Merry go round

And if you want to go round, talk to Emanuel, the owner:



Only a few months old, and already an origami lover :)

Origami on the sea

Last Sunday i went to have a walk on the cliff with my best friend. When I got there, I was surprised to see the marine military brass band of Japan singing along with the Romanian one.

Japan:



Romania:



Later on I found out that 3 japanese ships - JDS Kashima, JDS Shimayuki, and JDS Yuugiri - arrived in our harbour, as part of their long journey that started in Tokyo on 15 of april and will finish on 8th of september. There will be 16 stops in 14 countries, and Romania was one of them.
On the cliff, I met with Paco and Shrek, two of the Romanian Origami Forum members. We didn't plan any meeting, so we were all surprised to bump in each other. :)
Shrek had his pockets full of paper and since we had in front of us members of the nippon nation, we couldn't stop ourselves from folding. :D
We made 3 cranes and a 6 pieces kusudama that needed no glue:





We gave them as a gift to commandant Kuma Toriya:



The atmosphere on the Black Sea cliff was amazing, full of joy and filled with music and dance:

Origami brings us together

I've been in Bucharest these days and I've met some of the Origami Romania forum members.
I knew that people having a common hobby are likely to get along well, but I never imagined we could become such good friends. :)
What was suppose to be "the first meeting", soon became the second and the third one and I'm sure there are more to come.

So...here we are ( from right to left: Copilutz, Horatiu, Elsix, Adina )



Folding paper was, of course, part of our meeting:



And my favorite, a crane made out of a beer label, by Elsix. :)



And this is an extraordinary humming bird, a gift that I received from Horatiu. :D
