Her instructions were clear and patient, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the craft without feeling rushed.
As I wove my first paper heart, I was struck by the meditative quality of the activity. The rhythmic folding and weaving of the paper was both calming and satisfying, a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
