Thanks so much for this. I can only agree that origami is awesome! There are not many complete crafts where the materials list is one thing only … I have been doing origami for some years and there are always new models and designs being created. Some so complicated the average person can only marvel at them, but thousands of things can be folded by anyone and many of these easier ones are so brilliant …
