I actually first tried Origami as a teen in the late 70s. It was going thru a surge of popularity then along with macrame’ which I tried as well. Being young and into everything, I put Origami on a shelf if you will to pick up later when I had a chance. Now is my chance..I would love to pick this beautiful hobby back up again and this Book will help me perfectly! I would love to win!!

The only thing I can make is a drinking cup. I think there’s more to Origami than a drinking cup.
I have never folded Origami but my sister does and she would LOVE this!
