Wordless Wednesday #12 (Chiyogami Paper Stash)

I am a paper hoarder.  Yes, you heard me right.  I like to collect gorgeous prints, but then I hate using them for projects since it means that they will no longer exist in their original form.  I always have this unsupported fear of screwing up a project and wasting this pretty (and expensive) paper.  Sometimes, I wish I could forgo creating at all in order to plaster the walls of my apartment in chiyogami prints!  (Even though J. might have a few objections about that...)

I decided to show off some of my stash since I had some questions about prints that I own, but are unavailable in the shop at the moment.  These are all being used in an upcoming series of dolls and bookmarks that I hope to finish next week.  The colors remind me of a tropical island.

Aruba, Jamaica, ooo I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, Come on pretty mama!  Okay, enough of that...  Happy Wordless Wednesday everyone!

I am a paper hoarder too! Love what you're doing with origami. Your introduction to origami sounds very similar to my own. Little did I know that I'd be still folding cranes all these years later.
