Welcome and thank you for being here
This blog, One Love Origami, is a quiet archive of my long relationship with paper - folding, teaching, experimenting, and exploring origami as both a creative practice and a mindful one.
You’ll find photographs of past work, reflections on process, and examples of how simple materials - paper, time and attention, can become tools for learning, connection, and care.
About the work
My approach to origami is not about perfection or complexity.
It is about:
* presence over performance
* curiosity over mastery
* process over product
I am especially interested in how origami can support:
* community learning spaces such as libraries and classrooms
* inter-generational creativity
* mindfulness, emotional regulation, and gentle focus
* storytelling through making
Much of the work shared here has been created for workshops, public programs, quiet personal practice, or collaborative community settings. It has been shared in libraries, classrooms, and community spaces as a way to invite mindful making and shared creativity.
This blog functions as an archive and visual reference rather than a frequently updated journal.
Some posts are recent; others reach back many years. Together, they reflect an evolving practice rooted in care, slowness, and accessibility.
You might enjoy browsing posts by image, or starting with earlier entries to see how ideas and forms evolve over time.
If you are here following a library presentation or community event, you are warmly invited to browse at your own pace. There is no particular order — follow images, titles, or your curiosity.
Using this work
Unless otherwise noted, images and ideas here are shared for inspiration and educational purposes.
If you are a librarian, educator, or program coordinator interested in adapting similar activities for your own space, please feel welcome to do so with credit.
If you would like to discuss workshops, talks, or collaborative programs, this blog offers a sense of the tone and approach I bring to those spaces.
Origami asks very little of us:
one square of paper,
two hands,
and a willingness to begin imperfectly.
May you find something here that encourages curiosity, calm, or quiet joy.
- Tara
