"Why Lily?"
When I was connecting the 3 folded units into a new unit (please see first comment box if you missed that yesterday), I put them aside (I had to make 20 new units) When I looked again, I saw water lilies and I just had to take this picture ;-)) Inspired by all that rain that is failing down I created this 'wet look'.
Tomorrow I will show you the end result of all these units. Some of you are getting very close in guessing what it will be ;-))
Update: intermediate step go the making of Origami Roses and Thorns, opus 754

~~Why Lily?”
“It’s the most sacred and beautiful of all flowers in Egypt. They bloom in mud and shine in the darkness like a gift from the gods to remind you that no matter how bad something is, it will get better. That no matter how dark the night, the light will come for you. If you partake of them, they have the power to calm and soothe you, and to heal your wounds.”
When he spoke his next words, they were laced with emotion and sincerity. “You are, and will always be, my Sšn***.~~
Quote - Sherrilyn Kenyon
Meaning Sšn*** (info internet)
"This name derives from the Middle Egyptian “SŠN” and then after from the Persian root “Sousan, Susan.” However, the Hebrew root for the name of the lily (from Lilium family) derives from “Šōšannā > Shôshan > Shôshannâh,” which means “lotus, lily, to be joyful, bright, or cheerful.”
