’s theme, “Origami Safari,” showcases a teeming jungle of paper lions and tigers and bears… zebras, rhinos, giraffes and one pink elephant.
The pieces were crafted by members of Origami USA, whose volunteers began folding in July to complete the approximately 500 creations displayed on the tree, and arranged around the base.
Uptown at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, the Peace Tree is decorated annually with one thousand white paper cranes.
And too late for this year, but I love Well Dressed Home’s porcelain origami crane ornaments — though my usual tree would probably collapse under the weight of more than a dozen.
