A more closer look of "Pattern" (see first comment box). The texture reminds me of stone, so I did some processing to emphasize that.
The paper I used is 'glassine', which is great photogenic paper because of its translucency.

A few young guys were playing around (taking photos / video clips) with these paper boats in the breakwater of the East Cost Park Precinct.
This photo let me remember of the old Cantonese song 《紙船》 [Paper Boat], released in 1982, by the famous Hong Kong Cantopop singer / songwriter / actor Sam Hui ( 許冠傑).

《紙船》
作曲/填詞：許冠傑 (1982)
路經海邊見隻小船
懷人萬里心暗酸
異鄉的她腦海湧現
如何把相思串
拾起張紙摺隻小船
徐徐地放於水面
靜心閉目許個願
船兒匆匆飄遠
望船實踐我這個願
遙遙長路也不倦
直去到她身邊
只求跟她一見
若她終於見隻紙船
盤旋夢裡千百轉
望她珍惜當中意義
齊齊把相思串

[Paper Boat]
Composed/lyrics by Sam Hui (1982).
Lyrics (an unofficial English translation from internet, not singable):
Walking pass the seaside, ( I ) see a small boat
Remind me of that person, thousands of miles away, make me feel sad inside
(Image of) her who is in foreign land rush into my mind
How to make our hearts connect
Pick up a piece of paper and fold a little boat
Gently lay it down on the water
Clear my mind, close my eyes and make a wish
(Watching) the little (paper) boat quickly floats afar
I hope the (paper) boat could fulfill this wish of mine
Tirelessly travel long way away
Straight to her side
Only hope to see her once
if she finally see a paper boat
Drifting in circle endlessly in her dream
Hope she could cherish the meaning of it
Together, let's make our hearts connect

For 'Smile on Saturday', theme: gift wrapping material. I chose rolls of Japanese paper. So colourful.
Avec de l'imagination, mes petites lamelles de papier m'ont aidé à construire un monde coloré à la texture tout en douceur qui devrait aider à la recherche d'une vie plus harmonieuse. #Macro #MacroMondays #UnusualPatterns
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
Macro Monday theme - Paper Art
The flower pot is one side of a paper mache egg, then there is paper grass and an added bloom out of paper.
Happy Macro Monday and have a lovely new week friends!
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 ;-)
Macro Monday
Theme: Paper Art
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
The subject is a piece of tissue paper. I sprinkle some water drops on the paper and crunched it randomly to create these shapes.
With a bit of imagination it looks like hills and crumbling icebergs.
There are 2 sources of light , an overhead incandescent table lamp light and a LED torch under neath the tissue paper.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always
appreciated.

Looking Close on Friday theme: made of paper
Thank you for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HLCoF
As you (perhaps) known I like to fold with all kind of paper and investigate what the effect will be, in others words how the model (in this case my "Molecule-blocks-tessellation") will look.
This here is a piece of Freudenberg paper 15x15cm with a printed pattern on it. I just took a photo of it to show you how the paper looks unfolded.
Here you can see the results ;-)
(Polistes) Considering I was using a 200mm - 800mm lens, hand held, to catch this I was quite pleased with the result!
Created for Macro Mondays, theme paper; not my best paper boat (I'm not good in it), small yellow paper boat on a small globe, with green reflection (blue would have been better)
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.
Happy birthday, my dear wife...!
[We'll play with a paper plane,
being so occuped with our paper problems...]
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.
