Miss you Meenakshi

 



Today I woke up to the news of sudden demise of Ms. Meenakshi Mukerji. I was shell shocked and couldn't believe my eyes. 

I adored her very much and she was a constant inspiration to me. My origami journey started with her book Ornamental Origami. These are the first ever four origami models I folded designed by herself. And in the subsequent month I met her, to be precise on 1 August 2014, in Sunnyvale public library. Just a few months before a tragic incident in my life.  My life took a downturn after that. I totally held on to origami to live my life and to remain sane and fight my depression. I folded several of her designs which gave happiness and solace.

She invited me to origami group that she led in Bay area. I was happy to join and went participated few times. In the next few years I folded several of her designs and I totally became her fan. She has immensely contributed to the origami world. 

You continue to live through you designs.

I'll miss you Meenakshi. I'm becoming very emotional as I'm writing this. May your soul RIP. 

Sayonara 💗

Love, 

Deepika

Origami Brachiosaurus 🦕



Brachiosaurus 🦕🦕🦕 


Designed by Jo Nakashima 


I've taken 6 inch square sheet 

I folded quite a few origami models last month.... This is the last of the series...I picked those models I found interesting, I was little tired of modulars and wanted a break from them .. so mostly I picked single sheet.. 


 I'm taking break now from origami... I haven't folded in a week and I don't see me fold for another few weeks too (I guess!!!!)... 


Until next time Sayonara 🌺
