    Fun fact: when paper sculpting involves cutting as well as folding, it’s called kirigami. Origami is folding and folding only.

      Oh interesting Resa!! I’m definitely not familiar with kirigami so that’s cool to know! 🙂

    These Origami (or kirigami 🙂 ) trees are absolutely adorable. How cool would it be to decorate an entire tree with them? I guess I better get folding!
