This being the happy 1st day of the second 6 months of my 28th year, I decided I wanted a bouquet of classic origami irises... but felt limited and displeased by the remaining pieces of my origami paper stash. I decided to lift my artistic flair for creating beauty out of the supply cabinet, to new heights.
Step 1: Take regular white printer paper and fold, cut, form paper into an even square. [ ]
Step 2: Take a THICK black permanent marker used for labelling boxes and doodle my own pattern on remaining square of printer paper. (The black marker gives the effect of traditional Japanese brush calligraphy)
Example:
Step 3: Fold the now-patterned origami paper into the classic origami "Iris". (To find out how to do this, follow the youtube clip posted towards the bottom of this post)
Example: (Click on picture to see larger version)
Step 4: Take flowers and tape them to a piece of wire just stiff enough to form a stem and place them in company logo'd glass or coffee mug. (It's ok, 2 that my company have given me are painted in lead and have stickers saying that they are unsafe for drinking)
Voila! You have yourself a bouquet on your half-birthday. Enjoy!
PS: The girl in the video... "beep beep" indeed.
PPS: Flower #4 in the grid has little x's and o's for you boo :D
