Golden Venture Origami:

Did you know there are several types of origami? Golden Venture origami uses multiple pieces of paper to create three-dimensional freestanding sculptures. This was new to me. I love it and I hope you will too.

  6. I am so glad you introduced me to Golden Venture Origami because it’s absolutely beautiful. I could never do it because I don’t have the patience, but I sure do appreciate the talents of those who can create those gorgeous pieces of art.
