After seeing this picture in the Owen Sound Sun Times, an older gentleman showed up at Grey Roots this morning before my 3D Paper Folding Workshop. He had a beautiful swan a few pieces of which had fallen off and asked if I could fix it for him. It was a gift from a Vietnamese refugee whom he sponsored to come to Canada 32 years ago. The swan had a little accident and fell from the shelf it was on. I managed to "heal" this precious gift. He was beaming when leaving the museum.

I was actually quite nervous as I was handling the swan, trying to figure out where the pieces came from. Glad I could restore it!
