Origami Honeyeater Tutorial Video
Oh, I’m very excited to make my first video by myself!!
Please check my video on YouTube, thanks.
You can watch my Online Origami Workshop
Fold with Midori!!
My origami workshop video from the Japanaroo Opening Night is now available to everyone!
The simple bird and Ninja star are traditional origami but I created the variations with my own ideas.
Eastern Spinebill is the bird on the Australian $5 note.
There are more than 180 species of Honey Eaters in the world and 80 of them live in Australia. Eastern Spinebill is one of them.
Do you know the bird on the $5 note flaps its wings if you tilt the note back and forth?

New venue for the “Virgin Vessels”
Group exhibition continues at North Sydney Council Chamber
When we were restricted to our homes, it was time for me to clean up in my studio.
Most of my schedule of the workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions were cancelled or postponed, I have plenty of time to relax and do my own projects.
One side is closed, then the other opportunity has arrived. 25 members of the Primrose Paper Art group were given the space to exhibit the collaboration work at Project 2060: Home Ward Bound at Coal Loader Centre, North Sydney. 25 of us had learnt to make vessels using paper handmade from recycled paper. The project was great for all the paper artists with all levels of expertise and who work in a variety of mediums, to learn a new form of paper expression.
It was a fun project & a big exhibition. (The report and photo was in my blog on March 2021)
After that, we moved to a new venue at InTransit Art Space, North Sydney Council Chambers
1st Floor, 200 Miller Street, North Sydney till 19 July 2021.
Open 9am-5pm, Mon-Friday
Origami at Burberry Sydney
Origami Demonstrations & Workshops at Burberry Sydney
Exciting to be at the Burberry Sydney.
