Paper Penguin Project |
| |
|
| |
|
Hi,
My name is Guy Wooles and I’m an artist and designer
based in Wales. Twelve years ago I set up the Paper Penguin
Project as a final year piece of work for my degree in Fine
Art in Context. The project was designed to be a fun and interesting
as well as educational but sadly it has lain dormant for a few
years so now I've decided to reinvigorate the site and get it
up and running again.
I am planning to provide educational and conservation information
on the site as well as a page for penguin/wildlife related worksheets
for educational establishments as well as individuals. So if
there's anything you think I might include on the site or you
have any ideas or information I can use I would appreciate your
suggestions.
If you would like to take part in the project by taking one
of my penguins and documenting its experiences with you it could
be an interesting and fun way to show people the work that you
do. Also you could use it as a vehicle to raise issues that
you are currently dealing with. I'm hoping the Project could
also be away of bringing different zoos and organisations together
to share information and ideas.
I assume this is the first you have heard of the Paper Penguin
Project so all the information can be found on the site for
you to decide whether you would like to get involved in the
project.
I have had penguins at the North Pole, New Zealand and Hong
Kong – to name but a few. So they are already well travelled!
I have added your link to my site and was also hoping that
you might place my link on your site. If you don’t think
it appropriate this does not mean that I will remove your link.
Thank you for your time
Guy Wooles

Guy,
What a fun website. I loved all the pictures folks took of
their paper penguins in action. We’d be happy to be a
part of this project, and look forward to receiving our penguin.
It’s fine that you linked to us, but if you could list
us as the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas instead of the Audubon
Zoo, we’d appreciate it. The Zoo is our sister organization,
but we’re the facility that has a penguin exhibit, and
will be participating in the project. Please let me know what
we need to do to get the ball rolling. Thanks!

Hi Tricia,
Thanks for your reply and your keen enthusiasm. It's people
like yourself that has made this project the success that it
has been so far. Now it's time to make it bigger!!
I have a group of penguins plating a game of paper, scissors,
stone, to see who will be the lucky one to visit and work with
you at the Aquarium. We are all great fans of Audubon's Birds
and can't wait to see what happens at the Aquarium.
If you could let me know the address for the lucky penguin to
be sent to then I will pack their bag, get their coat and book
the flight (well...waddle).
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Guy

The Adventures of Polly the Paper Penguin |

Hi Tricia,
Today I waved goodbye to Polly, who, at this very moment, is winging
her way to New Orleans to be with you at the Audubon Aquarium.
Hopefully, she'll be with you by the end of the week. But knowing
what the postal service is like here it's anyone's guess.
You can see what she looks like in her travel suit on the website
www.paperpenguins.co.uk/polly.htm.
If you could let me know that she's arrived safe and sound, that
would be great.
Hope this message finds you healthy and well.
Speak to you soon
Guy

Guy,
We are very excited to have Polly join us at the Aquarium,
and we’ll let you know when she arrives. We’re looking
forward to showing her the city and introducing her to our penguin
colony. Thanks!
