Bird origami, the art of folding paper into intricate bird shapes, holds profound meanings and symbolism. In many cultures, birds represent freedom, hope, and the ability to overcome obstacles. For instance, in Japanese culture, the crane is a sacred symbol of longevity, good fortune, peace, and happiness.

-- Papierwespe --
Paper wasps, also known as *Polistinae*, are a subfamily of the Vespidae family. They build nests from a paper-like material made of chewed wood fibers and saliva. These wasps are known for their social structures and their ability to construct nests, which are often attached to sheltered locations such as eaves or tree trunks. Paper wasps are generally peaceful and derive their name from their nest-building, which is reminiscent of the art of Japanese paper-making. (Wikipedia)
Papierwespen, auch bekannt als Feldwespen (Polistinae), sind eine Unterfamilie der Faltenwespen (Vespidae). Sie bauen Nester aus einem papierähnlichen Material, das aus zerkauten Holzfasern und Speichel besteht. Diese Wespen sind bekannt für ihre sozialen Strukturen und ihre Fähigkeit, Nester zu bauen, die oft an geschützten Orten wie Dachvorsprüngen oder Baumstämmen angebracht werden. Papierwespen sind in der Regel friedlich und tragen ihren Namen aufgrund ihres Nestbaus, das an die Kunst des japanischen Papiers erinnert. (Wikipedia)

Image is 2.28" W. These are post-it notes folded and shot with a shallow depth of field. I'm not exactly sure what happened here, but I believe I focused on the back part of the object, which made the foreground out-of-focus. Foreground Bokeh !!
In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, caused by circles of confusion. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all regions of an image which are outside the depth of field.
Just when you seek a moment's peace,
Let magazines your thoughts release,
For in their pages, stories rhyme,
In paperbound whispers, through all time.
The theme for for "Smile on Saturday" for Saturday 7th of June is "portray the letter P", where, as the name suggests you need to portray the letter P in some way. In this case, I have used pretty pieces of découpage paper from my collection to form the letter P. There is even a pansy in there for good measure! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Scrapbooking was a popular pastime in Victorian times for both children and adults. Creating a scrapbook was not only a craft project, it was also a way of preserving memories.
In the 1800s, the automated printing press was invented. Suddenly books and printed material became much more widely available. As well as writing in their commonplace books, people began to cut out and stick in printed items. Things like greeting cards, calling cards, postcards, prayer cards, advertising trading cards and newspaper clippings were collected. Some of these books contained a mix of personal journal entries, hand-drawn sketches and watercolours, along with various scraps of printed material. These books were literally books of scraps.
By the 1820s, collectable scraps had become more elaborate. Some items were embossed: a process by which a die (a metal stamp for cutting or pressing) was punched into the reverse side of the paper, giving the front a raised three-dimensional appearance.
In 1837, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign, the colour printing process known as chromolithography was invented. This lead to the production of ‘ready made’ scraps. Brightly coloured and embossed scraps were sold in sheets with the relief stamped out to the approximate shape of the image. These pre-cut scraps were connected by small strips of paper to keep them in place. The laborious task of cutting out small pictures was thus removed, and sales of scraps went soaring. Many of the best-quality scraps of the period were produced in Germany, where bakers and confectioners used small reliefs to decorate cakes and biscuits for special occasions such as christenings, weddings, Christmas and Easter.
These embossed chromolithograph scraps are of German and British origin and date from the 1880s.
