"There are many possible directions to go from here. The current structure is folded only once. Like paper origami, it is possible to fold multiple times."

Quote —Ming Wu

"Have you heard the good news...? Spring has arrives in this part of the world....so cheer up, my dearest. Winterwonderland will just be a memory of a cold dream."

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.

Of course I had to create a new critter for my origami collection. This is a little whale. Super easy to do and cute! I now have made a bear, a fox, a kitty (which I will post later), a boat, a sombrero, and a dress. I wonder what else I can make. :)

This is a paper flower which is about 5 cm.

As you can see, my photo is not origami, but as a Japanese, I am very happy many people choose Origami as an object for this week's theme♡

.. happy Friday :)

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.

Another exploration of one of my tessellations 'T-est 3' using different paper (glassine).

You see the front (left) and backside(right) of my tessellation "Yellow" using the big irregular hexagon connected with big regular hexagon.

It is not completely flat, it has a slight convex.

If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".

Back to my 'Butterfly-molecule'.........there were still some ideas waiting for big grids to be folded.......

This is a little tessellation, where I connected '4-Butterflies' together.

The extended version looks like this.

Folded from a hexagon 21cm, glassine, grid 1:48

If you want to see the progress of my 'Connection-tesselations', click here for the album, where you can see my other tessellations, all based on my "Butterfly-molecule", that underlies these tessellations.

Dollar bill Origami dress for Paper Art Macro Mondays

Both my son and I have a common hobby of paper crafting. He loves to do origami and I love to make something out of it to use in my paper crafts like scrapbooking and art journals, card making etc.

This is a envelope with the size of W:5 cm and H: 6,3 cm made by my son (origami folding) that I stamped and created a miniature letter inside of.

Happy MM

I folded this lovely origami "Pagoda Box" as a birthday present. It is a beautiful box and you can put something it too(box size is about 6cm height).

You need two pieces of paper, one for the box and one for the lid.

Here you can see a different view of the same model.

I used double side color/motive paper, 24cm each.

The box-bottom is a square about 9cm.

#PAPIERKUNST

Picture with ruler in the first commentbox

I was the eldest child in our family and for a few years the only child, so my mother spent all her time with me. Long before I went to school she taught me how to cut PAPER DOILIES.

Cutting paper doilies became my passion for months on end, I started with news paper, but a an uncle brought me loads of left over paper from the factory where he worked. The paper came in two colors, bright orang and soft mint. Our house and the houses of family and friends were decorated excessively with my orange and mint paper doilies.

My mother has always been very supportive of my artwork, many of my old aunts used to say she had better taught me some housework.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ik was het oudste kind in ons gezin en een paar jaar het enige kind, mijn moeder bracht al haar tijd met mij door. Lang voordat ik naar school ging, leerde ze me papieren kleedjes knippen.

Het knippen van papierenkleedjes was maandenlang mijn passie, ik begon met krantenpapier, maar een oom bracht me een lading overgebleven papier uit de fabriek waar hij werkte. Ik kreeg twee kleuren paier: helder oranje en zacht mint. Ons huis en de huizen van familie en vrienden waren ruim versierd met mijn oranje en mint papieren kleedjes.

Mijn moeder heeft mijn kunst aktiiteiten altijd gestimuleerd., mijn oude tantes zeiden dat ze me beter wat huishoudelijk werk had kunnen bijbrengen.
