If you buy things to any extent, you’ve probably got some leftover packaging hanging around. What are some cool ways you’ve found to make use of all these materials? Special props to ideas that can be replicated!
Yes, I feel the same way. Half of my family does Origami, and I joke that my brain didn’t get that spatial bit. I mean eye measurements, goal! I can do that. Folding paper, yeah okay I can do that. Something gets lost along the way reading those diagrams though, it kind of feels like those old art examples where you followed along and it jumps up too far. Meanwhile I get photos of crazy stuff my folks have made, all these intricate and interwoven patterns. Just sitting around. In fact, when we get together - same thing. Just sitting there making insane things that are just manifesting from their mind to paper. I think it’s insane! I like to keep the mysticism of life though, and some things I like to just think of as witchcraft. It makes me happy that way =)!
