Thursday Photo Challenge - Patterns
Topic: Thursday Photo Challenge
crocuses
Crocuses

This week, (I know, I'm late posting this) for the Thursday Photo Challenge the challenge is Patterns, textures...My first thought was to photograph some of the origami objects I've made over the years from papers I've decorated. The tiny books in the back are an inch high.

Then while working on this week's project for the adult watercolor class I teach, I realized the pattern on the crocuses fit perfectly with the theme too. So, you see them first.

It amazes me how pleasing it is to get comments on my posts, and compliments to boot. I'm so glad you liked them. Thank you.

Do you know, you've seen those exact origami cranes and books before - back in 1991 perhaps. You may remember me making origami bird mobiles for Christmas, out of hand decorated paper. That was when I did these. I can remember opening the box of tinies and showing them to you and yours. I even had a crane that was perhaps 3/8". It is hiding in the picture. And now you've given them several extra dimensions in their second? reincarnation.
