Instead of spending money you can also decide to fold with it and that's what I did ;-) A little goodby-present for a colleague, who is leaving to start a new job.

If you want to try origami money-folding, you can find several models on youtube. Have fun!

The Origami Iris (also called an origami lily) is a traditional design loved by many. You have two versions:

- One folded from a square, then you get 4 petals ( the one on the left).

- Or one folded from an equilateral triangle, then you get 3 petals ( the one on the right.)

You can curl the petals ;-)) I put them on a mirror so you can see the curls better.

Have a nice Wednesday :-))

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

Quote – Vincent Van Gogh

“Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself.”

Quote – L. Wolfe Gilbert

I couldn't choice between the two quotes…….do you have a favorite?

For the "Smile on Saturday! :-)" theme: 'Colorful Hearts', I folded from just one piece of double colored paper this golden heart with a red iris on top of it. ;-))

Wishing you many happy smiles today, they say it is good for your health ;-)) HSoS!!!

Model: Origami Heart with Iris

Design: Andrey Lukyanov

Diagrams in the book International Origami Internet Olympiad 2012

Paper, one piece of 30x30cm double colored kraftpaper

Final size: height 9cm , width 10,5cm

For my new folding project I have to fold modules, which will be connected. These modules remind me of eyes. These two were lying in the sun and I could not resist making this shot of these origami eyes;-))

Another variation of the unit and 'Star-Flower', I uploaded yesterday (see first comment box).

Each of these red-white origami Star-Flowers is made out of 8 units, but arranged differently.

The size of one unit is now 4x4cm, red kami paper.

Final size star is 9x9cm.

I really don't know anymore on what occasion I folded it and if there are any diagrams. Sorry for that.

For Macro Mondays the theme is Geometry Shapes. HMM

Thanks textures JennyW47

One of the good thing of moving is going through your old stuff to see if you want to keep it of not. To my surprise I found a few origami starflowers (in a not origami book) from the very beginning when I started folding. ;-))

On the left you see one unit. On the right you see an assembled 'Star-Flower' of 11 units, with a color change.

All units are folded from a small piece of blue kamipaper (2,5x2,5cm). Final size 'Star-flower' 5,5x5,5cm.

I really don't know anymore on what occasion I folded it and if there are any diagrams. Sorry for that.

The last model in the origami Star-Flower recovered series. Actually this one is made out of two: a small blue (8 units, each 2x2cm, blue kami paper) stuck on a larger one (also 8 units, each 4x4cm, green kamipaper).

In the first comment box, you see the two previous variations.

(I really don't know anymore on what occasion I folded it and if there are any diagrams. Sorry for that.)

As background I used a patterned origami-paper and added a texture.

Have a lovely weekend ahead ;-)

for MACRO MONDAYS

Theme : "Triangle" - January 13, 2020

for *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ*

Theme : "One colour" - January 15, 2020

Of course I had to make an origami mushroom ;-)

Using the "paper-crumpling" technic by Vincent Floderer, who is famous for using this technique and designing many ingenious models, especially sea creatures.

While you might argue whether it's still origami or not, it is definitely an interesting technique.

Wishing you all a very happy weekend!

A short interruption of my ice-series, because it also Carnival this weekend. And for those who celebrate it, I folded these a pair of twin witch-ladies, a day and a night version ;-))

Model: origami Witch Mask

Design by Komatsu Hideo

Diagrams in Tanteidan Magazin 148.

I used red/black duo-color paper, 18x18cm.

Final height 9cm.

"This little witch with her magic broom, which makes the cleaning up after the Halloween Party a lot easier, (it took her only 5 minutes!!) is on her way back home. She looks a little bit tried, but is also very satisfied the job is done!

I wish I had a broom like that too…….. " ;-))

Name: Origami Witch

Design: Kamikey ( please correct me if I'm wrong)

There is a video-tutorial in three parts, so you can try to fold it too, if you want ;-))

Folded from 3 pieces of paper:

-one sheet of black kami-paper (15x15cm) for the head

-one sheet of black kami-paper (15x15cm) for the body

-one rectangle of brownish kami-paperpaper (7,5x15cm for the broom

Normally I don't give the origami models artificial eyes, but in this case it makes it more alive ;-))

Origami is magical, just like photography ;-))

An in-between step of a new model, I folded

I processed it just a little bit ;-))

HSS everyone!

Many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.

the act of folding 1000 origami paper cranes (senbazuru) is meant to be a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times...and said that the person who does this will be granted a wish by the gods

can you take me far away somewhere I can rest my head

Ich habe mehrere Versuche gebraucht, um die passende Größe für "MM" hinzubekommen.

Origami Street Art In Camden By Airborne Mark

For this one my wife made me an white origami crane, i made a background so it appears as if it is standing in the blue water!

I photographed Origami, “Yoga,” which is a male, Brown Pelican doing his afternoon stretches, by the sea with his vibrant temporary breeding plumage at La Jolla Cove, La Jolla, California, USA.

Pelecanus occidentalis

Pelicans are able to twist and turn their necks to extreme angles while preening due to an exceptionally flexible vertebral column, with specialized vertebrae that allow for significant twisting and rotational movement.

I immediately thought to myself, when I was studying this Brown Pelican, I’ve got to try to capture this memory! It reminded me of folding many Origami cranes with my best friend a few years ago for her beloved mother. Origami involves transforming, folding and sculpting techniques from paper. I thought I’ve got a title for this Peli “Yoga” master!

All photographs are taken by me.

After staring at origami directions long enough, you sort of become one with them and start understanding them from the inside.

The very first fold…….

A freshly prepared new big hexagon, 43cm, grid 1:96

For my new origami tessellation I needed a big size, so after 6 hours of folding the grid I could start, already a few weeks ago ;-))

やべぇ！セット組セッションおもろかった！

I made these origami flowers and arranged them in a white square-shaped vase to use as a decorative ornament for my coffee table.

Happy Halloween everybody!!!!!!

Juston is the designer of this origami 'Skull', which is an earlier version than his most known origami human skull . You can see that the both skulls are family ;-))

Folded from a 2:1 rectangle of yellow vellum paper .

You can find the CP here.

I folded these little origami animals using 'easy' tutorials on YouTube. I definitely don't have the patience or dexterous enough fingers for this skilful Japanese art.
