Browsing an antiquarian store years ago in Amsterdam I came across a bundle of paper cuttings. In a flashback I was standing next to my grandma, barely reaching up to her knees, watching her using scissors & seemingly cutting randomly into a folded piece of paper. Then the magic moment of wonder & surprise of slow unfolding. a lace pattern, rosettes. windows. flowers. swirls & stories. Folding paper is easier to learn, & offers the same kind of surprise & excited satisfaction of accomplishment. Colored papers folded & twisted turn into fish, shells & classic boats. Nautigami: a wonderful addition to our collection of fun craft boxes.
