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
Design: Andrey Lukyanov
Diagrams in the book International Origami Internet Olympiad 2012
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.
Said The Sky And Origami_Affection
Might not be the time to break the silence
Might not be the place to reel you in
But lemme catch all your tears like tiny diamonds
Might be the last time you'll fall for this again
Ooh who am I
If I am not the one to love you
The one to give you affection
Ooh it's do or die
I am not the one to love you
The one to give you affection
I'll pull you in closer 'til we buckle
Eye contact so strong we'll never break
Could spend the day right here counting up ur freckles
Even though I know it's been sixteen since May

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 ;-)
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 ;-))
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!

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

The very first fold…….
A freshly prepared new big hexagon, 43cm, grid 1:96
For my new origami tessellation I needed a big size, so after 6 hours of folding the grid I could start, already a few weeks ago ;-))
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
Just as I was wondering what to choose for MM, an origami owl landed in my mailbox. He now marks the page in my book. In the background is an owl feather.
I made these origami flowers and arranged them in a white square-shaped vase to use as a decorative ornament for my coffee table.
This is the 2nd time my origami Crane has featured in Macro Mondays - previous photo from 5 years ago in the first comment box below. In 2006 a 7 year old Japanese girl & her family stayed at our B&B, she made this Crane for me & I will treasure it forever. It's a little battered & faded now but not looking too bad for a 13 year old piece of folded paper that has successfully moved house with us HMM!
This article explains about the significance of Cranes in Japanese culture & makes for fascinating reading. The last paragraph is so sad but uplifting at the same time www.jccc.on.ca/origami-cranes/pdf/meaning_of_the_origami_...
Happy Halloween everybody!!!!!!
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 .

Amálka: Look, it's so easy! :-) Oronis learns to compose origami. She says it's a challenging art! Look! :-) It's so easy! :-)
Happy Friday my dear flickr friends! ♥♥
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?

5OSME-- indeed, Singapore itself-- is a confluence of different cultures and personalities; or as Philip would put it, a marketplace of ideas. So I thought for my submission, I'd try and throw around a few of my own concepts, to contrast against the character of the other submissions.
First off, indirect representation. I will be the first to admit that I enjoy bending the rules of a contest; and in a context of realism the obvious alternative is to turn the subject on its head. This is a sort of cubist rendition of the subject, with more concern given to composition and flow than towards anatomical realism.
Secondly, this is entirely asymmetrical and nonaxial. These afford some interesting technical insights, namely that beyond the conventional style of design there's plenty of new territory waiting to be explored.
Thirdly, this piece employs deliberate inaccuracy. The triangle grid that is the basis for this fold is about 1% off from the square that I've folded it from, and so I've used thick paper to account for this difference-- the extra space is taken up by the creases themselves, and so the model works out pretty well despite the theoretical inaccuracies.
This was folded from a 9 in square of crumpled butcher paper, textured by hand, laminated against Academie drawing paper. Colored using red crayon and spray paint.

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.
