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

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.
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 ;-)
"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 ;-))
Remember 'Riddle'?
When assembled it looks like this and it has 3 different sides ;-)
Folded from 36 pieces of Freudenberg Paper, 7,5x7,5cm.
I used a simple unit, which I found in an old booklet "Unit-Origami" by David Petty. You can make different forms depending on how many units are assembled and how the unit is folded and used.
This origami Polyhedron variation isn't in the book ;-)
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!
And action….. the wrestling doesn't take long in reality, I guess as long as these two paper ones remained standing in this position. I had great fun and frustration at the same time making this shot ;-)
Can you recognize the one I showed you yesterday? (or see first comment box).
~~~Sumo is a form of competitive full-contact wrestling where a rikishi attempts to force his opponent out of a circular ring or into touching the ground with any body part other than the soles of his feet. Sumo originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally, where it is considered the national sport.~~~

Happy start of your weekend!!
I folded both Sumo Wrestlers from ivory colored 'elephant-hide'-paper 30x30cm. Final size about 13cm height.

It was fun folding the origami 'Devil' by Robin Harbin and I noticed in the folding process, that the middle part, also looked interesting on the backside! With a few modificaties I turned it into this 'Carnival face' with a very long nose ;-))
Model: Carnival face

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!

“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” ― Kenneth Grahame.
These young ladies (and the dog) were doing just that in what looked to me like origami boats folded together out of a sheet of plastic. Even their paddles were made of plastic sheeting. I'd never seen anything like this before and had to grab a shot.

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.

This is halfway folding the origami model "Clown Mask 2" by Hideo Komatsu and I encountered Darth Vader and his sweet love again........
Then start playing in photoshop and this is the result. Paper art transforming into almost drawn pictures. Which one you like more?
