Watchers

So a year of folding is up - I am incredibly proud that I started on January 1, 2011 and did my final fold on December 31 2011, not missing a day in between.

I would like to say it was always fun - those of you with a real life would realise that dedicating an hour + every day to something becomes tricky, especially when the + is many hours more, but in the end I learned a lot about myself and also, I think, increased my skill levels in an art form I love.

Looking back at the models from 2011, I am astonished I actually achieved some of them, certainly there are models at the end of the year that I could not have done prior to the challenge.

Those observant ones will notice I am still folding - difficult to stop really given how many amazing models are out there - the one a day pressure gone, I now fold when I feel like it (which, interestingly, is quite often).

I am happy to reply to your comments, hope you enjoy the artworks I make but do not, generally, comment for +Favs that have no accompanying comment, sorry.

I just practice, have been folding since I was 11, on and off - certainly my skill level in the last year has skyrocketed because I did a different model every day for a year in 2011

That's awesome. i started in the third grade my self. but i don't have many things to practice on. It was my Great Uncle who taught me. It's still one of my favorite pasttimes, though I haven't folded for a while.
