I'm back after a hiatus of several years

A few things have held me back from pursuing this hobby...back problems and eye strain being two of many reasons. But I'm back and ready to start creating more origami artwork, partially inspired by this video:


I like to think myself of having a lot of untapped potential, and seeing how a hobby I'm not half bad at is used by NASA, of all places, feels pretty cool.
I did study interior architecture for a year, and I'd be lying if I said that isn't what drove me to get into origami. Spending days on end working on a making a model out of cardboard, only to have it look like a scrapheap by the end of it, makes origami feel like a doddle.

The first project I shall be undertaking on arriving back to this hobby will be this one, made out of mini sticky labels:

I couldn't get it to link on as a video, but basically it's a very beautiful spiral type flower. It also seems to be really simple, all you need is those little sticky labels and a toothpick. I'll post the photos once I'm done with it

See you all soonly!
