J \Chapter I
FLOWERS
Here are presented diagrams of seventeen different flowers from simple to
complex, stalks, branches, grass and five types of leaves.
If you are a novice to origami, begin from
the simplest diagrams of flowers such as
Beliflower, Yuris and Jasmine, mastering which,
you can gradually move on to more difficult
and complex designs.
If you feel confident in this art, you can
move on to most of flowers in this chapter and
take a challenge to try the complex models.
And, lastly, if you are already a
connoisseur of origami - you can satisfy your
interest folding such models of flowers as, for
example, Orchids, Morning Glory, and Roses.
In general, stalks, grass, leaves and
sepals are very good when made from thick
copy paper. This way, they will keep needed
lines and shapes.
For most of flowers, it's very good to
use regular copy paper, thinner ones, or any
strong and thin paper in one-color. It’s
especially recommended for making all
Orchids and Roses.
Some flowers are good from two-color
paper, because the second side of the paper
has its own role in the total flower design.
These flowers are Bellflower, Dahlia, Lobelia,
and Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea).
Try your hands at folding to depict
flowers in paper. Give the flowers a natural
shape by rolling petals’ tips or bending them
slightly. Shape stalks, giving them a living
form. So, work like a sculptor; form the whole
paper plant to look alive. The colors and
paper texture are also very important for the
whole model. Experiment with form, color,
paper, and, surely, you will have great
pleasure.
