You Might Be An Artist If...
Think you're not an artist? You might be surprised. Does anything in this list sound familiar? |

(Okay, maybe this only means you're a little obsessed, but aren't most artists obsessed with their art?)
And the clincher:

For me, the attraction of origami is the geometry and the transformation of the paper from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.
Then I began doing workshops at our local specialty art-supply store, Artist and Display, where I had purchased origami paper for many years.
By spending more time there, I began getting acquainted with many local artists and gaining more exposure to their work and materials.
I discovered I really like artists. Artists are fun to hang out with. You'll rarely hear terms like "shareholder value," "return on investment," or "speed to market" when you talk to artists. They come from a happier, more beautiful place.
The really great and amazing thing is that they welcomed me as a fellow artist. They taught me that what I do is art and that it's worthy of being shared and displayed.
Consider joining your local art guild. You'll make a bunch of interesting, new friends and maybe discover new techniques and materials you can incorporate into your folding.
