I’m using the 2010 Ed Hardy Tattoo Art Calendar to craft origami. Each page is of course a square and sturdy enough to fold.

Bonus for this: paying $2.50 for the calendar and getting 365 sheets of folding paper. No two pieces are identical. I have plenty of calendars for 2010 so this one is dedicated to origami.

As modeled from this penguin diagram.

Liz Mitchell, aka Pixelfish, made me blush. She’s written a short but flattering article over on her site about yours truly and this blog, Folding Paper.

Liz’s work covers a myriad of mediums, techniques and styles. Creative drive, and a strong sense of self drive the work. It’s an honor have my own humble origami work pointed out.

Welcome to Folding Paper, my take on Origami, paper folding and other crafting.  I’ll be tackling this from a novice’s point of view, though there might be a nugget or three here for the expert.

The motivation for this blog is that I’ve recently taken up Origami.  I’ve always wanted to do this sort of craft and during some recent down time had a chance to get started.  The supplies were easy enough to locate but I did have to ask around.

In the near future expect to see some of my crafted pieces, links to other origami focused sites, and reviews of books and materials.  If you’re at all interested, be sure to drop in often, leave a comment, or drop me a line.

For now, drop me an email, I’m tojosan on gmail.  Or hit me up on Twitter, @tojosan.

Cheers, and happy folding.
