Danish origami, made in Romania



A few months ago I met three wonderful danish ( and Scandinavian! ) people: Trine, Camilla and Klaus.
They've been in Romania for more than 5 months, and they're volunteering in a orphanage as part of their educational program.









We've become very close friends and, as all the
people around me, they are now professional
"paper-folders". :)
First of all, Trine taught me how to make a
Danish Christmas Star, which is made out of
four long strings of paper.














And second, they learned how to make some kusudamas, and cranes, and all sorts of origami models. And they folded as many pieces as there were needed for 9 garlands. I glued the pieces together and...this is what it turned out:

ADOR

This is the my second design and I named it after our Origami Association ( Asociatia De Origami Romania - ADOR ).
It is made out of 12 pentagons. The photo diagram is here.

Nothing else matters...

I don't post many things that are not related to paper on my blog, but this one deserves to be seen. :)
It's a "Nothing else matters" cover sang by a Romanian man at cimbalom. It sounds truly amazing.
