It's been almost two weeks since I moved into my uni room in Birmingham, and I've quickly gotten used to the routine now. I get up early every day, make lunch and then leave to catch the train in New Street. (I live off campus, sad life but at least I'm close to the Bullring!) …

Mini shelf of origami-filled jars
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 …
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 …

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 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 …
