Between the Folds...

Nini and I watched a documentary about origami called "Between the Folds".  It featured some pretty crazy stuff that I never could have imagined possible using paper!  There also were some features on some folks using paper to blend art/science/engineering.  Even a math teacher who uses these intricately folded shapes to teach geometry.  I wish I was able to learn math from him!

Anyways,  I thought I'd share these really beautiful origami sculptures that French artist Eric Joisel made.  Eric started creating origami in 1983 and he became a professional origami artist in 1992.  I'm sad to learn that he passed away from lung cancer on October 10, 2010.  Salut to Eric and merci for spending 27 years dedicated to creating work that definately made the world a much richer place!

All those tiny instruments and musicians are made from folded paper!  No cuts or tears either.  Just folds!
