Origami Convention 2013 Countdown

Update 6/30/2013: Countdown and Convention had both ended. Thank you for following. I had a really fun time doing the countdown and also loved convention. I hope to do this again next year.

Origami USA Convention 2013 will be my first origami convention and I thought I'd get drummed up by doing a folding countdown. Follow me on twitter @azulet if you are curious. I've also updated my twitter profile temporarily to include this info page. Tell your friends and origami enthusiasts!

If you don't follow twitter, you can also bookmark this here and check back daily. 

Format

Share a origami model pic with the number days left until convention. (can check homepage for the official countdown down to the hours/minutes/seconds)

Hashtags 

#origamiconvention #countdown #newyork #2013 #origamiusa2013 

Note that these are just ideas, Origami USA doesn't have an official tag and OUSA2013 is already taken by another organization/ event.

Tools / Setup
For my photos with countdown, I used the app called Big Day (lite version is free). I entered June 21 as the event date to set up the countdown. The app allows me to choose any picture from my photo album as the background. Everyday, after folding a particular model, I would take a picture with my phone, then set it as the app's background pic. Then I would can take a screenshot of the image which includes the countdown number. Final step is to upload the photo on twitter and credit the creators!
