A vase of lillies from this diagram. While making these I thought I was not folding them correctly since i kept ending with the exposed white side as a stripe. It wasn't until I looked at them from a distance that i realized that it actually looked like a natural stripe of color. I think most Lilys that are striped this way would actually be light colored with the stripe being the dark color - but no matter I like the result.
I found your blog through a mention by your wife on Ravelry. These flowers are gorgeous, My 16 year old daughter has shown an interest in learning Origami and I have saved this file for her. Hope you hip recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The Tulip (next post) is a bit easier to fold - although I'm sure your daughter will be able to master the lilies if she chooses to start with it. A Hint for her: I always practice folding with plain scrap paper first; besides not wasting the more expensive paper its often easier to fold with larger sheets then the 6 x 6 origami paper. Once you get a few practice models done the final ones are easy.
