Awareness of the outside world. Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, Kinetic Joy: How to Read Origami Diagrams
~~~
From video, Creative Inspired Alive: Origami Workshop + Book Club Discussion: The Incredible Kindness of Paper, Virtual Launch Party!, Skye, Aug 18, 2025.
On the video, the author folded two flowers simultaneously. She did each step twice. If you got it the first time, rock on. If you missed a bit, you could see it again. I often get annoyed following the glacial pace of demo videos. I vastly prefer this method.
I have heard much about authors having to do their own PR. This seems like A) a lot of effort & B) a great choice. Worked on me.
Paper is 10″x10″ TANT Large, double-sided, single-color from Taro’s Origami Studio. Lovely color, nicely foldable.
I found the book to be sweet & unrealistic & wonderful. Sometimes that’s just what you need. Book donated to library, so image from website.

I haven’t practiced origami in years! I’ll get back to that in 2026. Your yellow flower looks good.
