Hello Everyone!
I’m Ancella Simoes and I update the Origamiancy blog on a regular basis to share various origami designs and instructional videos, that I have either recorded or stumbled upon on the Internet; and which I have found really helpful to me. Also included in this site are suggestions and tips to make folding these models easier and other decorative ideas.
I fell under the spell of Origami January 2008 and have come to love folding new models and designs, so much so that it is now one of my favorite pastimes! Generally, I look up diagrams on the Internet, but I also own a few, very good, origami books, which come in real handy. You can view my origami book collection in the Origami Books section.
I started this website in October 2008, after much persuasion, with a view to sharing ideas and helping others with the art of origami. Most of the models I have written about are designed by some of the well-known Origamists – Tomoko Fuse, David Brill, John Montroll and Robert Lang, etc – and are mostly intermediate on the ‘complexity scale’. I am yet to try out advanced origami models, especially some of those by Robert Lang and Michael LaFosse. This I hope, I will be able to accomplish in the near future 
I also have a YouTube.com channel which I invite you to subscribe to, if you would like – YouTube.com/Origamiancy
