With Christmas just round the corner, there is no better time to fold Santas, is there? I tried this Santa because of how natural he looks. I think all that this Santa is missing, is his big sack of toys! The model has been...
Our Church Choir had recently gone on a 2-day trip to a nearby hill station. We usually make it a point to go out together, at least once a year to a resort or a hill station. At the least it gets us away from our busy lives...

Let me start off by saying that the more I read about origami snapology, the more information I find! Plenty of tutorials are available to make the basic snapology unit. As for assembling the units into various polyhedra, there...
In the past couple of years, I have made and sold quite a few of my origami earrings online. This has been a fairly easy job for me, since I could make the earrings I wanted and put them up for sale when I wanted to. There was...
I enjoy making paper bags from a variety of paper. Handmade bags make great gift bags, especially when the paper used is handmade paper. I find that scrapbooking paper results in some very beautiful bags, such as the 2 green...

If you are wondering if I have abandoned the blog, well, that isn't happening any time soon! But I haven't been making a lot of origami per se. More of origami jewelry and experimenting with paper - what paper to use for what,...
The Kawasaki origami rose is something every origamist tries. I too did. But my first attempt, about 3 - 4 years back, was not much of a success and that put me off roses. But recently, there was a post in one of the Facebook...
The origami buckyball is the representation of the Buckminster Fullerene molecule - a stable form of carbon. The other 2 are, of course, diamond and graphite. Some interesting facts about the buckyball: The buckyball family...

Well, after a long time I worked on some modular origami - the origami football (soccerball). Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, cos I absolutely loved making the football. It helped that it very closely resembles...
Summer is a time for beach-themed projects and challenges I think. Last year, I had made a summer-themed origami composition. This year, a Facebook group had a challenge for May, which comes to a close today. I tend to wait till...
The Little People's Festival, which was the event I was participating in, an event which I was eagerly looking forward to, finally happened on 27th April. And if you are wondering why I took so long to post details of the event,...
This month has been a busy time for me, as I am getting ready for an event. And here is what I have been working on.. These stars set in spirals are decided difficult to make! I wish there were some instrument that would make...
This origami bear head bookmark is designed by Klaus-DieterEnnen and isn't very difficult to fold. Duo-coloured paper with brown and black might work out very well I think. Brown for the head and black for the little nose. The...
