Origami artist
I’ve created the head of the origami elephant in june/2016, but only recently I decided to complete it with a body. There are now two versions, this one and the bookmark . I made this one seated to follow the same style of my origami money cat, money dog and money bunny.

The origami flower pot with stem is made from a single sheet of paper, making a good use of the colors of both sides. It can be connected with many different types of origami flowers, including my own designs, other artist’s designs and traditional models.

Daruma is a traditional japanese doll, symbol of perseverance and good luck. Fill one eye and make a wish (or set a goal); fill the other one when it is achieved. In this origami Daruma you can fill the eyes by making a simple valley-fold as shown in the gif above! If you like japanese culture, see also the Maneki Neko and the Mount Fuji!
