Another beautiful rose abstraction by Kawasaki is this tubular-like Rose Bud. Instead of folding the bottom inwards, it is now used to create leaves /calix.
An additional effect is that this rose stays perfectly. Another nice table decoration ;-))
I folded it with double colored red/green kamipaper, 15x15cm. Final size: height 3cm, with the leaves/calix 4x4cm
Model: origami Rose's Bud

This Rose is a close relative of the previous origami Rose's Bud (both designed by Toshikazu Kawasaki).
The folding sequence is slightly different , therefor this rose is higher, the calix is smaller and there is an opening at the bottom, so that it can be placed on the stem of the Rose Base.
I made a photo to show you the difference between these two roses.
Paper:
Rose-tubular: double colored red/green kamipaper, 15x15cm.
Final size: height 4cm, with the leaves/calix 3,5x3,5cm
Rose base: one piece of green kamipaper, 15x15cm
Final size: bottom 5,5x5,5cm

Simili modo postquam coenatus est, accepit calicem in manus suas, benedixit, deditque discipulis suis dicens:
“Accipite et bibite ex eo omnes. Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei; Novi et Aeterni Testamenti, ministerium fidei, qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.
Haec quotiescumque feceritis in mei memoriam facietis.”

I prefer red bell peppers in my salad because... they are sweeter and have 11 times more beta-carotene, twice as much vitamin C and 10 times more vitamin A than green peppers.

As the nation commemorates the centenary of the end of the First World War, a new installation at the Tower of London, Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers will fill the moat with thousands of individual flames: a public act of remembrance for the lives of the fallen, honouring their sacrifice.
This new artistic tribute by Designer Tom Piper and Sound Artist Mira Calix will run for eight nights, leading up to and including Armistice Day 2018. The installation also brings together the work of Creative Director Deborah Shaw, Lighting Designer Phil Supple, Staging and Movement Anna Morrissey and Flames and Mist Effect Mike Jones.
Calix just can not quite understand why living souls do not like his presence... Though, he doesn't mind. Their bones are better friends anyway.

Been quiet for a while here. I've had a few MOCs sitting around that just haven't gotten posted, and I wasn't about to let another birthday and Bionicle Day (happy 8/10!) pass without posting my new self-MOC.
This is Vilda Mitsuri, a Dasaka of the Kentoku Archipelago. If none of that sounds familiar, it's because she's a character that began in the BZPRPG. Dasaka are similar to Toa in this feudal Japan inspired society, with specialized psionic abilities. Like many of the Vilda clan, Mitsuri has honed her Willhammer abilities in order to communicate with the various endangered species of the Kentoku Archipelago in an effort to preserve them. By her side is her loyal Sakl bird, Shinku, who has been by her side since she was young. She is able to connect with her bird over long distances and see through its eyes for use as a scout.
Typically her mask of choice is a pale Hau, but when it was shattered in the Rahkshi attack that also killed her partner, she took her partner's blue Calix, a mask crafted in the style of the Dasaka from gold and crystal, in order to preserve her life as she was trapped in the rubble for days.
More pictures and details coming soon!

Night scene - The Tower of London
Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers was an artistic installation at the Tower of London in November 2018, to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War.
Each evening in the week before Remembrance Day, 10,000 torches were lit in the moat of the tower, after an opening ceremony of a bugle call, minute of silence and reveille. The torches remained lit for several hours while loudspeakers broadcast a soundscape composed by Mira Calix, based on a sonnet written by nurse Mary Borden to a British officer at the Somme. The event was conceived by Tom Piper and directed by Anna Morrissey.
The installation was similar to Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, an installation of poppies at the Tower which commemorated the start of the war. That was so popular that crowd control measures were organised to control the large number of spectators. - Wikipedia.
Abutilon x hybridum (Abutilon hybridum) are cultigens, not occurring in the wild. Cultivars produced by hybridising some of the South American abutilons have all been placed in one group known as Abutilon x hybridum.
Abutilon x hybridum is a popular group of hybrids that are semi-tropical, frost-tender shrubs typically growing up to 2-3m (6-10 feet) tall in zones where can be left in the ground year-round. It is an evergreen shrubs with attractive maple-like leaves and an open, pendulous habit.
Description: Abutilon hybridum is the name given to a group of hybrids of mixed parentage.
The common name ‘Flowering Maple’ cames from the shape of its broad, five-lobed leaves, but it is not a true maple. It is more closely related to the Alcea species (hollyhock) and to the weed known as Abutilon theophrasti (velvet leaf).
There are many named varieties of Abutilon hybridum, which can grow up to 1.5m (5 feet) spread and can start to flower while very young. The pendent blooms are usually about 5cm (2 inch) long and bell shaped with prominent orange or yellow stamens and pale green calix (the papery, bract like growth that protects the unopened flower bud).
When given good light and proper care, Abutilon hybridum is producing papery blossoms on drooping stems nearly year-round. Flowers may be red, yellow, pink, orange or peach, depending on variety. Some varieties feature leaves mottled with yellow, but the strongest growers have solid green leaves.
If any of you follow my DeviantArt, you might have seen this piece... oh, almost three years ago. A character intended to be one of my first in the BZPRPG, a member of a psionic clan of wildlife conservationists with her companion Sakl bird, Shinku. I quickly became very attached to Mitsuri's character, using her own loss of her partner and the one whose mask she wears to process my own grief and find ways to continue moving forward in a dark time. And as I began MOCing her, she became... less of a standard MOC and more of an art project that exhibits my style through her blend of pieces old and new, System and Bionicle, Lego and not. I feel there is no build that shows my growth as a person and as an artist better than her, and it was really an easy decision to make her my new self-MOC, as Onuku... no longer fits.
Normandy is a region of northern France. Its varied coastline includes white-chalk cliffs and WWII beachheads, including Omaha Beach, site of the famous D-Day landing. Just off the coast, the rocky island of Mont-Saint-Michel is topped by a soaring Gothic abbey. The city of Rouen, dominated by Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, is where military leader and Catholic saint Joan of Arc was executed in 1431. (Wikipedia)
Normandy’s other world-famous date is June 1944, when the Allies launched their attack on the Landing Beaches. The events are commemorated today and the area around that particular piece of coast is full of museums and memorials, telling the story. (www.tripsavvy.com/normandy-region-of-france-3863169)

Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ) is a Christian feast in honour of the Holy Eucharist. It was originally assigned to the Thursday following Trinity Sunday, thereby mirroring Holy Thursday, the Thursday of Holy Week, the day on which Christians commemorate The Last Supper of Jesus Christ and his apostles, seen as the first Holy Eucharist. Many English-speaking countries celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi on the Sunday after Trinity Sunday — on the Sunday after the traditional Thursday celebration in other countries. It is customary on this day, after Mass, to hold processions (often outdoors) with the Host followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Corpus Christi is primarily celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church but it is also included in the calendar of a few Anglican churches, most notably the Church of England. Anglo-Catholic parishes in other countries observe it unofficially. In Roman Catholic parishes that use the Mass of Paul VI, the feast is known as "the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ". In the Church of England it is known as The Day of Thanksgiving for the Institution of Holy Communion (Corpus Christi) and has the status of a Festival. It is also celebrated by the Old Catholic Church and by some Western Rite Orthodox Christians, and is commemorated in the liturgical calendars of the more Latinized Eastern Catholic Churches.
Corpus Christi (latim para Corpo de Cristo) é uma festa móvel da Igreja Católica que celebra a presença real e substancial de Cristo na Eucaristia.
É celebrada na quinta-feira após a Festa da Santíssima Trindade, que acontece no domingo depois de Pentecostes. É uma festa de 'preceito', isto é, para os católicos é de comparecimento obrigatório assistir à Missa neste dia, na forma estabelecida pela Conferência Episcopal do país respectivo.
A procissão pelas vias públicas, quando é feita, atende a uma recomendação do Código Canônico (art. 944) que determina ao Bispo diocesano que a providencie, onde for possível, "para testemunhar publicamente a veneração para com a santíssima Eucaristia, principalmente na solenidade do Corpo e Sangue de Cristo." É recomendado que nestas datas, a não ser por causa grave e urgente, não se ausente da diocese o Bispo (art. 395).
A origem da Solenidade do Corpo e Sangue de Cristo remonta ao Século XIII. A Santa Igreja sentiu necessidade de realçar a presença real do "Cristo todo" no pão consagrado. A Festa de Corpus Christi foi instituída pelo Papa Urbano IV com a Bula ‘Transiturus’ de 11 de agosto de 1264, para ser celebrada na quinta-feira após a Festa da Santíssima Trindade, que acontece no domingo depois de Pentecostes.
O ofício foi composto por São Tomás de Aquino o qual, por amor à tradição litúrgica, serviu-se em parte de Antífonas, Lições e Responsórios já em uso em algumas Igrejas

Never quite content with the cushy life of a Matoran princess of Kordak Nui's Steppe villages, Boju proved to possess remarkable leader qualities when Dark Hunters invaded her home, proving her worthy of becoming Kojol's Toa Hagah of Air, alongside Toa Onuku.
Ever since I concepted this team, I've imagined Onuku created intricate staves for everyone... and what better for a Toa of Air than Aang's glider staff. Certainly a challenge to pull off... in no small measure to putting the tissue paper in... and this one isn't quite perfect either.
