Origami it up!

<< < (10/11) > >>

Krina:
Was that directed at me?

I haven't lacquered them (yet). Mostly because I'm not really sure what to use. I wouldn't want the paper to go wavy. I was going to experiment with a few different things, but then I started another project instead. I want to make more of those in the future though, so I guess I'll have to figure something out in the future.

So for now, they're just earrings to be worn indoors or on a sunny day. :)

Victorinia:
When I tried (and failed) to make quilled paper jewelry years and years ago, the instructions said to use a spray varnish, which a quick Google search confirms. A varnish would also strengthen the cranes, although in my experience, origami paper folded that small is generally pretty sturdy. But still, it would be a shame to accidentally crush one, for they are very pretty.

Lines:
Yeah, if you use a spray or lightly brush it on you'll be ok. Considering they are so small though, if you hold them with tweezers and lightly brush on something like Mod Podge you might not crush them. I'm not sure if the force of the spray coming out of a can would blow them away or not.

kitchenraider:
I <3 origami. I've been doing it ever since my mom showed me how to fold a crane out of a napkin at a restauraunt when I was 10.

Orbert:
So it's all her fault!

Seriously though, very cool.  When I see stuff like this, I feel simultaneously impressed and woefully inadequate.
