Zsuzsanna Kricskovics

For many a long year, I’ve been friends with Zsuzsanna. We used to write, then latterly communicate via the internet. She’s been an amazing ambassador for Hungarian origami and is a true artist in the field. We met at the recent Hungarian Convention and I had the pleasure of giving her grandson a copy of my DVD kit and in a few minutes, he had completed one of the models!

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
