Simple fish designed by Joseph Hwang
Tutorial by Evan Zodl
A very simple fish indeed. I've taken patterned and harmony papers with size 3 inch and 2 inch I guess. I did this like a month ago, I don't remember the size of the paper.

12 pointed star designed by Peter Keller @valleyfolder
Tutorial by Sara Adams @happyfoldingdotcom
This is like every other star, the speciality is I painted the other side with acrylic paint for the first time.. The step for this star starts from rectangular paper divided into thirds, and then cut into a hexagon. The model is mildly challenging. In the end we can see the colour change. Just to get that I took a red sheet, I bought acrylic paint and painted one side with glittering golden colour. You can see the colour change.
This is the first time I tried this method. The texture of the paper totally changed after paint dries. Loved the experience.

Celtic circle by Robin Scholz
I used 9 inch square sheet of regular kami.
Start from hexagon by dividing it into 32 grids.
When I first watched the video to check if it's doable, I felt it might be bit challenging. But when I dived into the tessellation, it was easy.

My health is not so good... I get anxiety attacks... And then I take pills... Which knocks my to sleep.... I cry relentlessly, feel nautilus, vomit and then sleep..... It's like my life is shit, fucked up royally....I compensate my depression and dull life by doing origami and posting on insta and here in my blog... I don't know how many models I've done in the past few weeks... I started this blog thinking it'll be a dedicated origami blog, but these days I share personal things.

Samurai designed by Adriano Mariani
I took 5 cm paper.... This is the smallest I've folded. For size reference I've placed it beside a 10 Rupee Indian coin.
It's an easy fold, hence decided to try it out with smaller paper.

Iimori snowflake designed by Melina Hermsen aka "Yureiko"
Tutorial by Sara Adams @happyfoldingdotcom
This is one design I found challenging to fold. I failed in my first attempt, it was hard for me to figure out the folds, after an hour or so I lost patience and crumpled up the paper and threw away.
Next day with more patience I started it back and I could make it... I could make both variations... The second variation was much easier since I had figured out the steps...
It's a beautiful design.... I loved it very much... Worth the effort... The satisfaction I got after I successfully folded is unexplainable.
I took 9 inch square sheet of paper for both variations.

I loved the design, though I scratched my head here and there to analyse. But it was total fun and a wonderful maple leaf....

I saw this crane in @ozneyer profile and got inspired to fold.

I saw this is @ozneyer profile and wanted to give it a try.... Enjoy the dragon crane.

I took 3 inch square sheets. Instructions available on Evan's website.
No glue. I totally loved this star. I tried with one color combination at first. Was not so happy with the outcome. Then I saw @dutchfolder had used harmony papers. I tried with harmony, still not satisfied with my work. Finally I saw another folder's photo. He had used multi colour. With that I totally loved the outcome. It's a fantastic design, worth giving a try.

Popiolek star designed by Natalia Guzowska
I took 9 inch square sheet of paper. This is one sheet wonder, meaning made of single sheet of paper.
The steps are intermediate, but the final effect is simply wonderful.
I have gotten bored of modulars these days, so I'm looking for one sheet wonders. One sheet wonders can be quite challenging.

Garland of hearts
Designed by Francesco Guarnieri
I had my eye on this design from a long time, but last time when I tried from the diagram I couldn't get the folds. Recently this week I tried and I could figure out. It's a wonderful model. I love it.
I took 4 inches of paper, totally 8 papers, no glue for assembly. Easy assembly.

Origami Corgi designed by Steven Casey
I am tired of folding modulars. It can get monotonous because of the number of units one has to fold. In my origami community I'm almost typecasted as a modular girl and I do of course get lots of appreciation for my modulars. But I want to break that typecast and try something new.
This is a single sheet origami. I took 9 inch square sheet of paper. I would say this is high intermediate, at least for me.... Because I had to replay some of the steps several times. But for some of you it might be a cake walk.
Hope you all like my one sheet wonder origami Corgi designed by Steven Casey.

I have used 4 inch size harmony paper. You get stunning looks. I have folded many 24 unit cubes but this time I ventured to assemble without glue. It was not so hard. It's a lovely design, I might make a sonobe icosahedron someday. Until then enjoy this cube.

I've been touring a lot these last few months.. I went to Thailand with my cousin and her friend's family, last year September end. I was in Thailand for my birthday, we didn't plan intentionally though.. it just happened. It was a fantastic trip, very memorable. We visited Pattaya and Bangkok.
Coming back, I went to Tamil Nadu kumbakonam with my yoga teacher's group, where we nearly saw 25 temples, then covered Chidambaram, brihadeshwara and Sri Rangam..... It was literally a temple run, I was tired by the end of the trip and feel sick.
Next month with the same yoga teacher's team I went to Kerala, Sri Adi Shankaracharya's birth places his father's place Kalady and mother's place Pirovam, then we saw Guruvayur, chota nikara.... After coming back I feel sick again...
In Feb I went to Odissa again the same yoga guru... We saw the very famous Puri Jagannath temple, Vishnu's alarnath temple, konark sun temple, Sakshi Gopal temple, Sri Adi Shankaracharya's ashram where there's vimala Devi's Shakti peetha... Throughout the trip my stomach was upset with indigestion.... Probably in Odissa I've spent most of the time in the bathroom than viewing temples.
All the places were so divine, lovely and memorable.
Because of my heavy duty trips, I didn't have time for origami. My health these days is not at all good... I suffer from complicated mental health issues. I'm taking baby steps everyday. Taking one day at a time. Life's challenging to me. Somedays I deal with it, somedays I give up. I just take anxiety pills. I carry it always in my purse. Basically life's fucked up royally..
I used to watch my origami community post so many of their works on Instagram. I would really miss origami. Today I spent sometime and folded this cracked sonobe also called as Russian sonobe.
Designers: Irina Reutskaya, Maria Vahrusheva, Natalia Romanenko
I used 1.5 inch : 3 inch sheets. The ratio has to be 1:2
I didn't have much patience today, so I shamelessly used glue for assembly.
