if i can fly… . written with thoughts of you and dedicated to you… thoughts of a place where the wind takes me… where white sheets dance the wind… for things are simply innocent… / where orgami cranes fly… bringing me the messages of his undying love… / where willow leaves float the wind… telling stories of beginnings with no ends… / where a quill writes me letters in blu… quotes of velvety romance… / and folded, now an airplane… carries my sentiments… far and away… / and on any sunday afternoon, a wave of satin whispers songs that the wind desires… of its tearful longing… and / if i can fly… . acrylic and charcoal on canvas / 24”x 48” .....

A flower that can last all year round; who wouldn’t want that? I started thinking this might make a nice card. Something like this may be suited for a happy occasion (e.g. mother’s day) or a romantic occasion.

The biggest challenge came in the smallest size, and it doesn’t take size to love and treasure something. Folded this one out of a 3×3mm piece of trace paper.

Origami Man travelled the universe in his spaceship and landed on the home planet of Venus Fly Trap (and her friends). / Moonflowers cover the ground and the craters are homes to various creatures. The venus fly traps live in the tall craters, shaped like vases. Such courage and bravery is shown here by Origami Man as he greets Venus Fly Trap. You may ask, would he still be as friendly if he knew what they ate? And the answer is yes! Of course he would… OM doesn’t prejudice against those that eat space explorers… he just wears protective clothing!!! This image is created in Cinema 4D and was part an assignment at TAFE. / One day, I’ll get around to getting the story I wrote for Origami Man created. Its on the to do list!!! Why not get your own Venus Fly Trap to wear!!! /

This is the first Japanese origami instruction shirt. I think this nice design is a good one to start with, because it uses the most basic folds that you might need to know. If you make the design, please send me a bubblemail and let me see it. i will try and put it on this page. Have fun.

This one is a bit harder than the others, because there are more folds. See if you can make an origami toad. If you make the design, please send me a bubblemail and let me see it. i will try and put it on this page. Have fun.

My origami calendar I tried to fold a crane out of gummy candy, which came out far less successful than the candy wrapper folded crane. First I had to take a slice of gummy thin enough to fold, but not too thin that it would be too delicate to fold with; or stick to one another too easily while folding; hence getting ruined. Secondly the folding process could not be done continuously; I had to leave time between some folds to let it dry before proceeding, otherwise the gummy is just too sticky to work with. Third, the completed crane had the tendency to want to unfold and shrink, hence the stubbiness. This also made photo shooting difficult; I had to try to take the picture before the crane unfolded or contracted any further; the parts needed some pinching and stretching before the picture was taken. I was debating on whether to upload this or not, but hey it atleast kinda recognizable as a crane… well I liked the title :P This work has been featured in / Little Things To Make You Smile / The Sculptinators / Macro Untouched More Sample Origami:

My origami calendar / / Ever since I saw mobii’s Origami Penguin Tee shirt, I’ve wanted to give it a go myself. The problem was I was too busy at the time, and I could not think of a creative scenario for it. I finally thought of one, and started folding from a 7×7mm piece of paper using tweezers, but by the time I was finished, I realized it was too tiny to create the scenario I wanted :P. I’m going to do bigger one later. I’ve decided to show this one anyways because I think it’s cute. It’s just taken in my hand hand; nothing new, but in black and white the lines in my hand looks like a snowstorm Taken with an Olympus FE-340. For a better idea of scale: / and here is the bigger one:

So how did this idea come up? First see the description in my Penguin in a Snowstorm, then read the third comment (not including my replies). So then mobii puts me to the challenge and posts the instruction for an Origami camel The one I folded here is from a 14×14mm piece of paper. I actually made this quite a long time ago, but I didn’t want to post anything yet until I try a smaller one, but then I became too busy and am not sure when I will have the chance to do a smaller one so I’m going to post this for now. This image was taken straight from the camera. The water in the background in not photoshopped; it is my computer screen. I wasn’t intending it to come out blurry but I’m glad it did.

I guess Bigfoot is not so big afterall… Although he’s a bigger creation than most of my origami here on RB. I used origami instructions for a monkey to produce Bigfoot; and it was very challenging; it involves a series of inside reverse folds, such that there are steps where you can get up to 28 overlapped layers of paper (or maybe even more if you don’t unfold certain parts before moving onto the next step) – I didn’t follow it exactly, but that’s okay because I wasn’t producing a monkey :P. The paper actually started out being 8×8cm, but it got reduced down to this: Taken Sep. 9 2009 with an Olympus FE-340

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?

Born From The Cell; step by step
by Mui-Ling TehSome of you may have come across this journal...
Some of you may have come across this journal announcing a challenge in which we present the process behind our work. So I decided to present the process of how I did Born From the Cell. / / / / The Secret is… / / / / / / / I cast myself a really big hand then place a piece of origami on it! / / / / I’m kidding :P / / / Here are the instructions for the typical paper crane: / / / / To do a small one I first need to cut a perfect tiny square. There may be occasions that the paper will not have a straght edge, so I apply a bit of math and creativity to get the right angles, proportion and size. Here I define the edges of the square through a series of folds. / / / I first create a straight edge by a single fold. / / / To get the perpendicular corner of a perfect square I make another fold by overlapping one side of the first fold with the other and making sure they line up. / / / / / / / Along one edge, I mark with a needle how far in parrallel with the other edge I want my next fold to be (in this case 3mm), and fold along the edge again. / / / / / / Now I want to make sure those parrallel edges will also be 3mm like the first. I can use a ruler, but suppose none is available, and the first edge was done without measuring, here is a way to be precise: / / / / I make a perfectly diagonal fold by overlapping folded edges on both sides. One end of the folded diagonal will go through the intersection of a pair of perpendicular folds while the other bisects the other fold to define the third corner of the square. / / / / The diagonal fold is not only a measuring device, but a head start with the crane folding prior to cutting the paper. So essentially I’ve already done step one in the instructions above. / / There are severals way I can proceed from here. I choose to make another diagonal going the other way by overlapping the folds; this time I have a third guide from the previously folded diagonal. / / / / / / Using the two parralles lines bisected by the diagonal ones, I can fold the last edge / / / / The parrellel lines should be perfectly overlapping themselves. Meanwhile the last fold should go through the intersection of the diagonal lines with the parrallel lines. This means everything was done precisely. / / / / From here I can cut the square, but there is still more I can do to make the folding process easier. / / / / I divide the 3×3mm square into four, which is easier to do now then when the paper is small. Now I cut the square / / / / / / It is now time to proceed with folded the crane (following the instructions above): Step one, fold in half into a triagle / / / / Step two, fold that triangle in half. This is more easily accomplished thanks to the second folded diagonal line prior to cutting. / / / / Step three and four, open the triangle and press flat, and repeat on the other side. This is where the folds for creating the divided squares come in handy. / / / / From here on things are trickier so I have to create a special set-up. Here a magnifying glass holds down a piece of tape from which I will proceed with the rest of the folding while looking through the glass. If the tape is too sticky that can ruin the paper, so earlier on I stuck it to my pants a few times to collect some lint and not be as adhesive. / / / / Now I’m taking pictures through the magnifying glass… / / / / Step five and six, fold edges to the centre and unfold. / / / / / / / / / / These folds just act as a guide for the next step. I omitted folding the top corner; it doesn’t do much here. / / Step 7, open an press flat. / / / / / / Repeat on the other side. / / / / Finally I fold the head and the tail. / / / / / / After I finish folding the crane, I position it on my hand and shoot it through a magnifying glass. Since this is so close that my hand will take up the background, it didn’t matter to me how messy my workspace is :P / / / /

Glow
by Mui-Ling TehThis 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
