  • views: 522 / favs: 15 Taken May 20, 2007 with a Fuji E-510. See my Miura Coast calendar. This rock in, known as Shiroyama (literally means “white mountain”), is located Arasaki Park (Yokosuka, Japan). Yokosuka is a city in Miura near Hayama, the town where I did my internship. Hayama is renowned for the beach and green hills, and this place was just a drive down. Hayama literally means “leaf mountain” in Japanese, and indeed Hayama is full of green mountains. The coast of Yokosuka, Hayama; along with other cities in Miura are popular for their beaches and offer a rich experience with nature.

  • views: 3424 / favs: 51 Completed 2004 age 18 I was inspired by the Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju, who tends to limit his colors in his paintings. Sometimes he paints an image where the background is the complimentary colors of the subject. His style is simple but at the same time intense, where the foreground stands out from the complimentary background. Medium: Watercolors This is a painting done in my sketchbook. The paper isn’t watercolor paper, but at least more durable than regular printing paper.

  • I drew the sketch of this Tee about 2 months ago but i never actually got down and vectorised it till now. As you can probably see the design is influenced by Japan. I actually got the idea for this from TBO’s Japanfluence group here on redbubble. So big up too you TBO!!!

  • “Yakuza” written in katakana. Yakuza (ヤクザ), also known as gokudō (極道), are members of traditional organized crime groups in Japan, and also known as the “violence group”. Today, the Yakuza are among the largest crime organizations in the world. In Japan, as of 2005, there are some 86,300 known members. In Japanese legal terminology, yakuza organizations are referred to as bōryokudan, literally “violence groups”, which Yakuza members consider an insult as it can be applied to any violent criminal. The Burakumin (部落民) – about 70 percent of the members of Yamaguchi-gumi, the biggest yakuza syndicate in Japan – are a group that is socially discriminated in Japanese society. The burakumin are descendants of outcast communities of the feudal era, which mainly comprised those with occupations considered “tainted” with death or ritual impurity, such as executioners, undertakers or leather workers. They traditionally lived in their own secluded hamlets and ghettos. Discrimination against the Burakumin continues into the present day, a legacy of the Japanese feudal/caste system.

  • I do have a calendar for my origami already,(see here) and I have decided to make another specially for the flying birds (my cranes + 3 images of my golden flapping bird). I still have an assignment do to for school, but I hadn’t posted origami for a really long time. I felt like posting something and only have the time to create using what I already have. Hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays! To see my entire origami collection, see here. I’d be more than glad to switch images around to suit personal preferences.

  • Featured on the Homepage, Sept. 28th, 2009 / / (Thank you RedBubble) Acrylic on canvas, 16”x20” / Sold, $1200 / (Study Painting) My work was featured in the Fine Arts Group / (Thanks everyone!) This is the third study painting I have created in a series of ancient Japanese graphic art works. This was inspired from the “Journey along the Passing Waves of the Shallow Rapids”. / Each piece I have done has been intense and rewarding. The brush movements are like a dance between me and the canvas. They are immensely enjoyable and I am currently working on several more. / CarrieGlennStudios.Com

  • My origami calendar Time passes by so quickly; life is so busy. If I were in the centre of time, could I forever enjoy the moment that is now? Moments are like flowers; enoyable while it still exists, then wears away… Just when I finsh one school project; it’s time to work on another. I cherish moments where I can slowly enjoy my favourite activities… This clock of mine is old. It doesn’t run on batteries, I have to wind it to keep it ticking. Taken with an Olympus FE-340 on July 10, 2009. For a better idea of scale of the centre flowers: / This work has been featurede in: / Numbers One to a Trillion

  • 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

  • views: 122 / favs: 9 It’s fall for many of us including myself; though in Australia it’s spring right now right? Flower folded from a 15×15mm piece of paper (coloured by hand before folding). Blue butterfly folded from a 5×5mm piece of paper. For a better idea of scale: Also available at Zazzle I made these some time back, but felt too lazy to take pictures then. But now I have to clear my workspace and decided to take this before putting them away.

  • Self-portrait I folded a rose from a sheet of acetate. I don’t remember how big that was but that does not matter since this is one of my miniatures. This rose is the same type folded in my Snow Flower, but this one is folded from a transparent sheet. There were several challenges involved in creating this piece. Folding acetate is different from paper due to different physical properties. The central twist of the rose particularly does not maintain it’s form forever in acetate; I would have it held down or take the pic before it untwists itself. I generally have a hard time with self-portraits, and it was also difficult getting both my eye and the rose in focus; and getting the right crop. In addition my eyes are dark, but I also wanted to get enough light in them for the “faded” effect without over exposing the rose. Later I also took this using the same rose:

  • This is the same folded rose in my Fading Taken with an Olympus FE-340 on Oct 22, 2009. I put a weak flashlight underneath it; and had another weak flashlight shining one it. I took the photo into photoshop and did a bit of adjustment for a glassier effect. This work has been featured in: / ~Still Life Photography

  • If you ever wondered where all your money went… :o) / / / Each monkey was folded from a 15×15mm piece of paper. I’m not too happy with the photo, folding identical monkeys is not very easy; particular because of two of the steps which involve using scissors. I like the concept though :o) After I took the photo the bottom monkey fell; nice timing… I’ve been folding these monkeys for some time. Photo taken today; October 28, 2009 with an Olmpus FE-340 For a better idea of scale: It’s stretching it’s arm to look taller; but I know it’s a shorty :P I used the same monkey in Monkey Bars

  • views: 152 / favs: 10 I folded 9 cranes connected by their wings from a single piece of paper. I had a strip of paper about 8.4mm wide, and cut slits on either side 8.4mm apart. See the process work here. Generally with miniature origami, there is the great challenge of preventing the delicate little piece of paper from being damaged by the moisture of my hands; and in this case I needed to touch the paper A LOT, so I had to wipe them often. Making a single crane in this strand (particularly ones in the middle) takes much more patience then making one individually because I of the interference of the other attached cranes/ paper squares, and I have to ensure that I do not accidentally detach the paper while folding (while cutting the slits, I left about 1mm at the ends). For a better idea of scale: / This actually takes much greater patience than folding Born from the Cell / / / Taken Nov.16, 2009 with an Olympus FE-340 on macro mode using natural light. I taped the other end of the cranes to a raised surface, and I had to fiddle around with the position in order that none appeared faced down or in some other awkward position; as well to get the blur. The background is a picture of the sky on my computer screen :o) / / This work has been instantly featured in: / Live, Love, Dream / The Photographer’s Vault / Color Me a Rainbor / / / / Also available at Zazzle /
