I have finished my dot plate and a few other things, but I'm still waiting for the pictures from my brother so that will come later.. hopefully :D

I got back from Korea a few weeks ago and while I was there I made a card for my friend's aunt's birthday. It was pretty and took hours so I thought I would update and share a few pictures of it!
It is

omg, that looks amazing! I love art myself, but I don't know anything about origami, so I'm in awe of your skills and absolutely love how you did this. I'm sure your friend's aunt will love it too! <3

it's not that hard, just time consuming. you should give it a try! It's a great way to practice being precise.

She was very impressed haha. comments and compliments are always a confidence booster lol. thanks for reading ^^
