We've been enjoying every moment of summer. Mostly out and about, traveling, swimming, scootering in the park. But once in a while we'll just stay home and pull out the crafts.
Chronicle Books sent me a copy of Party Origami by Jessica Okui of Zakka Life, and the girls and I had a fun time checking it out and making some of our first origami projects ever. Now that they are a bit older, and are more precise with their folds, it's a lot more fun and everything they attempted was successful. One of these bird placecard holders was made by me, one by my 8 year old, as her first origami project ever, I think. Can't really tell which is whose, can you? Honestly, I don't even remember.
The book is in a cute little format, perfect as a gift because it includes the beautiful two-sided paper and is basically a little kit. There is a *lot* of paper, 75 sheets, which is important for people like me who tend to hoard the "good stuff." In this case, I don't really have to worry, because there is plenty to go around. Good diagrams, simple. It could have the potential to get someone started on a paper folding kick...
See Jessica's name there in the corner? That's so cool.
I don't how I missed this post. I guess I was checked out from the web during the summer.
Thanks for reviewing my book :) Your origami pieces all look great!
