Originally developed to wrap decorative fans or kelp in handmade paper, correctly folded origata can tell you about the relationship between the sender and receiver or the event the gift forecasts.

The Origata Design Institute honors the legacy of origata by resurrecting and reinventing traditional folding techniques.

The work is spectacular.

Elsa Mora is hard at work! She is probably best known for her detailed paper cuts, but I really enjoyed the execution and arrangement of her porcelain work below.

She is making lovely work in a variety of mediums, so go have a look!

Wow. I wonder what technique this artist uses to make this paper drape so elegantly. This must take a truly sincere amount of patience and dedication.

Peter Callesen cuts and assembles paper with skill. I really enjoy his presentation of the cut sheet along with the sculpture. It’s both precise and delicate; I find it interesting how he uses this context to play between 2d and 3d, drawing and sculpture - a remarkable effect.
