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!
“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

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 ;-)

Finally found some time to join the 30 modules together. But.....when I took a break and returned, I saw this face of an owl, so I couldn't resist to take a photo first, before finishing it ;-))
Here you can see the completed origami model by Miyuki Kawamura called "Star Orb" (2013).

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!
"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 ;-))

Right,….. having a very smart, always optimistic and cheerful assistant. This is also the case with 'Monsieur L'Inspector. '.
Allow me to introduce you to 'Monsieur Santa Cheer', who is also busy at work. Many written clues have been received, all of which need to be read and checked.

“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.

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

Designed and folded by myself from an uncut 45cm square.
This is an evolution of a previous design here. The original was based on 22.5 degree angles but I was unsatisfied with the wings and wanted to add pleats for feathers. This version is the result of trying to 'transpose' the original design onto a boxpleating grid where feather pleats are easier to incorporate. I also stole the head from Lang's Barn Owl.

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.

The Grandma of my daughter-in-law Keiko made these origami for me as a gift five years ago. I've been thinking about her a lot lately as she's been in the hospital for few months now because of some health issues and old age. Wishing her well.
