i have many crafty hobbies. origami is up there (although sewing takes the cake!). when i was a senior in college, i made my beloved godmother a jar of tiny rainbow colored stars with vibrant origami paper. (note to self and aunt stella: must snap a pic of this jar, next time i visit!!) this year, i had planned to make emily her own jar of pretty stars, but of course, time ran out. here's where i got up to by christmas... only half full!
how did i find such tiny origami paper? oh, i made them. i slit big squares into many tiny strips. (for a size reference, each square on my purple cutting mat is .25 inches wide. each strip was cut to be .375 inches wide) origami is mad therapeutic and is an ideal activity for movie/tv-watching because i don't really have to pay attention while i fold. here's the jar, full!
em is moving back to cali this summer and i'm moving to nyc (!!!) so i wanted to include a nostalgic friendship saying on the jar.
"friends are like stars... you don't always see them but you know they're always there. -hulali luta"
