engl. symmetry – Symmetrie, Ebenmaß Nachdem ich nun einige Zeit unmotiviert in der Stadtim Dorf unterwegs war, auf der Suche nach Fachwerkgiebeln, Brunnenornamenten und schönen Hauseingängen und schließlich einigermaßen frustriert wieder zu Hause ankam, musste ich feststellen dass sich die schönsten Symmetrien doch schon die ganze Zeit vor meiner Nase befanden.
Everything is better with a frame around
There’s a cat in my flat. A folded origami cat. A tesselated origami cat. This cat.
Once more an origami post
I found two picture from my early origami days when I started out with a mass production of simple bird and butterfly patterns.
Origami …
… is not good for me. Sadly not in the oh-my-god-I’m-so-obsessed-I-hardly-do-anything-other-than kind of way. Sometimes I have trouble with my right hand.
