Artcrafters Fine Art and Craft Show

The best crafts come out of hobbies that we like doing the most. I won't be able to come out with good output if what I am doing is not what I want. Passion differentiates a work of art from a simple craft.

In Naples, a craft show was organized to show off local artists and their beloved works. It is called the Artcrafters Fine Art and Craft Show.

Origami horses are fun to make

I tried to follow written directions for folding origami paper into a paper horse and failed. I tried to have someone explain it to me, but still couldn't get it.

With this easy video, I finally accomplished my folding treasure. I have since perfected my technique and now I don't have to watch the video any more. Watching a video of origami instructions is way simpler than reading them.
