You're bidding on an original piece of origami art, created and donated by the artist, Brian Chan, for this auction.

Fans of Brian Chan's complex work (and super-accurate insects!) will not be disappointed by this lifelike, detailed version of a Mantis.  The piece is approximately 4x2x3 inches, and made from a single sheet of red Origamido(r) paper, crease pattern laser cut for the artist by Robert J. Lang. 

The artist is also graciously donating free (economy) shipping on this item, worldwide.

We accept PayPal payments for the successful bid; we regret that we cannot accept any other payment methods at this time. Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of these works, and the volunteer nature of the project, we also regret that we cannot accept returns.

About these auctions and Origami Caravan:

One hundred percent of the proceeds of this auction will go to Origami Caravan, a volunteer project supporting Japanese children affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. (Read more about the project here.)

From 25 Oct - 11 Nov 2011 (World Origami Days) we'll be auctioning original origami artwork, donated by the artists themselves, to support the project.

We're starting auctions for new items each day, and will announce and link to each auction on the Origami Caravan auction project website as each one goes live. You can subscribe to the site RSS feed to get notices of each new auction.

Thanks for your support!
