I made these paperboats, five in all, using two A4 sheets from a newsletter from Tono, Japan, where I used to live. The figure seen on the boat is meant to suggest writer and poet Miyazawa Kenji, who would have loved Kaar's project.
Check out the end of Joanne Kaar's fun and inspiring paperboat project, devised to raise funds for Mary Ann's Cottage in Caithness, Scotland. The harbor's been closed, the show, featuring paperboats from 25 countries, is on, and Kaar is now auctioning off the many entries she received. Bids will be taken until 24 September. www.joannebkaarpaperboats.blogspot.com.
