Alma Haser graduated with a photography degree just three years ago from Nottingham Trent University, but her works have already traveled to ten international exhibitions. In her Cosmic Surgery photo series, Haser photographs her subject, prints multiple images of the portrait shots, folds these images into an origami structure, sticks the origami on the subject’s face, and then takes the final shot including the subject matter’s now mangled-up face. Super cool.

This scarf is the perfect combination of Japanese paper folding and fashion. It can be formed into almost any shape, and it will hold its shape as long as it’s being worn. The origami scarf is made from a special fabric that feels like paper, enhancing the origami feel.

Martin Hunt started to make his own origami models while studying math at Southampton University. Eschewing traditional Japanese forms, he began replicating classic Star Wars space ships and fighters. He now has more than 20 creations derived from the blockbuster George Lucas film franchise.

Hunt shares some of his designs already through his website and on YouTube, but he’s taking his origami creations to the wider world. In October, he exhibited some large scale versions at the London MCM Expo and Comic Con and is seeking a publisher to release a book of diagrams for his designs.

Moscow-based architect Peter Kostelov has created an origami-inspired house for Russian television show Dachniy Otvet in which the client and architect only met once before construction. The brief for the house specified that it was to be a summer home for enjoying outdoor activities and hosting parties. The owner also specified it wasn’t to be a basketball court. Talk about leaving room for creative license.

Origami is the ancient Japanese art of folding thin paper into animals, flowers or whatever object your skills allow. Obviously the artist Marc Fichou shares the love to Origami and celebrated it with his own series of animals. The fascination lies in the reversible process of folding and unfolding, but still retaining the physical marks, he says.

A new addition was added to my iTunes library today, Between The Folds, a stunning documentary about the Art of Origami. Thinking back to my own amateur projects in school, when we made little yellow swans and blue stars, I am amazed at what is behind the art of great folding. The mathmatical patterns behind one sheet paper-folding, in particular, is mind-blowing.

Forget origami. Ribbonesia is the brainchild of Japanese artist ‘BAKU’ Maeda, who has moved away from brush and pen in favor of ribbons and fabric, which he turns into adorable animals.

I was feeling kind of picky this morning, searching for just the right thing to itch that Monday morning scratch. The beautiful origami like collages of London illustrator Kate Slater really did it. The fact that they’re 3D makes you convinced that you might actually be able to crawl inside one of them and reclaim a small bit of your childhood dangling delicately from marionette-like strings and casting shadows like a still from a puppet show.
