This is my first giveaway and hopefully not last, @marblely gave me a good idea on what to give away. Since postage internationally isn't exactly cheap, especially heavier stuff and 3d origami in boxes, the best thing to send is something that fits in an envelope. Origami tessellations are usually flat models making them perfect for this purpose.
About the origami
This is an intermediate tessellation model designed by Eric Gjerde called "Star twist" slightly altered for personal preference on a hexagon triangle grid.
Since it will be used as a coaster I applied a drop of glue to parts that could protrude(weak glue you could unfold if you really wanted to) so it could be as flat as possible. I'll apply some transparent acrylic spray to waterproof and protect the models when I get home, before sending them off to the winners.
Giveaway
I'll be giving away 10 or more prizes depending on the number of participants and post payout, probably not more than 20 though.
Each winner will get two origami coasters, blue and red. (Thinking about adding some secret extra with it so make sure the envelope is empty). I'll try using the origami envelope if the post office allows otherwise I'll just get normal ones.
if any of the winners want some model I've posted extra that would fit in the envelope feel free to mention, I'll consider it ^^
Winners will be decided with a random number generator
I will send out the prizes as soon as I can, most likely 3.9-5.9
Rules and important stuff
Upvote mandatory (vote weight not set, can be below 1% if necessary, I want everyone to be able to participate) show the post some love <3
Resteem not mandatory, I really don't want to force people to resteem content they don't want on their blog or have a lot of followers who wouldn't appreciate it. Greatly appreciated if anyone does though.
Comment that you want to participate, so I can add you to the participants list.
Participation deadline is post payout or 29.8-30.8 depending on timezone, I'm not too strict though, if I didn't already roll I might still add someone.
Getting the prize
The only way to send the prize to someone is to have their address, I value people's privacy and think the best way is if winners send it in a private message over discord, my user is -Killua#0468, you can just chat with me there if you want. For people without discord here's my e-mail: ivanglas@yahoo.com
To confirm the users they should write their discord name in the post comments(you can delete the comment after I confirm you on discord)
If anyone has a better idea or has any concerns please leave them in the comments bellow.
I already finished 20 coasters
Ps. I'm planning on sending to a couple people who've been supporting me for a while so I'll exclude them from the competition(10 prizes), if you want to participate instead I won't mind, if you want the prize leave a comment here and discord :)
@nanosesame @bronkong @cryptocariad @gmatthe2 @enternamehere @jamethiel @marblely @lindari
Probably shouldn't add more or else it won't even be a competition :s
anyway, good luck and hf :)
