We have always enjoyed origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. All you need is a sheet of paper and there’s just something lovely about folding the paper into something different. We were delighted to be sent a copy of Fold It Calm: Simple origami to quieten your mind by Li Kim Goh.
Fold It Calm: Simple origami to quieten your mind
Li Kim Goh, known online as @kimigami, has created relaxing paper folding projects for all abilities, each illustrated with step-by-step instructions.
Fold It Calm includes all the origami techniques you need to know, plus 25 beautiful models to create. From classics such as the paper crane to the author’s own creations, including a mini cactus, these are easy projects for mindful moments.
The book even includes 50 sheets of origami paper at the back so you can get started right away!
The author, Li Kim Goh, is an illustrator, graphic designer and general maker-of-things. She has loved origami since she was a child, when her mother taught her to fold paper boats. Kim started sharing her origami videos online as a hobby, and has since gained 1.3 million followers. Finding that origami helps her to keep her mind clear and free from stress, she shares soothing videos and easy techniques so that everyone can find peace with origami.
You can follow her on YouTube and TikTok @kimigami or visit her website gohlikim.com
Fold It Calm: Simple origami to quieten your mind by Li Kim Goh is published by Ebury Publishing, priced £14.99.
