Is this heart is a traditional origami model?
I originally thought it was, but was informed that it’s by Paul Kruger as listed in the post 🙂
Hi Chrissy, any chance you have Paul Kruger’s contact info? I see a lot of people selling this heart online but I wanted to ask for his permission to do so as well. I donate a lot of origami flowers and I have been trying to sell some to help fund my costs. any info I would appreciate very much.
Hi Mel, sorry I do not have his contact info, the person who informed me that the design belongs to Paul Kruger informed me again that they were not sure it was true or not. I hope you can find more info, perhaps try the Spot The Creator facebook group. 🙂
