The Origami Forum

Hello everybody I stumbled upon this forum quite by chance, so pleased I did....
I was first introduced to Origami, when my mum brought me 12 sheets of paper and a " Teach Yourself Origami" paperback by Harbin. As I had been in hospital for a while after a m/bike accident, being bed ridden, that book saved my sanity That was in 1985..... I am 46yrs old now, female, living in the UK.
My Origami is very intermittant, but I find it helps me to find focus. This latest binge was started as I folded a Kusudama for a chum in hospital
I am so hoping that after having looked around the forum, that I may finally be able to fold my first piece out of my "Insects....." book by Lang? Never succeeded with any of them yet
Anyway, enough babble from me......
I have to say that after looking thru some of the Galleries , I feel like such a novice. What amazing works of Origami I have seen

welcome to the forum!
don't worry about high complex origami posts - everybody in here is a pupil or a student of origami-do, some do know a little more and others a little less, but we're all learning from and with each other ... fine, that you're going to join this community!

Thank you Grizzly man for the welcome
Its revitalised my interest looking at some of the galleries and postings on here.
I must admit to never having seen a crease pattern before ..... something I must delve into. Before I look at those, I have a strong passion to get my Robert Lang book out My purpose .... to be able to fold at least one of those wonderful insects and now, I have a wealth of experience at my fingertips to help me. That pleases me soooo much, as I have never met or spoken to anybody else with an interest in Origami....
