This box has four modules that join together to make a really sturdy structure in the end. It’s pretty tough to figure out how to get the last piece in, though, and you have to manhandle it a bit to make it happen. Pretty nerve-wracking process…

These two little triangle trays can be used separately or can fit into the modular box (provided you size them correctly, which I did not.)
The blue tray was just a smidge too big, so now even though they both fit into the box, it skews the box a bit…oh well!

Yesterday’s project was taken from Tomoko Fuse’s book “Joyful Origami Boxes,” and let me tell you now that the process of making these was slightly less than joyful. It was more in the range of extremely irritating, actually. I’ll complain more later, though – too busy today.

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
