Happy Sliders Sunday ;-))
"Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart."
Quote - Victor Hugo
I guess a little bit infected by the spring fever ;-)), but when I found this joyful origami model, I just knew I had to fold it and show it to you. I made a kind of top view photo so you can see the other color inside too. Enjoy!!
I used three pieces of double colored dotted paper (15x15cm for the pot and leaf; 12,5x12,5cm for the flower).
Final hight 14cm.
Model: origami Potted Flower

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Quote ― James Baldwin
Before I start folding all the elements of an origami modular,( in this case 30 pieces) I always ensemble a few of them together to see if the paper is the right choice.
I must admit that this paper was very sturdy and not really pleasant to fold with, but its translucency did it., as I love backlighting paper.
Here you see 3 elements (10,5x10,5cm) joined, backlight and you are looking inside. I see a face, hope you see it too ;-))
Enjoy your Wednesday !!

Fly with me and together we will discover new origami worlds ;-))
An invitation to see another transformation.

Once more the same origami daffodil-trio, but in a blue version and different angle. It was the first photo I made actually, but I wasn't happy about it because the stems/leaves were too short (although I used the recommend size), so I folded longer stems/leaves and made a different photo, as you can see in the first comment box.
But I still like this photo, so I decided to show it to you.
Interesting to know your opinion.
Name: origami Daffodil
Design: Toshie Takahama
Diagrams in the book: Creative Life With Creative Origami 3
Each daffodil is folded from two pieces of thin Japanese paper:
- flower: a hexagon 14,5cm
- stem + leaves: one rectangle 30x10cm: first you have to cut a rhombus and then fold it
Final height of complete flower: about 19cm height of which 10cm for the flower (point to point)
It will be Xmas soon, so I folded this modular origami "Little Circus" in the traditional Xmas colors.
They are all folded from the same module (7,5x15cm, double colored kraftpaper), one the three ones on the right have one fold more ;-)
I also added tags, so you can see how many modules were used.
Left 1: 3 modules
Left 2: 6 modules
Left 3: 12 modules
Left 4: 30 modules
Right 1: 12 modules
Right 2: also 12 modules
Right 3: 30 modules

Do you remember my photo 'A work in progress' ?
Well, I finally finished the basic pattern. It is a very large extension of this origami-tessellation, called 'Start'.
It is the first time I ever folded such a large grid!
Now the fun part begins, adding the final pattern by altering the magical hexagons ;-))
Folded from a hexagon 43cm, grid 1:128, 'Anett'-paper.

"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 ;-))
thought I might be nice to show also a different photo in color and looking at a different angle at these two origami modulars.
(You can see the monochrome version in the first comment box, in case you missed it.)
Have a wonderful Friday ;-)

"""Late last night, I came home and saw something blue lying by the front door. When I got closer, I saw that it was a witch's hat. But when I tried to pick it up, it suddenly moved!!
At first, I thought it was a gust of wind... but the same thing happened on my second and third attempts, as if there was something under the hat... I also heard a high-pitched giggling sound...
Now who played a trick on me…??
Is there perhaps someone who had the same experience?"""

Happy Shocktober ;-))

El primer problema cuando se planteó hacer una Urraca en vuelo era la dificultad de los cambios de color. Tres cambios de color conseguidos después, queda claro que lo importante (e "imposible") es conseguir que la Urraca sea Urraca y no golondrina, Aguila ..
Se hizo lo q se pudo..esto ya es demasiado para mi. Paso el turno al experto :P
Nota: plegar bien y hacer una foto buena.. Ya sería demasiado :P
I saw a model like this at a friend's house and when I complimented her about it, she offered it for me to take it home and study it. I unfolded carefully and figured it out with some trial and error. I really like the center part which looks to me like a partially opened iris closure. I think Chris Palmer made a box with a decoration like that (this should be my next project).
EDIT: The friend who lent me the star contacted the guy who gave it to her and I updated the caption.

Con el trabajo que me ha costado, ya me perdonaréis que ponga dos fotos.
I'll wait until Natalia finds a name for it and then I'll update the caption.

En esta figura he tratado de usar una base muy simple y centrarme más en modelar. El papel era algo grueso tal vez.

Trying to improve my origami, do not always succeed.
