Origami and lots of it
It's been a minute maybe two...time is a stretchy thing so they say its true.
And so, what HAVE I been up to?
In the months since departing from job, home, and the security blankey I call Seattle, I have been to two origami gatherings - A conference PCOC 2019 in Portland, OR., and MidWest 2020 in Indianapolis, ID. Both were amazing experiences. I met so many talented artists, interesting people, and I also managed to make a few new friends. I am always in awe of those who can both design and fold, and suddenly Star Wars echoes "Padawan learner" in my head...
I am discovering new designers and artists everyday and I have so much to learn. Some of my favorite models to fold & some of my favorite origami books come from the following designers.
Akira Yoshizawa
Beth Johnson
Fumiaki Kawahata
Robert Lang
Oriol Esteve
Ektaerina Lukasheva
