2014 Cosplayer Crane Ceremony ~ A Tribute To Life ~

[TifaIA]

@ TifaIA: Thank you! Could you show peeps @ a Q & D in the Hangout on Friday too? If you and Charis each do one then more people could learn and more cranes :)

Of course! I'll be happy to help show off my mad crane skills. >.>

/sigh That was so lame of me. *goes back to the corner to sew*

Thank you everyone for helping with this. I really appreciate the support.
I will be onsite Thursday evening (after all I have the old school cosplay gathering @ 6 pm :P ) So you can leave it with me & my staff. Or at ConOps

I am going to have the donated origami paper at Gatherings Table & at CH1 MRH . If someone wants to participate in the ceremony then they bring their crane, if they want to contribute cranes they can drop them off at either location or come to the ceremony.

I wish I had someone to do a Origami Q & D for the Hangout on Friday that peeps could come to.. that would be cool too. Hummm...

I'll leave the origami paper at conops if I can't find you.  I'll be selling at swap meet both Thursday and Friday so may not make the ceremony, but I'll leave some cranes as well.

I havent lost anything extremely signifanct, but this year my best friend did get married and moved away which did incite a lot of heartbreak considering we barely see each other at all anymore since she married into the army, but Id love to make a crane for her and her husband, who Ive also known for years. Right now he is deployed and Id like crane to symbolize his safe return to her and us.

That is as good a reason as any and it doesn't have to be significant to others, it only needs to be significant to you. :) I look forward to seeing you.

@ All Cosplayers: So I have this set for 7:30 pm on Friday ~ FCC HS. Bring your crane (s) with a string running through it under the legs and out the top approx. 12" - 24" long. TifaIA and Charis said they will help people learn to fold cranes amd I will most likely have them set up at the gatherings table location. They can come by when ever they are free and help all of you learn. I am training my staff to do them too.

I will take any origami paper donations of any size or color and string at the cosplayer gatherings table or at the cosplayer hangout. Paper crane folding will be all weekend or until supplies run out. If anyone wants to do a Q&D on Origami Folding let me know ASAP. I luv workshops! Can't wait to sit in on the NO FEAR PROPS! workshop/Q & D on Saturday in CH1 MRH... (Check the gatherings list for info or on the fanime web site)

Thank you again cospeeps! Love & Peace!

When/where would you suggest volunteers show up to help? c:
I'll be cosplaying Ivan from Tiger & Bunny (aka Origami Cyclone) and I just keep thinking how ridiculously appropriate it'd be to help out at some point over the weekend. I really want to, whether it's just helping teach cranes at a table, or even holding or helping out with a workshop. I know how to fold a few things (cranes, ninja stars, bunnies, cats, and hearts), I've just never run or even attended a workshop before so I'm just not sure where to start... ^-^;

How about an Origami for beginners and all you will need to do is bring some origami paper. you can work with small groups and show them how to make stuff. Give me a day and a time and I will try to get it on printed.. otherwise I will just have it as a write in.

Thank You :)

I think I can manage that! c:

How's 11am on Friday? I feel I'd be the most on top of things that early into the con. If that doesn't work, maybe 1pm on Saturday?

Both times are available in CH1 MRH (Cosplayer Hangout - Market Room Hilton Hotel) If you are interested in doing one each day that would be AWESOME! I will have to write it in @ con though since everything is being printed now If that's ok?

That sounds like fun. I'm usually not that busy at cons, so there shouldn't be any trouble.
And of course, I don't mind, I only found out about this yesterday anyway :'D

[BunofGovt]

How did this go?  Will someone post pics?  So damn sorry to miss this!

No clue. :/ I was there Friday to help show people how to make cranes and dropped off a lot of extra paper. One of the staff members informed me it was cancelled Friday and rescheduled for Saturday, but no one knew what time. It was a great idea so I hope it didn't fall through. :(

[hazuza]

Well, both times I stopped by for my workshops no one showed up, and there were only a few cranes on Saturday :c Oh well.

[BSaphire]

So my whole department was dancing to the FanimeCon 2012 Shufflin which caused issues with this happening... SO in 2013 I WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I spoke with Ric Meyers and he taught me a really cool Pen Shui technique for the body to help with mind and body and I wanted to show everyone so I will be doing that in 2013. I'm REALLY sorry that this didn't happen this year, but with all the origami paper and stuff donated (which I really appreciate) we will be doing it again.

What I would like to know is would anyone be willing to do a workshop on origami paper folding for beginners? I want to get the Cosplayer Hangout schedule in the program guide and on the website next year so I'm starting EARLY!

Just so peeps know, an advantage to having your panel/workshop/Q & D's with the Cosplayer Hangout is that I can schedule your times to fit more of your gathering/cosplaying time during FanimeCon 2013.

Again, I am sorry that this didn't happen this year, but I had such a possitive response to it that I promise to make sure this happens on Friday night for 2013.

A wish of HOPE to all the Cosplayers out here!

ya... I came to the spot I was shown where it was with a crane and i waited outside by myself for a half hr. it wasnt fun.....
I'm glad to hear that is more likely to happen next year.

[BunofGovt]

I'll be glad to help demonstrate.  I'll probably be at swap meet again next year, so Friday morning (or before 3pm) or any time Saturday or Sunday (if you go that long) would be fine for me.

[BSaphire]

@LakuriSyaoran: I am sorry that no one talked to you that was on my staff :(  I sent you a message on the C.c forum.
@ BunofGovt: Do you want to do just cranes or would you be willing to do an "Origami for Begginers" workshop? If you want to do a workshop on Friday that would be very cool. I want to get the CH programming done WAY in advance so I can get it in the program guide. I would like to have one workshop each day so if others would like to do an "Origami for Begginers" or if you can do advanced that would be cool too, just post here and we will get it listed.
As of right now I have no clue on what is happening with Cosplay Masquerade, so I am going to play it as everything will stay on Sunday for 2013 till I hear otherwise.

Origami for Beginners would be okay (basic folds, some easy items to start with, paper choices, folding the crane) with me.

[BSaphire]

Hi Cospeeps!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to update that I have been making cranes and I am up to 45 little ones! I sure hope others are out there too!

I moved again and haven't been able to post much, but I will try to get everything cleaned up and running smoothly soon. Work on your folding skills and crane making so we will have 1000 cranes by Fanime 2013. I haven't confirmed origami making workshops yet, but if you are interested in hosting one leave me a pm. I will get back to you but it make take me a little while longer.
Love and Peace COSPEEPS!
