Origami : Slave's New Art Form.

So budget is a little tight this year for x mas seeing how I have been in school for over half a year and not working. I decided to get creative in gifts this year and give art out instead.

I'll update later on this week with other finished origami pieces as I go along. Currently I have one done and 2 others on the go. Takes me between 15 hrs to 30 hours, due to trial and error >.<

This piece took 120 pieces to make and I just used some wrapping paper, glue, some extra beads I had laying around and some string. Took about 17 hours labour and maybe total 2$ if that. :) The love is in the labour not the cost ofc :P

And another one just finished. This one took several days because I kept gluing the pieces togehter wrong, but the 3rd try worked great and from start to finish (3rd try) only took 6 hrs or so :D

LOL Agi, though they are paper they do tend to get heavy :P I'd totally mail if it wasn't for prices to mail shit >.<

Not to be a downer or anything, cause they are amazing
but isn't the point of origami not to use glue?

It's true, one way or "style" doesn't involve glue or more then one paper. This is a branch off the actual term is called Kirigami, but if I had used that term I'm sure no one would have known what that was ^^ So I used the umbrella word for the paper art that I am doing :D

:crushed: Its ok elle, any way they are beautiful

You learn something new every day
but yeah... want one...

nice stuff Slave!!
time consuming I reckon??

:-))

so thats where u been hiding L:O nice slave i like the color choices :)

Thanks ^^ And yeah, takes a lot of time. I squeeze it in between breaks at work (folding) and once kids go to bed :P

Got a really complicated one coming up, with any luck will be done in the next day or so :)

These things are beautiful Slavey, I really really like their complex look :D

Sick job :) <3

Pfft, I could make one of those in like 5min... one handed. Haha.

Seriously though, looks and sounds complicated, but the end result is pretty unique so it's definitely worth it, good job Slave.

I wanted to make something in tribute to you and Dark btw :P Still trying to find black paper though >.< Also it won't be girlie :P I found it very masculine, once it's made I'll be putting it in the boys room, and it will be my largest piece to date :P

Really wish I was good at taking photos though so that I could make it look nice like Radi does his food shots >.< 2 master pieces in one.

I love you.

Amazing Slave, they're beautiful.

Very beautiful

Sorry to tell you hun ;)

Origami The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami. Paper cutting and gluing is usually considered kirigami.
