I folded this origami flower especially for Iris for her anniversary. She is a granddaughter of Carol aka 奇芍. Maybe you know Carol, she makes beautiful images of irises ;-)
Anyway, Happy Birthday, hope you will have a wonderful day.

Wishing you all a very happy and safe week ahead! Take care!!!

This origami Iris is made from 3 pieces of paper. For the flower I used a purple textured Freundenberg paper 15x15cm.
For the stem 2 right triangles, made out of a green 15x15cm kami paper. It is a flat model.
Final size: 30cm

Model: origami Iris

A bit of sad looking origami cat, as a tribute for one of my two black cats, Dubh, who disappeared about two weeks ago. No sign of him yet, so I think he will never come back. He will be missed.

Folded from three pieces of black kami-paper:
- body 15x15cm
- head 7,5x7,5cm
- eyes 7,5x7,5cm
Final height about 11cm, depends where you glue the head ;-)

Model: Cat
Design: Taichiro Hasegawa
