What do you get when you combine paper and butterflies together? You get butterfly origami.
Origami is the art of paper folding. I love origami. My first introduction to origami, as may be the case with a lot of kids, was through folding a paper crane. Who knew that you can transform a flat piece of paper, into a beautiful 3-dimensional object?

A few years ago, at an Origami Society of Toronto meeting, I learned how to fold a butterfly. To learn how to fold more butterflies, they recommended the book Michael LaFosse's Origami Butterflies: Elegant Designs from a Master Folder. Inspired by the butterfly that I just folded, I bought the book. This instructional book is visually beautiful, and also comes with DVDs for audio-visual instructions. I haven't yet learned how to fold every butterfly in the book, but it's a nice goal to work towards!
Happy folding!
