Origami Fantasy Art - Astonishing Work by Eric Joisel
Origami artist Eric Joisel has some astonishing pieces of paper art on his website, such as this group from The Lord of the Rings, Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas.
They’re folded from one uncut square of paper for each model and look like they’re molded out of stone!
“Origami often looks as if it’s “magic”. From the time I was a child, I have always been fascinated by the world of Tolkien and faeries. So as an adult dedicating my life to origami, you could suppose I continue act out as a child living in my fantasy world. “

“Young designer Reiko Kaneko’s homewares offer a playful visual twist on familiar phrases or verbal puns with extraordinary results. Part of the furniture, egg soldiers – these curious everyday phrases take on new meanings when applied to her work.”
