Relax and Unwind

Creating beautiful paper sculptures with just your hands is an ancient art form that focuses the mind and promotes a sense of wellbeing. It’s also a craft that means you have something gorgeous when you’ve finished. Perfectly Mindful Origami have brought out The Origami Garden with 32 pages of origami paper so you can try these mindful projects for yourself. The book divides into sections on seeds and plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables, and garden life and you can choose from classic lilies to strawberries or birds and butterflies. PerfectlyMindfulOrigami:TheOrigamiGarden by Mark Bolitho and published by Jacqui Small, £14.99, is available from WWW.QUARTOKNOWS.COM/SERIES/1005/PERFECTLY-MINDFUL-ORIGAMI/.
