Paper Love Affair

Well, this one was a long time in the making. The chiyogami was originally paired with orange paper and it just wasn't right. After I paired it with the blue, the piece just came together.

These past few years, I've made my lovely mom origami for her birthday. Here is this year's piece. #origami #paper #paperart #shimmer #chiyogami

A piece for the @rusticrootsvt silent auction with proceeds going to Spectrum Youth and Family Services. Also my first time ever doing a different type of paper art. #paperart #paperflower #h'art

#2016bestnine it's been quite a year for the folds! Thank you all for your support. This year has been transformative for me in how I fold, and what colors I use. I reached 200 followers this year, and I challenged myself with harder and harder patterns. A huge thank you to @megberlin for photographing my pieces, and to @bijoufinechocolate & @rusticrootsvt for showing these beauties in their spaces. #chiyogami #mulberrypaper #foilpaper #paperart #kusudama (at Bijou Fine Chocolate)

Well... I guess this one isn't very neutral. Oh well... I love the blue and gold here. They play off one another well. Designed by Tomoko Fuse, folded by me, and photographed by @megberlin #origami #paper #paperart #foilpaper #festive

This piece reminds me of fairy lights and snow. It took me hours to make, but it was worth it. Designed by Tomoko Fuse, folded by me, and photographed by @megberlin #kusudama #paper #paperart #foilpaper #festive

This one reminds me of snowflakes, or wrapped presents with curled ribbon. I enjoyed folding this one. Designed by Tomoko Fuse, folded by me, and photographed by @megberlin #origami #paperart #foilpaper #festive

Autumnal and festive. As the days get shorter and colder, i find myself drawn to earth tones, neutrals, and cool tones. Design by Tomoko Fuse, folded by me, and photographed by @megberlin #origami #paperart #festive #foilpaper #kusudama

More festivities. I'm half enjoying, half hating working with the foil. It's so pretty and shiny, but like all other foils, the slightest ding will show up. Designed by Tomoko Fuse, designed by me, and photographed by @megberlin #paperart #origami #kusudama #foilpaper #festiveorigami

Well. It's early November, but I have to start thinking of the holidays already. Poor me. This one is red and gold, and is made with 7.5x3.75cm paper, and it was designed by Tomoko Fuse, folded by me, and photographed by @megberlin #origami #paperart #kusudama #foilpaper #festiveorigami

WELL. This picture is a bit late. This piece was finished in August... it is designed by Ekaterina Lukasheva and the pattern is Passiflora. #origami #kusudama #kusudamaflower #modularorigami #paperart

The sister piece to the gold one. Design by Tomoko Fuse, photographed by @megberlin and folded by me. #chiyogami #paperart #origami

Petals in chiyogami. There will be a sister kusudama coming.

And more. I think I've gotten most of the backlog of work posted here!

Massive photo dump! I've been working pretty consistently on this one pattern, but I'm currently working on another pattern. More to come!

I've been working hard on my origami these past few months. I know my blog has been a bit quiet recently, but I've started using chiyogami in my pieces... It makes me so happy just to work with it in a large piece.
