"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."

Update: she is back........ ;-))

While folding another of my new pattern of my Block-tessellation serie I used thicker paper and because of that and the density of the pattern this bowl-shape arose ;-)

On the left you see the pattern from the outside and on the right the inside.

Here you can see a different view of my origami tessellation "Bricks".

I found (independently) a variation of the "Wall" of Momotani and I'm probably not the first one, correct me please when I'm wrong.

Folded from 21x21cm greenish Japanese paper, with some golden en silver dots in it.

This is a paper case of the type used to make muffins. it's been cut in half and rolled into a small flower only a few cm across.

For Macro Mondays theme " Paper-Art "

~~“Trains are relentless things, aren't they, Monsieur Poirot? People are murdered and die, but they go on just the same. I am talking nonsense, but you know what I mean."

"Yes, yes, I know. Life is like a train, Mademoiselle. It goes on. And it is a good thing that that is so."

"Why?"

"Because the train gets to its journey's end at last, and there is a proverb about that in your language, Mademoiselle."

"'Journey's end in lovers meeting.'" Lenox laughed. "That is not going to be true for me."

"Yes--yes, it is true. You are young, younger than you yourself know. Trust the train, Mademoiselle, for it is le bon Dieu who drives it."

The whistle of the engine came again.

"Trust the train, Mademoiselle," murmured Poirot again. "And trust Hercule Poirot. He knows.” ~~

Quote ― Agatha Christie, The Mystery of the Blue Train

Sometimes it is difficult to choose a photo of the same object. This is a different photo than the one I uploaded yesterday (see first comment box, if you missed that one). And I processed it more to give it a mysterious touch. Thought it might be interesting to show you this version too.

have a nice Tuesday ;-))

Folded from six sheets of shiny paper(15x15cm) with an irregular color pattern, which makes this polyhedron even more intriguing ;-).

""" YES!!! Finally Santa is here and immediately caught in the act by a famous Santa-spotter ;-)), but it's unclear if he's climbing out of a chimney, after leaving presents in that house or if he's been sleeping in a flowerpot.. ......

What do you think?"""

Although I will post the last picture of this Santa-series tomorrow, I would like to thank everyone for following it and the nice comments I received. It is much appreciated.

Many thanks for your friendship! ❤️

A Happy Xmas everyone or Happy Holidays with your beloved ones, enjoy the time together.

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. :)

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.

Papier drinking straws

Perhaps you will think: What?...... even more...?! And then I have to admit: "Yes, i folded even more units .........with a small difference".

Here you see an overview of the origami Diamond Bridge models, the big sister of the "Diamond Bridge 90", which I showed yesterday (see first comment if you missed it).

The difference lies in a few other creases that gives the unit a more pointed shape. If you then join at least 3 units together a point of a star is created. Furthermore, because of this different point shape, it is possible to ensemble more units together.

In the first horizontal row the model that arises with 6 units.

The second row shows two possibilities the 12 units version. The grey ones show two 'faces' of the 3 units connection for the star point and the green one has a 4 units connection.

The third row shows two possibilities the 30 units version. The yellows show the two 'faces' of the 3 units connection for the star point and the orange one has the 5 units connection.

Paper size one unit 7,5x15cm.

Final size:

6 units: diameter 11cm

12 units: diameter 13cm

30 units: diameter 15cm

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.

Took me a bit more time to get this origami paperboat done as i wanted a small one :) The tiny little fisherman already waited to get on the boat to go out for some fishing :)

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Quote - Mehmet Murat ildan

I like trains, as you of you do too, but I like folding them even more ;-))

Because I had to use weird sizes, (like needed for the train engine 13x36,5cm, final size: length 8cm, height 3,5cm) I use white wrapping paper.

The folding sequence of both the train cars are rather the same, only in the end you collapse the roof or not ;-)

Papersize train cars: 13x17cm, final size length: 6cm, height open one 2,5cm, closed one 3,5cm.

And two coupling devices.

So here it is…. ... a white train. Hope you like it.

Also forthe "Looking close... on Friday!" theme: "White on White"

Happy LCoF ;-))
