After having folded and decorated origami cranes daily for 1000 consecutive days (see my previous post on Bored Panda), I took a short break, but I could not stop creating new ones, even though no longer on a daily basis.

I am allowing myself to explore more themes and techniques, and to find inspiration in even more places.

These are some of my latest creations. Some are inspired by things like Greek mythology and Japanese folklore, while others come from the joy of nature, or personal experiences.

This is probably more Kirigami than Origami. According to a couple of websites, "Kirigami is similar to origami in that it is a form of paper art. The major difference is that in origami, you fold paper whereas in kirigami, you fold and cut paper." Still gorgeous!

おりがみ (origami) literally means folding paper in 日本語 (japanese)

okay, question- after he made 1000 of these things, what the actual hecky dizzle did he do with them? first of all they probably take up a lot of space considering there's 1000 of them but also they're so delicate so they have to be placed in somewhere safe. I AM CONFUSION

Dragon crane? Love the thorns up the spine. So carefully thought out and placed.

Love this one! For me it symbolizes creativity and works in progress, but still gorgeous along the way.

How does he make it look like leather but still light weight? Impressive.
