INTRODUCTION
Whenever somebody finds out I enjoy origami, they always want
to know how I started. Well, it’s a long story…
After spilling water on a “Draw your own cartoons” book, my father
had to replace it. He couldn’t find another such book and thought
“Paper Toys” by Toshie Takahama would be a good substitute. I
wouldn’t know the difference, I mean, I was only about ten years
old! This was in 1987. Knowing better than to argue or complain,
I thought I’d try some of the paper folding. I was soon hooked
and my dad bought me Robert Harbin’s “Teach Yourself Origami”,
of which I shortly had several models memorized. Then I got
Eric Kenneway’s “Origami from A to Z”. I never met anybody else
interested in origami and even my friends didn’t catch onto it. I
tried my best. So my origami was all self-taught.
There were no more books to buy in the bookshops, and folding
the same models over and over got a bit boring. A few years later
my brother’s visiting friend saw me attempting a model, and
taught me how to fold a wonderful Husky Dog. His parents had
bought Robert Harbin’s “Secrets of Origami: The Japanese Art
of Paperfolding” in Germany a few years before. I had to have it,
but it was not purchasable in South Africa (even though Robert
Harbin was born in South Africa!) So I did what the wrong thing is
to do and copied the book from my brother’s friend.
During my high school career, origami didn’t exist in my life. There
was sport, girls and of course trying to achieve the right grades to
go to University. After school I joined the South African National
Defense Force. Still no origami. In 1996, internet reached our
home and my brother wanted to buy me a book from Amazon.
com for my birthday. He thought he was cool, because he was
the only computer literate family member. Anyway, I was not big
on reading and didn’t have any idea of a book to order. Eventually
I decided to replace my copy of Harbin’s book with the real thing.
So my brother ordered “Secrets of Origami: The Japanese Art of
Paperfolding” for me.
And I guess that’s where it all began, with the internet. After
seeing a photo of John Montroll’s Skunk on the net, I thought it
to be impossible. After all, I was still used to the 1970’s designs in
Harbin’s books. As it was so easy to order books over the internet,
I decided to check out Montroll’s “Origami Inside-Out”. And it
was true. One uncut square to fold the Skunk! Unbelievable! My
Origami book collection grew quickly, and instead of studying
Physiotherapy subjects, I was spending a lot of time folding as
many origami models as possible. Soon thereafter I had folded all
the complex models from Lang’s “Origami Insects and their Kin.”
But designing your own models is different. Not easy at all! Try
and try again (it sounds like something a teacher would say!)
My first original design was a Christmas Tree in 1998. Now I hardly
spend any time folding other creators’ models. I try to design as
many new and original models as possible.
I hope you enjoy them!
