Folding paper with dirty hands is so much fun. I am sure this is going to be a thing with me. There are several ways that I am considering exploring this process.
Notice that the background has smudges. I did my folding with two pieces of paper. One to fold and one on the table. In the process of folding the paper on the table became smudged. It looks more like a drawing when the two pieces of paper are photographed together.

I have Complete Pleats written by Paul Jackson. On page 159 there is a beautiful round pleated box designed by Philip Campbel-Bell. I have tryed to make it before and thought I would give it another try. To my surprise it worked out beautifully.
I read once on an origami page to always wash your hands. Then this morning as I was considering what to fold it occurred to me that dirty hands might just make folding more visual.

Boths sides of the paper turned out very different. I enjoyed discovering that dome areas on the back of the paper stayed completely clean throughout the process.
