Lets Make Origami

Am reusit in sfarsit sa reconditionez lebada mea cea mare (facuta din hartie xerox A5 reciclata). Avea nevoie iar de asamblare si de ceva piese noi ca in cei 2 ani de "viata" a fost afectata de gravitatie.

Cand printre valuri ce salta
Pe balta
In ritmu usor
Lebada alba cu-aripile-n vanturi
In canturi
Se leagana-n dor;
Aripele-i albe in apa cea calda
Le scalda,
Din ele batand,
S-apoi pe luciu, pe unda d-oglinde
Le-ntinde:
O barca de vant.
Mihai Eminescu - Lebada

On 24th of July, we went to another event organized by JTI ( Japan Tabacco International ). It was their 10 year anniversary.
The event took place in Buftea, at the Stirbei Domain, a beautiful castle surrounded by a park and a huge lake.
We had to fold 215 eagles, that were given to people as presents.







Andrei also folded a big eagle, made out of paper measuring 70 X 70 cm. They choose eagle as a symbol of strength and intelligence:





We also gave a modular swan to Neil Coupland, General Manager of JTI Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.




And some photos from the event:

Ce cauti unde bate luna
Pe-un alb izvor tremurator
Si unde pasarile-ntruna
Se-ntrec cu glas ciripitor?
N-auzi cum frunzele-n poiana
Soptesc cu zgomotul de guri
Ce se saruta, se harjoana
In umbr-adanca de paduri?
In cea oglinda miscatoare
Vrei sa privesti un straniu joc.
O apa vecinic calatoare
Sub ochiul tau ramas pe loc?
S-a desprimavarat padurea,
E-o noua viata-n orice zvon,
Si numai tu gandesti aiurea,
Ca tanarul Endymion.
De ce doresti singuratate
Si glasul tainic de izvor?
S-auzi cum codrul frunza-si bate,
S-adormi pe verdele covor?
Iar prin lumina cea rarita,
Din valuri reci, din umbre moi,
S-apar-o zana linistita
Cu ochii mari, cu umeri goi?
Ah! acum crengile le-ndoaie
Manute albe de omat,
O fata dulce si balaie,
Un trup inalt si mladiet.
Un arc de aur pe-al ei umar,
Ea trece mandra la vanat
Si peste frunze fara numar
Abia o urma a lasat.

Mihai Eminescu - Diana

I made these models for a friend that loves the Auckland Blues rugby team.



And this is the All Blacks kusudama. :)

Tchaikovsky is my favourite composer and swan is one of my favourite origami models. If you wanna try it, here is the link with a movie that will expain it to you.

These are the first i made:
