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!

Origami T-Shirt

12 June 2009 - 7:42pm — 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

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.

Subtitles revisited

29 April 2009 - 7:35am — Sara

screenshotI've started looking into adding subtitles to my videos again.
I'm happy to say that I've completed English and German subtitles for my latest video, "The Last Waltz" by Neal Elias. I discovered Jubler, which is an excellent - and free - program to make subtitles.
Linda also volunteered to translate the subtitles into Arabic, and this is under way now. The first part of the video already has Arabic subtitles, exciting!

If you'd like to help out, please leave a comment or contact me. I probably already have someone for French subtitles (yey!), but all other languages are still up for grabs.
