Folded Wilderness

Sunny Snowy Owl "It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." -Great Expectations by Charles Dickens This Snowy owl is blissfully welcoming the warm spring sun.

A reflecting duckling “Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?”

Each of these pandas is folded from a single square sheet of mullberry paper, pre-painted white on one side and black on the other, with acrylic paint. The mother is made from a model by Fumiaki Kawahata and the little ones are my own small variations. 

It was a standing fox at first but, it fell in the water when I tried taking pictures over a stream.   I fished it out and tried to salvage it and in doing so I realized that it might be possible to play with the now very soft paper to do something different.   The white paint got a bit damaged but, mostly survived and the red re-dried without being affected.

"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever."                                                                    -Unknown Author __________ "The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."                                                                      -Henry Ward Beecher These Dragons will be part of a mother's day present that I think she'll really like.  I plan to mount them on a mossy log, much like the one pictured and make a little diorama of sorts. They are origami dragons, made each from a single square of mulberry paper, painted with acrylic paints before folding. The original design is from the talented origami artist origami-artist-galen and a diagram can be found here fav.me/d4dnzxr

 "Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!" -William Butler Yeats This dragon is made from a single square sheet of painted paper. I have used filters to alter the colors in photoshop. The design is from the talented origami artist origami-artist-galen and a diagram can be found here fav.me/d4dnzxr

These little foxes are further exploration of the changes that can be made from Hideo Komatsu’s own fox model.
