Hi everyone! I'm an arts & crafts fanatic who has been folding origami for about 20 years now. (That makes me sound old, LOL. I started when I was about 7.)

Aside from the other forms of art that I do, I decided awhile back that origami has been one of the biggest forms of art for me for many, many years. Thinking back, I can remember how much trouble I got into at school for folding homework, notes, and handouts into little things.

I love to talk with other origami enthusiasts and admirers, and hope to bring origami into the lives of people who are not familiar with it. I am fascinated by Fuse's models, and love to fold them again and again.

I am not a purist. Though I do prefer to fold from square paper, I will not turn my nose up if a model is made from a different ratio. I do love altered origami, as you can see by my crane ornaments. I am working on some more altered origami models of my own all the time, and the good ones will make it here. :)

I still do love traditional models, but not every modern artist shares that view. Cranes are one of the first things I learned to fold, and I continue to fold many of them to this day. Occasionally, I create Senbazuru as well...if I'm feeling extra enthusiastic!
