Did you happen to catch Bob's post featuring the Canucks Origami Fan Art of Joseph Wu this past weekend? If you haven't you really should (you can check it out here). To say I was excited to read it would be a gross understatement - while I've never tried my hand at true origami per se, I do tend to get all geeked up about paper in general as a medium, and I found Joseph's video tutorial to be really clear and easy to follow.
At the end of the post Bob threw down a challenge to one-and-all to make one and send in a photo, and I took him up on it. I mean, how could I not - in addition to the video that shows you how, the downloadable art file was included as well! Let's just say that there was an awful lot of time between Games Three and Four, and I got a little carried away.
An Almost Complete History of Canucks Jerseys from 1970 until present
...okay, I got a lot carried away, as the photo above reveals. Didn't realize the team has sported so many looks in their 41 seasons! Thanks again to Joseph Wu for sharing the pattern and the artwork for the current uniforms, and thanks to The Hockey Uniform Database for the jersey archive so I could make the rest.
But speaking of Game Four, those Canucks of ours sure have their backs up against the wall tonight. Perhaps we could send the team some good cosmic vibes with some community origami love?
So I implore you, click the link, download the file and make yourself a mini Canucks jersey! And the best thing about it - when worn as a finger-puppet, it does not interfere with one's ability to cross said fingers!
