Romania and its talented origami artists

Romania has many talented origami artists. I discover this everyday, wandering the Romanian Origami Forum. Their work, their models and their dedication makes me feel proud and happy and sometimes I find myself starring in amazement at their photos.
It happened just the other day, when I visited the gallery of Cristina Leau, an 18-year-old art-student, whose paperwork for degree was a project called "The magic of paper". For this, she designed a beautiful and amazing dress, using tessellations and made entirely out of paper.
Here are some photos:

And here is a nice video that presents all her work:





Congratulations Cristina!

My little big Oriro

I started working on this model a while ago...folding all the modules during the courses at University, or on the way to University, in the subway :) and I glued them at home.
I had a lot of help from my friends, Alexandra, Flory and Nineta, whom I thank a lot!
The model contains 90 pieces of Oriro, 180 modules for Morning Glory and 32 Venuses and has an approximate diameter of 15 centimeters.
