Among the arts that I am puzzling at giving a try to are the paper arts: specifically origami, and paper cutting. The end result would always be something I fragrance and burn, making it all essentially another sand mandala: I’d spend possibly hours of effort making it only to let it blow away in the wind. Really, it’s a quite beautiful exercise once you get used to it: it all keeps you busy staying in the process of creating.
I also found out that paper cutting is a traditional Polish art form, and it is gorgeous. Maybe I’ll finally learn to cut a straight line. I’m hopeful!
