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

Hedgehogs

These are two Venus kusudamas, with a small modification: tops are up!
They look like hedgehogs to me. :)
