Extractions: History of Origami Introduction Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, and it literally translates as ori (folding) gami (paper). It is not known where Origami first came from, but it has been a cultural tradition in Japan for many centuries. Originally, Origami meant, folded paper, but it also has many other meanings. Origami-Tsuki (with folded paper) meant authentic because connoisseurs wrote their appraisal on pieces of paper folded in half. Origami also refers to landscape pieces of paper folded in half latitudinally, on which letters and lists were written. Origami was also called Orikata or Orisue, and it came to be known as Orimono. Origami was also referred to as pieces of square paper to fold. Paper also used to be very expensive and scarce, but when paper became more available, Origami became a popular form of art. Gifts were wrapped in paper and folds were also added to represent their sincerity. Among Bushi (Samurai Warriors), folding patterns were also regarded as a part of etiquette. Folding patterns were handed down by Ogasawara School, Ise School, and Kira School.

Make Money Origami Ready to Fold by Jan When you're bored and your glance falls upon a blank sheet of paper, what do you see? Is it scrap for doodling, waste that needs tidying, or raw material for any one of a thousand different 3-dimensional sculptures? If you picked the last option, you're probably already familiar with the art of origami. This varied art has been delighting crafters for centuries with the simplest of supplies. Origami is Japanese for "folding paper"a simple name for what can be an incredibly complex art. In origami's early days, as far back as the sixth century AD, paper was an expensive item. Origami was used to fashion good luck tokens, wedding accessories for noblemen, and religious artifacts. Patterns were passed down verbally from generation to generation. As paper became less expensive, origami became a popular pastime throughout Japan. Over time, this hobby spread across the continents, until people all over the world came to learn the difference between mountain folds and valley folds as they shaped colorful squares of paper into all sorts of objects. Today, ancient traditional patterns like cranes and vases have been joined by paper interpretations of baby bottles and even Elvis.

Extractions: Paper Boxes is my business. I've been selling boxes at craft shows, festivals, and craft shops in the Pacific Northwest since early 1995. Since most people have never seen anything like origami boxes before, I have found that it helps to go to craft shows where I can repeat next month/ season/ year. That way people get used to the boxes and will consider buying one or two. I always do better the second time I show somewhere. I have also been teaching box folds at schools, stores and craft shows. I use both standard kami and a broad range of special papers, almost always 6". I buy the specialty papers by the sheet at art supply stores. Then I use a 6" lexan square as a template, and cut the large sheets down with an exacto knife on a self-healing cutting mat. Below are boxes folded from some of the papers I have been using: Patterned Kami Specialty Papers From left: Bertini, Petals, Sharkskin, and Summer Flowers. I also enjoy folding with Saiko, Gilded, Block-Printed, Harlequin Marbled, and many other papers. Sometimes I decorate plain kami with rubber stamps, occasionally even embossing the designs. See my
