I am constantly creating origami animals, usually young and cute ones, of air, land or water.

The aim is to evoke affection-giving thru the love of Nature and her creatures. A design must be detailed enough to capture the essence but not too complicated so as to make folding entertaining and pleasurable.

The ultimate goal is to fully express the poetry of beauty, grace and love. The model must be heart-melting, above any other features and consideration.

Model(s) in the photo is actual origami of my own creation, except where noted. The graphic layout is to add interest to the subject matter and ambience.
