Origamido also produces folded art and commercial designs for a variety of international clients. LaFosse co-curated Origami Now!, a wildly popular, year-long exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.

art of origami. The small booklet is well designed and written.
After a short introduction, there is a discussion of the best paper
to use, the key to the symbols used in the book, and a good
explanation of origami techniques. The instructions are clear with
good illustrations that youngsters will be able to follow
successfully." --San Francisco Book Review

interest of young people. They are bright and pretty and
distinctive…This is a great package for the middle-school set."
