Modular Origami and Crochet Creations!

Over the past year, I have developed an interest in crochet. At first, it started out with dodgy attempts trying to crochet something special, but in time and with a great deal of practice, I have managed to create some cool things! In addition, I also learnt modular origami that can be used to produce some great models!

After a stressful period of writing essays and revising for an exam, I happened upon this rainbow on my way home. It is ever so faint, but if you look carefully through the grey clouds, you can spot it.
Tip for life: always look for the rainbow through the grey clouds!
