3D Origami

In English:

Origami comes from two words. ORI mean Folding and GAMI means Paper. What is 3D Origami? It means that You need identical folded paper pieces, to assemble them together which can tricky. One sheet of copy paper A4 gives 32 folded paper pieces. Using colorful papers to build 3D Origami gives countless number of possibilities to build items in which the imagination is the only limit.

My wife made five very basic 3D origamis. She emphasized to me that these are no “masterpieces”, but experiments. She made one paper swan, two paper flower vases, one paper plate and one jewellery box. After photos I give video links in which You can see how all these are made. Before these video links, I give links how 3D Origami are folded.

En español:

Origami viene de dos palabras. ORI significa plegable y GAMI significa papel. ¿Qué es 3D Origami? Esto significa que usted necesita piezas idénticas de papeles doblados, para construiros juntos así que eso puede se complicado. Una hoja de papel de copia A4 da 32 piezas de papeles doblados. El uso de papeles de colores para construir 3D Origami da infinidad de posibilidades para construir los elementos en los que la imaginación es el único límite.

Mi esposa hizo cinco origamis 3D muy básicas. Destacó a mí que estos no son “obras maestras”, pero los experimentos. Ella hizo un cisne de papel, dos floreros de papel, un plato de papel y una caja de joyería. Después de las fotos me voy Vos dar enlaces de vídeo en la que se puede ver cómo todo esto se hacen. Antes de que estos enlaces de vídeo, doy enlaces cómo se pliegan 3D Origami.

En francais:

Origami vient de deux mots. ORI signifie Pliage et GAMI signifie papier. Qu’est-ce que c’est 3D Origami? Cela signifie que vous avez besoin des morceaux de papier pliés identiques, bien que les assembler qui peut être délicate. Une feuille de papier de copie A4 donne 32 morceaux de papier pliés. En utilisant des papiers colorés pour construire 3D Origami donne un nombre incalculable de possibilités pour construire des choses où l’imagination est la seule limite.

Ma femme a fait cinq origamis 3D très basiques. Elle a soulignée à moi que ils ne sont pas “chefs-d’œuvres”, mais des expériences. Elle a fait un cygne de papier, deux vases de fleurs de papier, une assiette en papier et une boîte à bijoux. Après les photos je donne des liens vidéo dans laquelles vous pouvez voir comment tout cela est fait. Avant que ces liens vidéo, je donne des liens comment les papier pliés 3D Origami sont repliés.

Em Português:

Origami vem de duas palavras. ORI significa dobrável e GAMI significa papel. O que é Origami 3D? Isso significa que você precisa de peças idênticas de papel dobradas, para montá-los em conjunto, que pode ser complicado. Uma folha de papel de cópia A4 dá 32 peças de papel dobrado. Usando papéis coloridos para construir Origami 3D dá um número incontável de possibilidades para construir itens em que a imaginação é o único limite.

A minha esposa fez cinco origamis 3D muito básicas. Ela enfatizou-me que estes não são “obras-primas”, mas experimentas. Ela fez um cisne de papel, duas vasos de flores de papel, um prato de papel e uma caixa de jóia de papel. Após fotos eu dou pra vôce vínculos de vídeo em que você pode ver como todos estes são feitos. Antes desses vinculos de vídeo, eu dou vinculos como Origami 3D são dobradas.

So, this is my recoup project made to order.. See your lovely wife has helped me heal my knees , by way of keeping me busy sitting and crafting… hugs to your wife

  41. Moi!
    Thank you for your beautiful photos.
    “Origami” is Japanese word. And, one of Japanese unique traditional arts.(Not 3D)
    It is the art of folding a sheet of paper into various figures such as birds, animals and many other things without using scissors or paste. Colored sheets of paper which are cut in a square shape are used for this.
    Yes, I can make some animals and things by “Origami”. Very popular ones is “crane”.
    I put how to make “crane” by “Origami” here. Please try it when you have a little time.

  42. What beautiful origami! I can’t even imagine how much work must have gone into those pieces!

    • Hello Amanda.

      You are right. For example it took about one week to make about 1500 pieces for the jewellery box. How long it took to them together, my wife do not remember. 🙂 Very nice comment. Thank You.

      Happy Sunday!

  43. What it is a wonderful swan, and make an industrial art object with origami is fun at all. I can make the swan which opened a wing. Mother made a pot stand. I make an ornamental scented ball(
    薬玉) and enjoy it.

    • Hello そのちゃん.

      Very nice to read that You knew 3D Origami and that Your mother of Your husband has made them. Well, You are not the first thinking that Sartenada is my wife. It is very understandable, because in many languages words ending with a, are feminine and words ending with o, are masculine. Translators give its meaning in English: “1. As much meat or fish as a frying-pan can hold. (f)”.

      I selected the name, because it is very easy to pronounce (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and French for example). 🙂

      良い 週末!

  47. Lovely origami, lovely pictures, and very cool to be in 4 languages. But what about Finnish????!

    Comment by Jane Fritz — May 25, 2015 @ 19:20 | Reply

    • Hi Jane.

      Thank You. Well, my native language is Finnish and in school I learned also German and Swedish. I understand both of them, but not being able to blog in them. When I started blogging in WordPress, I considered in which languages to blog. Finally I decided to use English, Spanish and French. Now I have studied two winters Portuguese, so I added it also.

      Why these languages? They cover huge amount of people in our worlds and I wanted to present to them my “unknown” country showing landscapes, historical places, culture, habits and handcrafts etc. My wife has been great help for me, because she has been beading and quilting.

      Spanish has been great success if checking where my visitors did come. Why not in Finnish? My opinion is that everyone Finn knows his / her county and thus not telling to them things which they know already before is not necessary.

      I have been “international” in my work life and thus this is natural continuation to write in many languages.

      Here is more information:

      About me.

      Have a wonderful day!

  56. I just keep looking again and needing to express more. I think the jewelry boxes are my favorites, although all are exquisite. And, can you tell me more about the table they sit upon? It, too, is an object of great beauty. I am intrigued by both your blog and your wife’s work. You show the same precision and love of detail in your blog that she shows in her art.
