Looking for origami models to fold for Halloween, I came across this abstract torso of a female body, designed by Makato Yamaguchi.
Originally meant to be folded from a 1000 Yen banknote, but I don't have that, .....so I decide to use this paper to make it more look like as it is made out of stone.
Name model : Torso (1000 Yen banknote )
Designed by Makato Yamaguchi

Folded from a rectangle 1:2. ( in this case 9,1x18,2cm, final height 13cm).

This is one of the last meeting-points where origami Santa's gather together and discuss about the world of "Humans" and how they maybe can change it.
A foldable kusudama-fire keeps them warm.
Did you know that Santa's don't need any sleep at all? I didn't ;-)

***Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.
The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.
Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as art card editions and originals (ACEOs).(Wikipedia)
