My dad gave me my first book of origami as a child – with a strong artistic streak and a lot of time. He had taken me to the Museum of Natural History in NYC and there we saw the famous Origami Christmas Tree with pieces from all around the world and I was fascinated.

Many years later, after that artistic child relentlessly pursued every conceivable medium from oil painting to film making, she took up origami again to fashion a mobile for a friend expecting her first child. "You should sell these!" was her firm opinion once she caught her breath again.

And here we both are today :) I'm still making origami and perhaps you are interested in one for your home or a gift. Customers have purchased them for all sorts of occasions and from time to time write to me to tell me of their destination. From first wedding anniversaries (which are "paper" hint hint) to house warming gifts, yoga studios, pediatric offices and retirement homes... I've been blessed to hear my craft/work being enjoyed and bringing peace to people all around the world. Most migrate to nurseries and it is a very special honor to create something for so precious a purpose, to think of my work floating softly above the next generation of little ones – making them smile, sleep and maybe dream of adventures and lands they will one day see.

I am very excited to announce a new series of adorable journals... Each covered in vintage travel books or nature guides and bound with a coordinating grosgrain ribbon.

Also, I will soon be adding a new ongoing collection of one-of-a-kind collage wall hangings mostly from vintage children's books, cooking books and geographic books. So stop back often or even better... follow Gin & Rummy online to catch all the upcoming news!
