Sounds like the kind of story many grandparents would tell . <| sep |> I ' d probably go Tate . Stafford will be looking to the slot a lot today . <| sep |> I ' ve been folding for about 20 years now . In that time I ' ve taken up a number of crafting hobbies , such as chainmail , illustration , and book binding . Usually I fall into a new hobby for a while and it becomes my main focus , but when the novelty has worn off I go back to folding . Origami doesn ' t have to be allconsuming , but it ' s a great hobby to fall back on and there ' s always something new to try and discover . When I was younger I didn ' t care about materials very much . This year I started making MC tissue and tissue foil and it ' s made the hobby new and exciting for me again . In the future I might decide to explore modulars more , or tessellations , or boxes . Maybe I ' ll develop an interest in designing action models . Who knows ? There ' s always room to explore and innovate . I could bring my chainmail knowledge into tessellations to make something totally rad . I could start using my illustration skills for painting my papers . I could see what applications MC tissue has in book binding . In the end the goal is to be the kind of artist you want to be , and there ' s lots of ways to do that . Your journey might take you away from origami for a while . That ' s okay . Maybe you ' ll use your origami skills to change the next hobby you try .
