Lessons of Phoenix ComiCon:

  1. Doing origami with shiny foil paper attracts more attention from passersby than folding non-foil papers, no matter how prettily patterned. Especially large squares of foil.

  2. If Peter S. Beagle walks by your table and you just happen to have a silver origami unicorn, you GIVE IT TO HIM.

  3. If the only thing you are programmed for is a panel on SFF poetry, you get to tell comic book pros that you're there as a professional poet.

  4. Order business cards early enough for them to arrive BEFORE the event. (Thus the subject line.)

  5. Cute!nijna shirts are cute.

  6. Even if not done in shiny foil, a complete set of 2" Chinese zodiac animals also attracts attention.


(The little thing behind the boar is not droppings, but a tiny flower folded by a girl who wanted to show off how small she could fold things. I was impressed.)

P.S. [livejournal.com profile] stillnotbored's first line contest for the month is on.

So boar droppings come out in the shape of flowers?

I can accept that as fact.

Nice zodiac! I have a tiny lion folded out of 2" paper...I've carried it around for years, because I doubt I'll ever make another one; I've lost the patience to use toothpicks to crease the tiny folds.

Did tiny flower girl (or you) have any special techniques for working with the small stuff?
