The 2nd Library Display (Dec 2016)

  • IMG_1562 (1).JPG

This year I had another origami library display. On display on the top shelf was a mini origami library complete with miniature origami books and bookshelves, a family of dinosaurs, two toucans, and a penguin family. On the middle shelf were various roses of different hues with leaves, two different types of butterflies, three lilies with a leaf, and two flowers (pink and yellow/blue) of my own design, inspired by Benjamin Coleman’s Basic Flower Base. On the bottom shelf was a modular origami Helica Kusudama, three octagon boxes, five Hydrangea ribbon boxes. There was also a night scene, complete with a sun, a moon, and five stars. The sun and the moon (and of course, the stars) were each folded from one uncut, unglued square of paper. I enjoyed making the miniature books the most, because I adored how tiny the covers were, and that there were ten turnable pages where I could write anything I wanted!
