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!

Books!

Check it out. I'm no 1, Robert Lang is no 3. I'm not sure that's a true representation, but I'm definitely excited about the feature!

27th CDO Convention (5-8 December 2009, Verbania Pallanza)

11 December 2009 - 8:42am — Sara

I'd heard a couple of people say that the Italian origami conventions were some of the best, and that I should really go. Sure enough, the name of the Italian origami society, Centro Diffusione Origami, is promising enough. (I think you could translate it as "Centre for Spreading Origami"). And when I found out that I'd start working in a full time position shortly after this year's convention, I decided I just had to go. Did the convention live up to my expectations? In one word: yes. In a couple more words, here are my highlights:
