Do you know and like the origami? Origami is the art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a given result using geometric folds and crease patterns. Origami refers to all types of paper folding, even those of non-Japanese origin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origami

I love these things, but I am not patient enough to do it myself. Some oriental arts request a lot of patience, close to meditation. Origami and Ikebana may seem to be simple things to do, but in fact are real complex things.

Yes, i know origami and i love creating things from folded papers. What i am doing are 3D origami. Swans, fox, cat, penguin, pineapple, owl, turtle, vases, crane are some that i have done already. And I want to create more! This is my hobby since high school. I almost fold papers for my origamis all the time. And when you have finished creating something out of the thousands you have folded, it gives you a feeling of fulfillment. I want to create more. And its fun exploring how to build these small and individual pieces into a great and cute masterpiece! Origami requires patience. What is important is you enjoy what you are doing.
