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

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

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

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.
