The pandemic has been an inflexion point for many, giving them the mental space to revive old passions, sometimes dusting off an old hobby or rejuvenating an old skill that had all but atrophied.
Adyar resident Priya Subramaniam can relate to that. For her, a fascination for paper crafts began with an exposure to origami at school, Rosary Matriculation School in Santhome. She was sold on the idea of creating snowflakes and flowers with nothing but paper. She would turn her hand at paper quilling and paper cutting, but that was about it, the interest and aptitude were stunted, not reaching its potential, until the pandemic happened, when it bloomed afresh and big. It has only gotten bigger since then.
