2. Ross Symons in London

South African origami artist Ross Symons (who we featured here) travelled to London – and using 1 000 of his hand-folded creations – helped to promote a Raisin.com campaign to encourage people to start saving their hard-earned cash. “Clever!” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring.
