NotesTHE MOVERS AND SHAKERS OF ORIGAMI:
(Credited to: bomoarts)
These pieces are beautiful! I would have categorized them in ‘Beautiful Things’; however, reading on, I learned about the artist, Kristi Malakoff, who has definitely left a beautiful fingerprint on the world of origami, especially with the currency pieces above. Read what bomoarts said below:
Sweet Mother of Origami
I may get a bit hyperbolic here, but bear with me, I really dig this!
Polyhedric origami is unbelievably complex and ridiculously challenging to construct, trust me, I lived with someone obsessed with it. I have seen plenty of origami structures that look like a team of engineers put it together, however, versatile artist Kristi Malakoff has really brought origami to the next level. Each piece goes beyond the structure and every individual piece of paper becomes a crucial part of the design. By using the array of colors and fine detail found on world currencies she achieves an intricate level of detail that has me completely forgetting that I have other work to do today. I wonder how much time she spent researching each country’s bills to find the right complimentary tones in order to achieve the wonderful illustrative quality in each piece.

Anonymous asked: What is your favorite origami piece to fold?
That is actually a tough question. I love it all, really. <3
But, you see, the result is why I fold. I obviously don’t fold paper just to fold paper. It can become very tedious.
I’d have to say, I’m in love with the traditional origami crane. It looks pretty, and it’s incredibly easy to fold compared to others. (:

NotesMy name is Morgan Edwards, and I love origami.
I’ve been
chasingfolding paper ever since I had an art class in 8th grade. It was there I had an unlimited supply of perfectly squared, colored origami paper, and a students origami art project, a bouquet of brightly folded irises, to be inspired by. I didn’t have any other reason besides my apparent curiosity to learn that drove me to check out a library book on origami, sneak paper out of the cabinet, and learn to fold some things. After staring at those beautiful flowers, I had to learn how to make them, and I did. I folded just about everything in that book. I gave them away, and I taught other kids in my classes. It was fun—something I did on the side if I felt like sneaking some paper. (;So, here I am now finishing off my 11th grade year in high school. A year, I am quite proud of. Doing very well in school this year is great, really, but I love more the fact that throughout this year, I have really developed who I am, and what I love—even when it’s completely different than everyone else. Along with many other things, origami has become one of the things I use to describe me. It’s one of my favorite and most rewarding hobbies. And it is my pleasure to step forward and share my love for it with the world. (:
Thank you for visiting my blog! I genuinely appreciate it! (: <3
