I've been discovered! And now I'm published in a Montreal Magazine!
Actually it all started back in June, while I was still in school. A writer for the Montreal magazine Plaisirs de Vivre/Living with Style just happened to come across my bubble and was particularly interested in my origami. She got in touch with me proposing to publish my origami in their next magazine (which is out now), and said she would send me a pdf once the magazine is published.
I have been eagerly waiting for her e-mail, which has finally arrived. Actually she sent it last week, but for some reason I wasn’t notified about it; I had been communicating with her using a different e-mail address than my usual, which is supposed to automatically forward everything to my usual e-mail address, which it didn’t this time. But today I checked that other e-mail address and there was her e-mail with her pdfs… sent last week :P
You can see my work on the bottom right corner of pg3 here
And I wonder why everything looks brighter in this pdf; makes me wonder if the published version looks like that~
Update: I have a hard copy now
The works published here are my Born From the Hand, Born From Fingers and 3cm Family Swim

That’s wonderful Mui-Ling…I remember how great it felt when my first work was published..looking forward to seeing more of yours…congratulations…
Janis Zroback
Will they be sending you tear sheets and copies of the magazine?
Mui-Ling Teh replied
Thank you Janis. I was hoping they would send me a hard copy, but I don’t think that is going to happen… When the writer first wrote to me, I asked her “Is there a possibility that I can get a copy of the magazine once it is issued?”. In my mind I was thinking a hard copy, but she replied “sure I’ll send you a pdf when my paper will be published.”

Congrats!
Also, print sometimes looks darker than on-screen; so it may have been lightened to compensate.
Mui-Ling Teh replied
Maybe; but I also think that the writer sent me a low resolution pdf.
