A vase of origami flowers
What prompted me to start doing origami some years ago was the legend about a wish granted after folding one thousand paper cranes. For that I bought a cube of one thousand small paper squares, and started folding. Soon I had filled a big glass jar with all these tiny origami cranes, but I was nowhere near folding them all.
Then, feeling overwhelmed with all the objects I had, I threw away both the paper and the cranes in my cleaning haze. But, I didn't quite give up on the thought about folding those one thousand paper cranes. Instead, I started using every opportunity where I was given some piece of paper, to fold one. The paper of receipts is especially good for it, but also the wrapping paper of sweets and chocolates. My thought is that, that I know of it or not, I will reach those one thousand origami, and they will not be in my room but everywhere through the places I visited.
Now, origami folding can be counted as one of my hobbies, and I have a small collection of paper with different prints for it. Most of the time I use them to decorate or to make gifts, like the vase of origami flowers in the photo, which was a gift for my sister and that I scented with orange flower perfumed oil. Although, still, the only origami that I can fold from memory is the crane.
