For the Macro Mondays theme: "Corner".
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 ;-))
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.

This image was created for the Macro Monday group.
I placed some folded paper on a glass coffee table with a light source beneath, then took some shots from above.
By moving the light and changing the coloured paper, you can achieve some very interesting results, this is just one of them!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely comment, it's very much appreciated!
Stay safe and healthy my friends!
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

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
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 ….???
I made a little series about it: Paper Art:
Update:
Model: origami Hedgehog
Design: Kouji Nakagawa
Diagrams in Tanteidan Convention Book #8
Paper: 35x35cm brownish elephant-hide paper.
Final size: height 5cm, width 12cm, length 12cm

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 ;-)

...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!

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