Mental health origami. This is a kusudama, or flower ball, made of 30 small-and-simple shapes called sonobe modules that can be inserted into each other to make large 3D shapes.
Sonobe variation designed by Andriy Hechuev. The normal sonobe is fairly plain-looking, but this one is really delightfully curved. And easier to assemble. Really, really like how this one came out, I'll need to hang it somewhere in the home.

So, hung out with a friend for Crimmus Eve, and brought with me some stuff that I first started working on just before last christmas.
Finally finished it, I've made similar before, but smaller. Have a lovely, big, blue, round Kusudama.
30 pieces, only connection not able to pull of is the very last one, but that's always a problem.
I'm surprised I never made the smaller ones into ornaments.

Interesting article by Xavier from Archéo'Japon, overviewing the history and beliefs surrounding May 5th Kodomo no hi 子供の日 (children's day) / Tango no Sekku 端午の節句 (Japanese take on Duanwu festival) traditions.
Original article is in French but really worth a read through auto-translate if you wish to learn more about the origins of some of the Kodomo no hi rituals :)

I know I said I'd post my origami paper collection last week but things got busy. Heh. Anyways, here it is plus some current pieces I've worked on.
My unit origami.
As I mentioned once, I build these as a form of self-care. I discovered as a child, the repetitive motions to make each unit is very therapeutic, and gives me a sense of control over something, however small, amid chaos or stressful situations. After completion, they give me a feeling of satisfaction seeing that my anxiety doesn't have to be self-destructive. But of course, I don't make them only when I'm down, I make them out of boredom too. They're a form of brain teasers, especially when I'm making a new variation.
This isn't even it's final form!
No, really, I got issues with hoarding various art supplies, paper is no exception. I have these three shoeboxes plus a metal cabinet filled with paper. But I have a legit excuse for so much. I live rural, so I can't afford to go into town all the time for art stuff, so I buy bulk from an office store that's the main supplier of stationery in my area. The next one is over an hour and a half away down the mountain!. Also buying bulk is cheaper. I get those wishing star papers and mini sized boxed papers for 50 cents each in a five pack. Buying individually, they're a dollar a piece. A lot of it I bought under $3, though the module kits and larger sized washi paper were $7.
My current favorite new papers are these Sanrio ones, as well Pokemon and Cardcaptor paper. These are hard to find at that store, as they're New Old Stock.
