Origami
.
Wouldn't some of this type of origami fit nicely with my stitch work in some interesting mandalas? I found this on Quilling Xu's Flickr site. I had to look at each of her 197 photos - her work is outstanding! I have several books on origami; I have always found it fascinating. Not enough hours in the day to try everything at once.
This style is also called teabag folding, although those designs tend to be made from flowery identical pieces of paper. It started as an art form derived from folding tea bag wrappers by a woman who needed a birthday card for a relative and had no money to buy one. It started in Europe, England, Holland, etc. - depending on one's source of information.
Here's an interesting site for different types of origami.
Oh my gosh! I'm a big fan of toilet paper folding but I've never seen anything fancier than the simple point. I've got some practicing to do!
How about toilet paper wedding dresses for those on a budget with LOTS of time on their hands?
This is why I could spend my life on the Internet. One thing leads to another. Look what else I found.
Enough. I must be productive today, must be productive, must be productive.
