The Art of Origami

Origami is something else, an art form so diverse and logical, that it defies description. It originally was a way of folding certificates, in halves or thirds, but has grown into a whole realm of decoration, toys, and more. Some die hards will swear that origami only involves square pieces of paper, but in fact only the simplest origami can be formed from this.

As the art has developed, origami artists have begun weaving, cutting, gluing, and even crumpling and watering the paper. I think it was the paper mushrooms that really opened my mind. Here I begin my origami collection, a variety of models that I have learned over the years.

 I hope that you will enjoy this pastime, this hobby, this art; as much as I have.
