I have taken on this project in a backwards fashion.

First I began building other paper toy designs and became hooked on the craft.

Secondly I began creating my own template design which in my eyes failed despite getting a great custom from another artist. I consider it a failure because I myself had absolutely no ideas for the design. I had thoughts of a different creation but I lacked the motivation to get to figuring out the build. I still have the idea in my head and hope to get to it.

Third I began customizing other templates without any design experience. I succeeded and enjoyed the experience. My only down fall there is time and ADD. The time it takes to get things just right would leave me wanting to skip out on my real job and lose focus while there. The ADD didn't help me when I had the time because I was constantly being pulled in other directions when my mind wandered.

Then I began mass building all of the templates I had accumulated and printed. My fiance is happy that I have a hobby and something that keeps me occupied, but I am certain the amount of paper toys piling up on shelves and tubs is driving her batty.

Once I had built a few hundred of these toys I decided I needed to blog my collection individualizing each build with links and artist names. All in good but I had already built about 350 toys and had to catch up.

Now here I am starting to blog about my experiences with these toys, builds, and the community.

I should have done this from the beginning. Time to do some catching up again. It should be a fun next couple of days while I go through and link all these blogs together and talk about the experiences.
