Origami - Art of Paper FoldingOrigami is an art form that transforms paper into a sculpture through paper folding and sculpting techniques. Thus, cutting or gluing paper would not be considered to be origami, but 'kirigami' instead. The name 'Origami' is Japanese, in which 'Ori' is the Japanese word for folding, and 'kami' the word for paper.
It is generally believed that origami originated from Japan, but, as there are few records, this is not certain. Nevertheless, Japan developed origami into an intense art form that still exists to this day.

Celebrating Diversity #16What is art?

I can assure you that the answer I've chosen for myself is probably not the answer that works for you.

Regardless of the differences our backgrounds and experiences bring to the table there are some universals that pop up across media and eras and what have you.

This time, I've chosen 16 pieces that somehow incorporate the human form.

Creeping Wednesday #14

Welcome to the 14th Creeping Wednesday! Today we will wander around the topic of pin-ups. Thanks to ~JadasArtVision for suggesting the theme and plenty of nice artworks, as usual! The next theme is going to be hair. Please remember that I look for works only done traditionally and relatively not popular.

Today we have a double interview! Let's hear a word or two from ~JadasArtVision and *mashi.
What is that attracts you to traditional art?

~JadasArtVision - I haven't really given much thought to it. Perhaps for convenience. I'm so familiar with it, traditional

Creeping Wednesday #16

It's the 16th Crepping Wednesday and I warn you - put your scarfs on, as a ghastly figure approaches! Today you'll read about Dracula, vampires and nosferatu. The theme was suggested by one of my greatest CW suggesters, ~JadasArtVision. I'd like also send thanks to =Natalia-Luz for suggesting visual work for this issue. The next CW is going to be about Alice in Wonderland -- please, as always, remember that I'm looking for underappreciated works that were done traditionally.

3 questions to ~mygrimmbrother and ~Christopher-Manuel!

What is that attracts you to traditional art?
