Fold with Midori!!

OrigamiWorkshopbyMidori

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?

Endless possibilities

Many different Origami Boxes are available

Origami Box

Responded to the request for the origami box workshop.
I have been searching for the origami boxes which are something easy and quick but look impressive…
There are so many different origami boxes I can teach for the beginners.
I think these boxes in the image (Photographed by Midori) are very cool! (and surprisingly steady and strong.)

Refreshing my memory is also fun and makes me very excited!

Would you like to fold them with me?!
