When you use two different kind of papers to fold this box, it gets a different character, suitable for a chique occasion.
Here you see the "first version" and the second one of the origami 'Heart Box'.
All of them are from two squares 21x21cm, one for the base and one for the lid. Final size 8cm.
Model: Heart Box
Design: Robin Glynn
Diagrams can be found here.
Or if you prefer a tutorial: part 1: the base and part two: the lid.

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.
Pour la journée de la Fête du Paper Art, l'oiseau jaune est venu se poser sur un vieux livre assemblé de manière particulière. #Macro #MacroMondays #PaperArt

Happy Macro Monday!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!
For Macro Mondays.
I attempted some marbling of paint on paper this weekend, but wasn't very successful, so have resorted to the unimaginative paper coil.
"An unidentified flying starflower has been detected in orbit around earth last night. So far, it didn't responded to any contact attempt. We will keep you informed", according to the Newspaper O-Ri_G_A-Mi.
I folded one molecule from my origami tessellation 'Dance' to create this "Origami Starflower". It is 3D shaped, hope you can see it.
Mostly I start with showing first just one molecule and then a larger tessellation with more molecules connected in some way or another. Must be because I like the irregular hexagon shape so much ;-))
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
Grid 1:24, hexagon 18cm, hand made paper.
Macro Mondays: Paper Art
Fun fact: On the day the theme was announced, I had dinner at my parents' with my mother's cousin and his wife. During the dinner, he started folding his paper napkin into a rose to amuse my niece and nephews. And here I was, with orange place mats perfectly matching the paper art I hadn't even begun to search!
In Denmark, people with skills in paper cutting do things like this during Easter to send a secret message to friends... this one is from a very special person. You -as receiver- have to guess who made the paper cutting...
"O, I see……...it is already Monday…….!!!", says 'Face 1'.
A little test fold just to see how a new idea I have looks like before making a bigger origami tessellation with this pattern.
Suddenly there was this face!
And on the other side is Face 2. ;-)
Folded from a hexagon 21 cm, grid 1:48, 'Anett'-paper.

These are parts of the skeleton model 'Homo Skeleton', designed by Yuri & Katrin Shumakov
Diagrams in a booklet 'Skeletons Team' by Yuri & Katrin Shumakov.
On this photo you see '4 vertebra joined with two ribs', each one is made from 3 pieces of regular copy paper, each 10,5x10,5cm.
And also the legs and feet and the pelvis, already joined.
Here you can see the 'not yet completely joined skeleton'.
I last made one of these almost 40 years ago when I was a kid at school, so it's reassuring to know that the old grey matter still remembers a thing or two from school.
Not quite as skilful as the real Japanese art of Origami however this fits the brief perfectly for the Macro Mondays weekly theme of paper art.
I had hard time in choosing the color of my latest origami-tessellation "Starry Flowerbed"…… I uploaded yesterday the mixed color version. But I find the other colors also interesting, because they emphasize a different aspect of this tessellation, at least in my eyes……. so I decided to show you all of them…
Folded with "Anett-Paper', grid 1:96, hexagon 43cm.
The final size 20cm.

"Did you hear that scratching sound too last night…….?
Seems this red skeleton hand is trying to get out……
Beware!!!!!!"
It reminds me of the beautiful song Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Perhaps you know it, if you watched the "Peaky Blinders"…. great series too!
Model: Spooky origami Hand Skeleton
Design: Jeremy Shafer
There is a video tutorial by Jo Nakashima, if you want to fold it too.
Folded from a 20x20cm red wash paper, final size 6,5x6cm.

~~~It's time for origami dragons again!!!!
These three Eastern Dragons are very excited, crying out loud and are slowly getting in the mood to perform their typical dragon dance.~~~
I searched the internet for an impression and found this 'Dragon Dance' music:

These 3 origami dragons are from the same designer, Jun Maekawa. The two greenish ones are the same model, I just gave them a different pose and expression. The red one is folded from two pieces of paper, unlike the other two, which are folded from only one piece of paper.
I think the designer first created the red one (diagrams are in an older magazine) and in the course of time he found a way to fold the same dragon out of just one piece of paper. It is always interesting to see such a development and of course to fold it ;-))
