Farewell (but not really)...

Hi guys!

I’ve been running this blog since I was a sophomore in high school, and it’s been around 7 years since I first started. It’s been a wild ride, but I think it’s time to retire the Tumblr -- I just don’t think this website is the place for the origami community that it once was.

That being said, I definitely have not stopped folding origami! If you still would like to follow my work, you can find me on Flickr or on my new Instagram.

Thank you all for your support over all these years, and keep on folding!

MY BODY IS READY I missed the kickstarter for this because it was more expensive, but I finally got my copy from OrigamiUSA!

Whoops accidentally reblogged something meant for my personal blog onto this one

A slight transition....

Hey guys! Warning--this is a long post~

So as you might have seen if you’ve been following me for a while, for the past 3 or so years that I’ve had this blog, most of what I’ve posted is kusudama (modular origami) (aka paper balls). I’ve sort of reached the point where it’s kind of hard for me to find models that I really want to fold. There’s a lot of models of kusudama out there that I know I haven’t made, but I guess I don’t really have an urge to make something unless I feel that itch to make it when I look at it (now that’s not to say the ones I don’t want to make aren’t beautiful, I just don’t get the itch). 

I’m probably going to be posting mostly tessellations now since I can reverse engineer them (fold them from the photo) and they’re a lot more fun for me to figure out. I’ll still fold kusudama every now and then, but it won’t be as often. I know I haven’t been posting on this blog as much as I used to (it’s great double majoring in bioengineering and math), but I hope to be able to motivate myself for the new year with more fun projects :D

I'm folding a 128x128x128 grid and it's almost 2am what am I doing This giant kraft paper is both a gift and a curse ;-;

Just impulsively bought a Jun Mitani book on 3D origami folding because I’m tired and I need something to look forward to when the semester ends beyond getting enough sleep for once.
