Origami sighting!

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

We were watching the movie "Con Air" on tv and there was a scene in the movie where Nicholas Cage's character was in prison and received an origami flapping bird from his daughter! Had to pause the tv to take this picture!
















The origami flapping bird is sure a popular one. Last time, we saw it in the tv series "Medium".

Pentru Miha

Am incercat in sfarsit hartia de la Daiso pentru un Morning Glory cu marginile petalelor albe (atunci cand am indoit hartia pe diagonala, am indoit-o cu 0.5 cm mai jos decat trebuia, astfel incat la fiecare modul se vad ambele parti ale hartiei).

Modular Origami Pinwheel

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

This is a great looking origami but does require some patience. If you don't mind having to fold the same unit/module 8 times, then you're more patient than me! :)
















The assembly is a bit tricky initially but once you get the hang of it, it really wasn't too bad.

Oribana

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

Oribana este o ramură a origami-ului, care constă din crearea de aranjamente florale. Denumirea vine de la îmbinarea celor doi termeni ce definesc această "artă": origami şi ikebana.

Ikebana este arta aranjamentele florale în stil japonez,arta tablourilor vii. Florile sunt aranjate în vase după anumite tehnici şi principii. În aranjamentul florilor se urmăresc câteva reguli specifice şi necesare cum ar fi forma imperfectă, neregularitatea, înfăţişarea simplă, săracă, dar în acelaşi timp delicată şi fragilă.

Singura diferenţă dintre ikebana şi oribana este că la oribana, atât florile precum şi vasele în care florile sunt aranjate sunt făcute din hârtie.

Cei care au inventat acest termen, sunt Katrin şi Yuri Shumakov - de la Oriland. Ei au foarte multe modele oribana. Site-ul dedicat acestei arte este: http://www.oribana.com/
Pe site-ul http://oriland.com/ se găsesc câteva diagrame cu flori şi vaze. De asemenea, tot acolo, se găsesc de vânzare 3 dvd-uri cu aranjamente: "Delight", "Charm" şi "Beauty".

Spring pirouette
Unul din modelele din Oribana Delight - Spring pirouette, este alcătuit din 23 de module, are complexitatea mediu/complex. Are in compoziţie o vază (variaţie de "Fancy vase") , o orhidee (Orhidee Cattleya) şi o ramură de leandru.

Planare

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

Modelele de origami ce se poarta denumirea de planare(Intersecting Planes Model) sunt alcatuite din mai multe module ce prin asamblare, dau impresia de figuri plane ce se intersecteaza unele pe altele.
Tung Ken Lam, a fost primul care a inventat un astfel de model - WXYZ, in 1999. Este un model care arata foarte bine si nu este dificil de facut (iti da batai de cap doar la asamblarea ultimelor module). Modelul WXYZ a fost foarte bine primit in comunitatea de origami, determinand origamisti precum Francis Ow si Meenakshi Mukerji sa inventeze alte modele in genul acesta.
Exemple de modele facute de Meenakshi Mukerji se pot gasi aici: http://www.origamee.net/gallery/planars.html
David Petty, este cel care a facut diagramele pentru multe din planare, si aceste diagrame se pot gasi pe site-ul sau: http://www.davidpetty.me.uk/

WXYZ (4 triunghiuri) - Tung Ken Lam
Modelul este alcatuit din 12 module ce formeaza 4 planuri triunghiulare intersectate.
Diagrama se gaseste aici: http://kusudama.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/lam_wxyz.gif




Octahedral Cross - Tung Ken Lam
Modelul este alcatuit din 12 module ce formeaza 3 planuri intersectate.

Origami Vase for your Origami Flowers

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

If you've made the origami flowers, then you might want an origami vase to hold your flowers. At least, I did!

I first made this easy origami vase with a regular 6" square origami paper. The vase turned out good but was a bit too small to hold more than one flower.

















So then I used an 8 1/4" square origami paper and made a larger vase which held the origami day lilies shown below.


If you don't have the large origami paper, Amazon has some selection and there's a great 4-for-Price-of-3 sale going on. I've stocked up on the larger origami paper myself, thanks to the sale.

Origami Rat-----tatouille!

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

I'm not crazy about rats but Remy in Ratatouille was quite endearing. And kids seem to love him. So this one is for all the kids (and adults!) who love Remy and Ratatouille.














It doesn't require many folds and it's fairly easy. Kids may need help on the last step, which is a squash fold to make the ears but that is really an optional step.

Did you watch NBC's drama Medium last night? If you did, you might have seen the origami flapping bird in this episode.

One of the drama's characters, a teenage girl, was shown to have a small collection of origami flapping birds.

Do you have an origami collection? Do share if you do!

We updated our origami flapping bird page recently and there's also a new video. The wings of this bird flaps really nicely! Check them out at:

Origami Polar Bear

Diposting oleh Agus Sudrajat |

Remember the polar bear in the coca-cola commercial? This origami polar bear reminds me of that. What do you think? An uncanny resemblance? :)

This is a cute and fairly easy origami polar bear. You will need to make a squash fold and an inside reverse fold, which are just fancy names for fairly common folds in origami.

Muitíssimo obrigada pela colaboração de vcs!! ^_^

Bjaummm...

let's call them lady beetles?! coz that's what they are!

Ladybugs/ladybirds are from the family of Coccinellidae, which is a family of beetles.

Americans call them ladybugs, British and Australians call them ladybirds and some pc scientists call them lady beetles. Now that we've the "ladies" settled, what do we call the men?!

Whatever you call them, you'll agree that this origami is cute. Do try it, it's not hard at all.

I used a 3" square paper instead of the regular 6" so that they're cute and tiny.
