An experiment in folding with a piece of very strong metallic paper…I didn't got the end result I wanted it to have, but I'm glad I took a photo of this in-between step.

 

Happy Macro Monday ;-))

" Lost in skies of powdered gold

Caught in clouds of silver ropes

Showered by the empty hopes

As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark

'Cause nothing grows when it is dark

In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear

I see it all so clear

Woah

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

Woah

Cover your crystal eyes

And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

Making waves in pitch black sand

Feel the salt dance on my hands

Raw and charcoal coloured thighs

Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin... "

Rhodanthe chlorocephala is a native Australian daisy belonging to the family Asteraceae. It is widely grown due to its attractive flowers and foliage, and because it’s hardy, adaptable and provides a good, fast ground cover. The flowers are long-lived and dry well. Rhodanthe chlorocephala subspecies rosea is the most widely grown subspecies and is commonly known as “Pink and White Everlasting”, “Rosy Sunray”, “Pink Paper-daisy” and “Rosy Everlasting”. It grows naturally in the south of Western Australia extending into South Australia. Rhodanthe chlorocephala subsp. rosea is an erect annual herb 20-60cm high with clumps of glabrous (hairless) grey-green stems and leaves 1-6cm in length. It has a large single flowering head at the tip of each stem. Flower heads grow to 6cm diameter, gradually decreasing as the flowering season progresses. The color of the bracts varies from deep pink (almost red) through pale pink to pure white, with a yellow or black centre. 5844

In this phase you can see it better how many pre-folds had to be made. It took two days to do it.

This pre-folding does not apply to all origami models.

I made a kind of blue print. ;-))

 

If you want you still can make suggestions what it will be…….

 

What you see here is an in-between-step of an origami ….???

There were so many things to try. Everthing I tried I was liking. The closer I got. The better it was.

Happy Macro Mondays

For the Macro Mondays theme"Begins with the Letter P": Pre-creasing paper for folding.

When you fold with vellum, the creases becomes white lines. The vellum gets actually damaged and the risk it might tear is very big, so it is necessary to fold with great care.

 

HMM for everyone ;-)

Conrail freight ELKA5, led by EMD GP38-2 No. 8134, cruises through New Carlisle, Indiana, during a snowfall on January 15, 1994, in a panned photograph. It wasn’t until I received the Kodachrome slide from processor that I noticed the conductor neatly framed in the cab windows, using ambient light from bright snow to read the morning paper!

I have chosen for my favorite theme of the year, January 16: Just White Paper. Photographing paper is fascinating and white paper very challenging still.

HMM!

Macro Mondays: Redux 2017--My Favorite Theme of the Year.

For Macro Mondays and Pick Two.

 

This week's Macro Mondays theme is to pick two, one from each list.

 

The colours:

Red

Blue

Yellow

Pink

 

The items:

Flower

Bottle Cap

Paper

Pen

 

...and combine them in a macro photo. This is a thin, cellophane-like, translucent paper that made folding difficult for me. All one hue, but the lights make it look like many.

 

About 4cm /1.5 inches across.

 

My husband prefers this one. He isn't keen on abstract or bokeh balls.

 

Thanks for looking.

For Macro Mondays. I was attempting to get a neatly made coil of paper, but found it more difficult than I anticipated. I squashed many and then found they unrolled too fast but I didn't want any paper clips to be seen. So something that should have been simple took several goes. I am trying to learn to be patient!

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Torn Paper.

 

Remembering back to an art class in college, the professor wanted to teach us how to train our eyes to see Grayscale. So he asked us to simply tear out 10 pieces of paper from a newspaper and arrange them according to their intensity value, then glue them onto black construction paper.

 

Nowadays, all my newspapers have color pictures, so I used an old magazine that was already cut up. Now, I always have a Grayscale reference! If you try it, don't forget to play with the scraps, too! HMMM!

One night, I attempted to sketch my mother. I worked on the drawing for a while, focusing mainly on her eyes. For some reason, I could not capture that sense of watchful isolation that shielded her vision. Hence, I practiced on Ms. Angel Aquino's portrait instead. I knew then that if I get this portrait "right", I would be able to draw my mother's portrait...and I did.

 

This is actually the "Genesis" of most of the pieces on my SHADOWS series- a compressed charcoal study on a 90gsm smooth paper.

For some of my dear friends on Flickr, who don't fold and are curious of how the folding takes place, I decide to photograph some steps, to reveil "the secret", no just kidding ;-), it's really so nice to know you are interested.

First I cut out a hexagon out of a piece of paper, sometimes out of a square, sometimes out of a rectangle and then I start to make/fold the division of the grid that I need. This is somewhere in between......I still have to do a lot.

I used very thin paper with plenty of fiber, as you can see.... there is a very big one........ Because I wanted to see if I could tessellate this kind of paper...., always like a challenge........ to be continued.

 

The rolled paper is shot from above - it is on a tray table with a translucent top - the flash is below the table.
