Soul Taker
Self-portrait
The black origami butterfly was folded from a 15×15mm piece of paper; folding it any small I thought would make it really hard to see for this shot; although one of my facebook friends said “I don’t know, go even smaller maybe”
Maybe he was just used to my stuff usually being smaller; especially when seeing this scale reference
I can make it smaller but I still think it is better at this size; unlike my smaller origami pieces which are usually taken with my hand, this one is further out… or is it just me feeling too lazy to take another pic?
Taken with an Olympus FE-340 on August 10, 2009

Really cool Mui-Ling, yeah gosh would you stop being so lazy!! Haha j/k! I think this is incredibly small…wow…even smaller huh? Well maybe when you have more creative energy you’ll have to give it a go…huh? ;)
Also this is a great self portrait, it shows your work well and it is a great picture of you! xoxo
Mui-Ling Teh replied
I have made a smaller one before; it’s pretty easy; it’s taking the photo again which I feel lazy about :P. This shot particularly was rather tiring on my neck; and when I can’t see what I’m taking, it’s so difficult to take the same thing twice. I’m thinking of putting up another butterfly piece sometime with a different concept. Thanks for your comment Carrie :D
