My name's Sara Adams, and I discovered origami for myself during Christmas 2005. I've been hooked ever since. The intention of this site is to get you hooked, too. You've been warned! — Now go enjoy some instructional videos, pictures in the gallery, and all the rest of it. And most importantly, happy folding!

Dictionary module for Drupal

23 June 2009 - 12:16pm — Sara

Yes, it's true! I've committed my first Drupal project. After having set up the dictionary here, I had some responses that it'd be great if they could set up such a dictionary on their Drupal page, too.

After reworking the dictionary a bit, I applied for the submission of the module, and it was accepted! See the project page at http://drupal.org/project/dictionary

And for those of you who have no idea who or what Drupal is, it's the content management system that I use for happyfolding. In other words, it's what makes this website work.

Origami T-Shirt

12 June 2009 - 6:42pm — Sara
I came across this origami T-shirt today. It shows a book that is falling apart - the pages are flowing away, and folding themselves to some origami models. And because a picture can say more than thousand words:
T-shirt Fly Away
The T-shirt is on sale today at http://riptapparel.com/, so you can purchase it for a mere $10. They ship internationally, and feature a different T-shirt every day.

Back to the Basics

Yes, indeed, I'm going back to the basics - or rather the bases. I'm currently working on making videos for different origami bases. You can see an overview on the instructions page when restricting to basic folds. It's still a work-in-progress, but I'm hoping to cover all the most common bases some time in the future.

Origami Dictionary

5 May 2009 - 10:38am — Sara

Origami has its own set of terms. While working on subtitles for my videos I looked for a resource that listed the "origami vocabulary" in different languages. I didn't find a comprehensive source, so the next best thing I could think of was - of course - create that resource myself.

Long story short, I've started an origami dictionary at http://www.happyfolding.com/dictionary. It's still quite basic, but should help already.
