When I was in Cambridge, I came across a small fabric and haberdashery store called CallyCo. I wonder if many people knew about it? Since further along the street and in the more populated area is a Cath Kidston store, a very well-known store for cute items and sewing materials. I liked visiting both stores …

The fine art of paper folding, and some modular forms
Origami pinwheel hair pin
This is the last thing I can share with you before I go on holiday for three weeks. I will be away from my computer for the entire duration, and also away from my workspace and materials, so it's not like I could make anything anyway. ='( I've always tried to make origami into more …
3D origami vase with flower
More 3D origami goodness! You can make a simple pot by just stacking rows of triangles (and use some glue to make it sturdy) and it is fantastic for storing things. I have a large pot made with a base of 24 triangles to store all of my gemstones that I need to wrap. But …
Jar of 500 cranes
I find it somewhat therapeutic to fold origami cranes. It also gives you something to do when you have nothing else to do, or you're stuck and deliberating over a problem like I am. If you cut your own paper like me however, it will take you a lot longer. I'd say on and off …
Tutorial – Origami tulip with stem
I was asked by someone yesterday to produce a short tutorial on how to make an origami tulip, so here is a photo tutorial on making the tulip, as well as attaching it to a stem. I've taken many photos in an attempt to make the process clear. The photos are all thumbnails with the …
Origami tulip pot
Origami decorations are relatively easy to make. Once you make a flower, you can attach it to a stem made of florist's wire and florist's tape. Add a green leaf if you feel like it too. Here, I've made a bunch of tulips with stems, stuck them into a circle of oasis foam, and placed …
Origami corner bookmarks
When in a creative drought, I do a personal project called 'Week of...' where I take a simple craft and spend a week experimenting with said craft. It usually consists of making something new every day. You don't have to do a drastically different thing every day either, you could improve on something if you …
Sprucing up a kusudama
Kusudama (薬玉; lit. medicine ball) a paper model formed by sewing or gluing units together. Some origami artists dislike the use of papercutting and gluing, but I like them since they make lovely decorations. For 'true' modular origami, the artist Tomoko Fuse comes to mind. Kusudama balls (as they are commonly known as, even though the …
Tutorial – 3D origami moogle
A Final Fantasy fan will recognise this one! It's a 3D origami moogle! Truth is, I made this over a year ago now, but I finally made the video tutorial for it! Click me to see it, and please let me know what you think. ^_^ To make the model hold more securely, you can …
Magic rose cube
I made this red and green cube out of six interlocking units. It's really easy to make, especially if you've done modular origami before. It looks like any ordinary cube, right? Well, something interesting happens when you pull out the triangular-shaped parts of the three red faces! My ordinary cube has now become a rose! …
