Origami Creations - World Origami Days 2014

I have supported the World Origami Days (WOD) celebration for 2014.  This is the time of year from October 24 to November 11 that we get to have the chance to spread the joy of paperfolding worldwide. 

For a brief of history ... October 24 is actually the birthday of Lillian Oppenheimer (1898-1192), founder of the first origami group in America.  She was also one of the founders of the British Origami Society and Origami USA.  While November 11 is Origami Day in Japan where the paper crane has become a symbol of peace.  Thus, it has been agreed to have the 2 1/2 weeks of celebration.

For this year, I have folded and posted the following in the WOD FB page of the Japan Origami Academic Society (JOAS).  A fun way to promote my origamist friends as well as my favorite origami models.

Enjoy!

Following two (2) folds I have prepared but missed to post before the deadline.  I loved them too so I am posting it here.

Have a nice day!

Origami Creations - Fun models by Dida (Dimitris Dalas)

I had so much time to spare during the chinese new year holidays and finally had a good chance to fold some of the simple models by another talented yet humble origami artist - Dimitris Dalas (aka Dida).  

His origami pieces covers a wide range of subjects with levels ranging from simple to the complex.  I have yet to try his complex works but here below is my rendition of some of my favourite.

Adorable with impressive color change

You may find the diagrams for these models in his books here.

Hope you like it and have a nice weekend.
