Origami Calm
Welcome!
If you're wanting to slow your life down a little (or a lot) and do something fulfilling, origami is a great solution. It is wonderful for stress relief and anxiety. It keeps our hands busy, gives the mind a rest... and calms us down.
Origami can be very helpful as a companion to meditation. Folding a well known origami model brings our attention away from our busy 'monkey minds'. It allows us to tune into our hands, our breathing, our surroundings..ourselves.. and that which is beyond ourselves.
My videos are mainly simple origami models which can be learnt and memorised in a short time. I hope you find them useful.
Update: I'm sorry I've not made any videos lately - I had Covid in 2020 - am hoping to start making new videos in April/May 2021. Thank you for watching and subscribing! :-)

Thank you to everyone who joined me on the live video to those who gave it a like! I don't know what happened to it afterwards....who knows where it went! It doesn't seem to be here though. The next one will be on Tuesday at around the same time: 3.30pm British Summer Time for half an hour. I'll do a few and see if anyone is finding them useful. And with any luck I'll get more relaxed 😂.
So, if you feel like some mostly quiet company while you're folding or doing other crafts, I'll be there and it would be lovely if you want to drop by. I'll fold something simple again so anyone who doesn't know it can pick it up as we fold together. I'm thinking some sort of box..but am open to other ideas. Also, if anyone wants me to repeat the alternative crane method let me know. It is useful for small cranes, connected cranes or thicker paper, and it generally gives quite neat results.
Editing to add: I think youtube 's algorithm may have deleted it as I marked the video 'not for kids' - as it was really more for over 13 origami folders and crafters. Not sure how to get around that one.

Hi, I've made a new video. Just a little fun thing to do with all that loo roll...! Small gestures can make a big difference so I hope it brings a smile and eases your lockdown experience :-). Stay safe and well everyone!
