In My Head: Origami

While in school, I remember making silly little origami sculptures. I never understood the point, so I soon forgot all about them. Recently, that has changed. I can't stop thinking about the art of origami and its simple beauty. There is something so profound about a sheet of paper coming to life with just a few folds. I love it!
Just to clarify, origami is a lot more than paper cranes. I've been exploring this ancient art and have discovered that there is a whole culture of origami artists. Some of their creations are mind-blowing. Me... I'm still trying to make a simple airplane that will actually fly!
