My fav Quote
"The woods are lovely dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

Here is picture of myself at work i.e. cutting Notre Dame Cathedral Kirigami Popup Greeting Card.
Recently I visited Oriland website (http://www.oriland.com) and I was so much impressed by the work of its creator that I decided to try my hands on Origami.
Previously I worked with Paper Craft, Kirigami and now Origami. For those who don't know what these are :
Paper Craft : Creating stuffs from Paper with the help of scissor, glue and other craft materials. You can make real life replicas with papercraft. There is virtually no limitation.
Kirigami: In this art of paper, Designs are created by folding and Cutting Paper. No Glue is used. There are some beautiful designs which are made using Kirigami.The Notre Dame Cathedral I made was work of Kirigami (Notre Dame Cathedral Kirigami Model)
Origami: In this art of Paper, Designs are created by Folding Square or Rectangle paper. No cutting, glueing or any printing is involved.
The Creator of Oriland Website Yuri and Katrin Shumakov have created lots of beautiful designs.
There designs are available for purchase (you will get instruction sheets). They are easy to understand and anyone can create nice origami models with them. I have purchased three ebooks from them and am making some origami models. Here is sample:
Recently I purchased Alvin Self Healing Cutting Mat from Global E-Bay. It costed me Rs. 1760 ($35) which included the shipping cost and customs duties also. The actual cost of a cutting mat can be less but its not easily available in India as people do not consider Paper Craft as a hobby or even don't understand it.
I ordered it on 26th August and got it on 8th September 2010, that is a very fast delivery as I was expecting around 30 days to ship it to me.
The Cutting Mat I ordered was of 12"X18" Size and it is really of very good quality. Previously I was using glass as base for all my cutting work but by using glass as base material I need to use a lot of force for cutting, it was risky and blades sharpness wears out very quickly.
Now after using This cutting Mat for more than 15 days I can say that the money spent was worth. It helped me in increasing my cutting speed with less sprain on my hands. I am loving it.
