Spotted

This week I happened to spot a bunch of origami inspired items. It's amazing how many different things you can make with the ancient Japanese folding technique. Here are a few:

I am just in love with this necklace! It is so subtle, yet intricate and very cute as well.


Isn't this brooch amazing?! I suppose beetles are the closet thing to origami in nature, but I'm still really impressed by how this was made.


I love how elegant and delicate this skirt looks.


This crane bird is actually a little lamp.

Not something for every day, but it sure makes an amazing statement necklace.


Isn't this elephant brooch adorable? It reminds me very much of the circus.


I bet this lamp would look wonderful in my new home!


Not only is this necklace beautiful, the money made from it will also go to a good cause!


Believe it or not, but these origami heels are actually wearable.


I really love this dress, especially the back looks very unique.


Can't have a collection without an owl now, can we? I thought this print would fit right in.


Another clever and intricate idea for a necklace!

 And last, but not least, a beautiful little keepsake box.

  3. Love the lamp! Have you seen the origami documentary on Netflix? It's called Between the Folds. Pretty interesting!

  4. Great pieces - there's also a rather expensive origami boat bag on ASOS by Moschino Cheap & Chic. I had to feature it on my weekly wish list! :) x
