Description
These swans were a Christmas present for my sister's kids. She wanted some contrast to the colors, but still so they fit together so that was what I was aiming for. Plus the actual colors she wanted them to be, which was black and violet... I think they turned out pretty nice.I did not design this origami, nor can I take all the credit for it. I thank jewellia7777 for the great instruction video this was made with! You can find a lot of great tutorial videos from jewellia777 on Youtube so I encourage everyone with interest to find your way there.
3D origami is basically folding small pieces of paper into triangles that fit together to form this rather strong structure. If you're interested, I suggest you find some beginners tutorials on Youtube. Trust me, there's a lot of them!

These are so stunning! I really love the colours - particually the purple + white. They must take ages to make!
After having seen earlier in your gallery though - I really wish they were photographed on a plain background as your first few have been - to really do them justice!!

Thank you for your kind comment. These particular swans take about 5-6 hours each to make, maybe a little longer, from start to the end. That's actually quite fast compared to the bigger ones I've made, but time's always relative I think.
And I know what you mean by the background. I was lucky to get the first pictures against a black background, but am unable to take them like that at this point of time. Plus half the works I've posted were given as a Christmas present (which I managed to finish on the very last night possible...) so I didn't really have time to do anything fancy with the shots; I just took them. But I am actually planning on re-photographing the origami I still kept to myself, making sure to have a plain background. So thanks for that hint; I'll definitely keep that in mind and work my hardest to get the new shots here as soon as possible.
