Oh, and he digs pigeons so I made this for him. #whiteonriceorigami #colourgami Roman Diaz’ Blue Bar Pigeon folded by Me Fold time: 35mins Paper: Double sided Unyru A photo posted by Ross Symons (@white_onrice) on Oct 23, 2015 at 10:28pm PDT

#290 ‘Cristian and the cranes’ crane In the past couple of days I had the pleasure of telling a number of people a few things about this project. It is just as close to my heart as always, it is still just as personal. Hearing how people feel inspired or motivated to exercise their creativity by what I do is simply exceptional. Thank you for all the love and support! paper, scalpel, glue, watercolour quiet afternoon, my room smells like Mi Goreng instant noodles and mandarines #origami #paperart #project365 #tsuru #senbazuru #1000cranes #grateful #watercolour #scalpel #paperartist #blackswan #feathers A photo posted by Cristian (@icarus.mid.air) on Oct 17, 2015 at 6:22am PDT
