I’m excited to announce that I’ve opened an Etsy shop for my origami! I’m happy that I have the opportunity to share my folded models more widely, and I hope they will find homes with people who will enjoy them.
As a start, I have three different ornament designs available in different metallic colors (pictures below). Since my time is fairly limited, quantities are limited (currently 12-15 of each) and I make no guarantees about when more will be available.
Each ornament is folded from a hand-painted rectangle of Elephant Hide paper, and the tag is printed onto Stardream paper to give it a bit of sparkle. The Elephant Hide is a fairly sturdy paper, and the curves create an eggshell-like effect that also strengthens the model. One of the advantages of painting the paper is that I can be sure I’m using lightfast colors that won’t fade over time. I started folding similar ornaments almost 9 years ago, and they’ve held up well over the years even in relatively humid environments (just don’t drop a drop a book on one, or anything like that).
I’m hoping to add more colors in the coming months. If you have any specific requests, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do!
