Bird of Paradise

During the holidays there were a few tables to decorate. I stumbled upon the fact that I can not really do any neat napkinfolds. I decided to change that and looked at one website or another and discovered the bird of paradise. My favourite napkinfold so far. Folding napkin differs quite a bit from paperfolding and there are interesting things that napkins can do which paper can’t. I’m always happy to find knew areas of folding. Below you find the tutrial I mad efor the bird of paradise. enjoy!

Akira Yoshizawa – Wikipedia Article

Akira Yoshizawa Origami Master

A few weeks ago I decided to improve the Origami related articles on Wikipedia. So far I was able to write the  Akira Yoshizawa article in German from scratch. Also I improved the English one. My thanks go out to the people of the origami mailing list that provided pictures.  Especially to Peter Engel, who donated a image of the master to illustrate the article.

I hope that some of you take up the ball and help me improve the Wikipedia on the matter of Origami. Every Article of famous folders could use some love, especially concerning good sources.

– I will keep you updated and  wish you good folds.
