FOLDING, UNFOLDING, ENFOLDING

Box of Autumn by Eva of Tinctory. See blog here.

I read of someone writing poems on handmade paper, folding them into origami cranes and leaving them all over London, to brighten someone's day.

From origami cranes I pondered over writing a blog post about folding paper .... or fabric .... canvas or metal. I thought of folding dog ears in a book to keep one's place .... and unfolding. My thoughts inevitably wandered over to wrapping, unwrapping, folding, enfolding...... Thus, this post was born :-)

MAGIC AND GOOD MADNESS TO YOU

Found Reference by Cara Barer. See website here.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." - Neil Gaiman
