Origami Creations - The Wise Old Owl

I was reminded of the quote "A wise old owl sat on an oak.  The more he saw, the less he spoke.  The less he spoke, the more he heard.  Why can't we all be like that bird?"

A food for thought of the day ... I reflected on this when I saw an old fold I made with an owl sitting on a cottage house. 

The Wise Old Owl

Ah ... there is so much to learn from the Wise Old Owl.

Enjoy your weekend!

Origami Creations - Three Wise Monkeys

As we are in the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year of the Red Monkey, I would like to share a cute fold titled the "Three Wise Monkeys" designed by the Japanese origamist Tsubo Tadashi.

See No Evil, Speak No Evil and Hear No Evil

It carries a wonderful message of not dwelling in evil thoughts and actions so as to ensure embracing a positive perspective in life.

Below is another photo of the three monkeys.  Ain't they cute?  You can find the ori-diagram in the book Tanteidan Magazine no. 154.

Enjoy and hope we can all embrace and practice the teaching of the three wise monkeys!
