ORIGAMI AND FOLDING PAPER

Anita, engraver

Paper is a strong and versatile material if manufactured the right way. It can be made into many objects by folding it: flowers, animals, stars, design objects like lamps and containers. With some small paper pieces you can fill a room with coloured flowers, birds and butterflies. If you are patient enough you can make beautiful decorations from simple paper sheets. Origami come from the Japanese tradition of folding paper to make magic out of it!
