Tutorial used: Origamisan's Mini Album
Shortly after finding this tutorial, *ArtisanCraft announced an Origami Contest to celebrate their growing membership. I whipped up the album the next day, took some photos, and completed it by the end of the week. Having such a vague deadline is apparently a good motivator for me

Unfortunately, I didn't get a pic of the album with the photos in it. More details, including the photos I used, can be found here .

What do I like about this club?
To make this album, I used origami paper I had on-hand from a kit I got years ago. I was never that great at origami--always had to follow the instructions exactly as written and never designed anything of my own--and it will probably never be my primary form of art, but it felt really good to try it out again. Like knitting/crocheting, it's taking some simple, everyday object (string, paper) and turning it into something completely different just by folding it a bunch of times.

I like this club because it exposes me to art I probably wouldn't see otherwise--papercraft , woodworking , and one of my fave places to browse culinary arts --and motivates me to give it a try and get creative with something I wouldn't normally do. For this contest, I'm not "in it to win it"; I'm in it to try something outside of my ordinary routine and expand my creative boundaries with different media.
