Historically accurate and Internet diaries.

Hello! I haven't felt inspired recently and as a result the idea of writing a blog hit the back burner. And stayed there. With the heat off.

 I have been working on a lot of new projects recently, most YouTube related, all arts and crafts related.

I need a place to keep track of my thoughts, ideas and progress. With that, the blog is off the back burner and will now become a regularly featured outlet for my creative process. Today's topic?

 Teaching Origami. 

I am currently in the middle of filming an Intro to Origami course for curious.com/origamitwist. Curious is a relatively new video platform devoted to inexpensive educational lessons of the short and sweet variety.

I have been struggling with the research process for the course because I want everything to be as relevant and accurate as possible. It has been a nightmare trying to be historically accurate!

Who would have thought that there were so many differing ideas as to the origin of paper folding! I have persevered and as a result, I am currently in the editing process for the first of the eleven videos that will make up the course.

With that, here's a sneak peek in photo form of what you can expect to see when it is finished. I will be teaching 4 bases, 5 models and everything you need to know about the symbols and folds necessary to make a model using a simple to low intermediate origami diagram. It will be a great place to start for the beginner origami enthusiast and I hope you love it!

*Note to self: remember to put a link to the completed course here when it goes live!!!!*
