Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper.
My origami creations are simple compared to some of the
unbelievable work being done in paper folding today. But I
find the intricate folds and assemblies challenging
... and quite habit forming. |

These beautiful wreaths are hard to stop making!
I've got dozens, all made from the designs in one book.
Here they are, and all assembled without glue. |

The
shape and texture of this wreath is so lovely
that I chose to use plain parchment paper |

They go together so quickly, and without glue.
Each star is made of 6 pieces of folded origami paper.

These
origami creations are made up of small "units" that fit together
to form larger geometric forms.
Each unit is one piece of
folded origami paper.
Assembly

These
little boxes start out as parchment paper printed with my
original tiling designs. They are then assembled using no glue at all.
They are surprisingly sturdy, yet delicate in appearance. |
