The Danish star — also known as the Froebel star — is a folded paper ornament cherished across Northern Europe. My Danish grandmother introduced them to me, and they quickly became more than decoration. They are a direct link to my heritage — a craft that feels like home, even generations later.

What began as a way to honor that heritage became a practice I return to again and again — slowing down, working with my hands, and creating pieces meant to be kept, not consumed. Each fold connects me to those before me who valued simplicity, beauty, and meaning in the things they made.
