ORIGAMI

I thought it appropriate to take a look at the Japanese art of Origami (paper folding). I found it a very valuable experience, giving me more confidence in myself. I created a rose, a butterfly and a lily. I am most pleased with the rose as it took me a while to master it and I thought about giving up a few times but I didn't and I finally managed it :) 

YouTube was a huge help of course..


Looking at my photo's of my origami work the lily is by far is the most visually appealing, probably to do with the use of colour. The red paper against the blue gives such a vibrant contrast. This colour would have worked nicely with the rose also..
will have to try creating forms out of different colours in relation to the form.
