day 7 - education

"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." 
- John Dewey

Education isn't only something we receive - it's something we participate in. 

Every fold teaches me what works and what doesn't. 

This dictionary owl is a friendly figure who sits on my desk. He reminds me that the purpose of lifelong learning is not self-judgement, which makes me stop asking questions. 

Rather, when knowledge is my companion, something gentler happens. Education becomes an invitation to develop understanding through experience.

Today I'm practicing education by staying curious, letting both mistakes and joy inform my origami choices.

origami moon magic

Origami has always felt like magic to me.

It's transformative - like alchemy, it changes basic materials into something amazing!

I folded these models from 3" papers, combined them and added a pin to the back. 

I don't seal my creations. I embrace the surprisingly sturdy, yet ephemeral qualities of paper, and avoid toxic chemicals like the plague.

This pin usually lives on my jean jacket around Halloween, but I figured, we could all use a little magic right about now.
