I cannot begin to explain how much space origami gives me.... It pulls me down from an aggravated and unstable state.... By the time I fold two pieces, I'm slowly coming down.... Of course there's medicines which I take generally even crossing the prescribed dosage, sometimes yes required to calm me down... Somehow I've become very dependent on. lorazepam or Ativan.... I just love this meds.... It puts me to sleep... And I want to sleep for good... One day perhaps... I've day I'll sleep for good...

I finally received my divorce papers. But I don't have the courage to read through. I'll save it for another day. 😔 End of story and my love life. Though is signed the papers there years back, I hadn't asked a copy for my reference. Recently I had to apply for passport renewal and I wanted to remove his name. That's when I realised I don't have a copy. How stupid of me to realise so late!!!!

I don't know if you have noticed, in this pic there's a small mistake. Everything is symmetrical except for one place. A small flap is opened, or had to be closed behind. I don't know if I'm a perfectionist, I can't really say. But the fact that this pic is not perfect bothers me to some extent.
I was thinking about this mistake, how it could've slipped my eyes, I saw a reel of a pro dancer. The tauba tauba dance is sweeping the internet. Everyone's making reels of it. This dancer also does not falls off while dancing and she gracefully stands up and continues. I felt nice 🙂👍 . I thought my small flaw can be excused perhaps 😂
This beautiful wolf is designed by Tetsuya Gotani
You need 2 sheets of paper. I used two 6 inch square sheets. I used tant papers.
The videos can be found in Mariela's YouTube channel. Under the series folding with masters.
I'm waiting for my divorce papers... It's on the way, not yet reached me... I feel more and more depressed. I cry and cry, somedays are so difficult. I didn't expect my life to turn out to be like this... Many a times I feel why the f*** I'm still alive or infact why should I live... What should I live for?
Origami and music brings me momentary happiness. And then I'm back to my depressed world... I feel I'm being punished heavily for a moderately committed mistake.
This is a lovely wolf to fold... No glue required to attached the front and hind parts. I loved folding it. Try it on....
Designed by Celina Sakamoto
I folded inspiração just few days back... I loved it so much that I wanted to fold another variation. Or basically I was bored and depressed looking for some happiness in my life..
I took sometime to figure out few steps. Actually I was looking for some simple origami as my life is unexplainably complicated. I didn't want to stress myself more... Last few days have been so bad for me.. I don't have a purpose in life to live. I don't know..... Really..... I feel I have to take some things to grave, I can't share with anybody... Even with my psychiatrist.... I feel heavy.... I feel so anxious.... To go outside... To fall asleep... What a treacherous life I have!!!!! Im so damm dependent on meds.... I sometimes I'm addicted to medicines....
Anyways this design by Celina Sakamoto is very beautiful and interesting... You can find Diagrams on her Insta page... I just loved this mandala....
I used 8 of 6 inch duo papers...

Today I woke up to the news of sudden demise of Ms. Meenakshi Mukerji. I was shell shocked and couldn't believe my eyes.
I adored her very much and she was a constant inspiration to me. My origami journey started with her book Ornamental Origami. These are the first ever four origami models I folded designed by herself. And in the subsequent month I met her, to be precise on 1 August 2014, in Sunnyvale public library. Just a few months before a tragic incident in my life. My life took a downturn after that. I totally held on to origami to live my life and to remain sane and fight my depression. I folded several of her designs which gave happiness and solace.
She invited me to origami group that she led in Bay area. I was happy to join and went participated few times. In the next few years I folded several of her designs and I totally became her fan. She has immensely contributed to the origami world.
You continue to live through you designs.
I'll miss you Meenakshi. I'm becoming very emotional as I'm writing this. May your soul RIP.
Sayonara 💗
Love,
Deepika

I folded quite a few origami models last month.... This is the last of the series...I picked those models I found interesting, I was little tired of modulars and wanted a break from them .. so mostly I picked single sheet..
I'm taking break now from origami... I haven't folded in a week and I don't see me fold for another few weeks too (I guess!!!!)...
Until next time Sayonara 🌺

Origami fractal flower...
Designed by Hongyi Wan
Folded by me from single sheet of paper. Photo 1 is of 3 layer, 2 nd photo is of 2 layer....
It was really challenging for me... I didn't get it at first two attempts.... This is my third attempt.,.. I thought may be I'm not using the right paper and size... I tried with regular kami, which didn't work. Then I tried with tracing paper which also failed. Basically paper would tear off.... Finally on third attempt, after having gained some experience from my failures, with regular 9 inch kami , i was able to fold 2 layers.... Then I took a larger paper to try add one more layer.... It's a beautiful model which I totally loved folding....
No glue, no cuts

Origami butterfly by Hideo Komatsu
Tutorial by Mariano Zavala Origami
I used 8.25 square sheet of paper ...
This video was 1.20 hours long... Usually kusudama videos long for 5 , at the max 10 min.... And then it's up to the folder to fold... I recently started folding 3D origami... I say through 20-30 min videos to fold... That itself was patience testing for me.... This was 1 hour 20 minutes long.... But I decided to give it a try....
Usually with such complex designs, I have no problem with initial folds, I can follow along up to some stage. After that it becomes hard.... This butterfly didn't come perfect. I messed up the head part... The head became shapeless and crumpled.... I hid it for the sake of taking a picture.... Also I've shaped the edges to my liking....
Sitting through 1 hour 20 minutes was a challenge...
