This was also a 3rd year person's final piece that caught my eye the degree show. What I appreciate about these paper folding pieces is their structure and how delicate their structure is to keep. The intricacy that comes with creating a piece like this is unbelieveable and difficult to create, from these photographs that I took; design, structure and the 3-dimensional aspect from creating origami pieces is evident.
I wanted to know whether I could create origami pieces as intricate as these, so I created some of my own pieces by starting off slow and following the directions given step by step. My first attempt was making a rose which went disastrously wrong so I made another attempt at making a 'star wreath'. After over 20 instrcutions and half an hour of struggling to link it altogether, my results were impressive. It actually looks like a 'star wreath' and I was very pleased with the results.
I was very apprehensive about starting to create a '5 petal flower' as it was said to be more difficult than the 'star wreath'. After a long time has passed and the repetitive moves had been complete, the assemblement I find is the most difficult part of the process. Once this was completed, it looked great, however keeping it's structure was proven difficult as each time it was moved it kept coming undone from the centre. I do love the end result of origami but getting there is a struggle, the 3-dimensional finish is beautiful and gives off a better quality than a 2-d shape
