Morigami - Money Origami

<div style="text-align: justify;">Next time your were bored or lonely inside LRT while travelling to office or back home, you know what to do. Just take out your money and fold it into something cool. Might be an awesome way to catch other commuters attention though.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Origami, from <i>oru</i> meaning folding, and <i>kami</i> meaning paper, is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper, or in this case, a single dollar bill, hence the name money origami.  The creativity of the little critters that people have designed from their currency is astounding: the one-eyed crab below is even borderline frightening.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The most amazing thing about them is that they're all made from real money. An exploration of our relationship with money and our response to it, in a political, moral and social sense, whilst also exploiting the physical beauty of the note. All the papers presented were conducted with notes of 1 or 2 dollars and any one of them is exceptional. So, the next time you’re bored and sitting on a subway train, take out your wallet let your imagination run wild.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7_79PWYLa873md3c0TJshrxyjJmO1DelZuiA0KvSE0fMIauZqKnCQtotw1QU8CyPc_-xLi7-4y-5O1Nc7qEU2cIuVifAZUZgYHQbmUT86pC02aHYn-HbDXKuCgK_2ESz74ifJLB5Q_RC/s1600/moneyorigamipig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7_79PWYLa873md3c0TJshrxyjJmO1DelZuiA0KvSE0fMIauZqKnCQtotw1QU8CyPc_-xLi7-4y-5O1Nc7qEU2cIuVifAZUZgYHQbmUT86pC02aHYn-HbDXKuCgK_2ESz74ifJLB5Q_RC/s1600/moneyorigamipig.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkAnoIX3qHvJAAFQ8wd32mrm4ZEn8ukGDYL7kNhaPstSo8jqN1nWm3bZiVvWIPsY9SkhNvYMjZAPZ_pfH7qkLjtT7CK2PLh6Mo1b8PSk7LxS1kSQL0n4OLoHhiL1LN0eFveRCRaOxDoPKf/s1600/moneyorigimai.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkAnoIX3qHvJAAFQ8wd32mrm4ZEn8ukGDYL7kNhaPstSo8jqN1nWm3bZiVvWIPsY9SkhNvYMjZAPZ_pfH7qkLjtT7CK2PLh6Mo1b8PSk7LxS1kSQL0n4OLoHhiL1LN0eFveRCRaOxDoPKf/s1600/moneyorigimai.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/morigami-money-origami.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

2 Million Origami Cranes

<div style="text-align: justify;">After the Japan earthquake the nonprofit Bezos Family Foundation invited children from around the world to mail origami cranes to its Seattle headquarters, promising to donate USD 2 per crane to the relief efforts, up to to USD 200,000. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few days later a truck arrived filled with thousands of cranes. And then another truck. And then another. Eventually over 2,000,000 cranes arrived at the steps of the non-profit and the organization doubled its donation. Paper cranes made from math homework, hall passes, love letters, Saran wrap, Kleenex, candy wrappers, and restaurant menus. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Brooklyn-based Brazilian artist Vik Muniz then take the cranes and making something incredible with them. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh9x-65S_-CwSE3JF9kojGDjBSExFMJjJAeWL39nAwAOJqx_wi2GqmGACkQ-H1nvjTeggtM4PHXsVwsyak71AR23_GBzjOJGbaUSAJbF3kYFfXh0Ksumsi_HmdaIKa33liah14WsvZIEoA/s1600/crane2.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh9x-65S_-CwSE3JF9kojGDjBSExFMJjJAeWL39nAwAOJqx_wi2GqmGACkQ-H1nvjTeggtM4PHXsVwsyak71AR23_GBzjOJGbaUSAJbF3kYFfXh0Ksumsi_HmdaIKa33liah14WsvZIEoA/s640/crane2.bmp" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqJyfzNuMTSVfnOXitUSuwazOFyKOqyVG-o0IwlaNs6_KuJMJauYsCMMxoeAnqGJcVU2dBJWwT07IsaS0fn9Tzmp5oAb6jPNk4M1XWkAeHqAjPyFTALtmFli5lKxu3E60IX4squnw0FrJ/s1600/crane1.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqJyfzNuMTSVfnOXitUSuwazOFyKOqyVG-o0IwlaNs6_KuJMJauYsCMMxoeAnqGJcVU2dBJWwT07IsaS0fn9Tzmp5oAb6jPNk4M1XWkAeHqAjPyFTALtmFli5lKxu3E60IX4squnw0FrJ/s640/crane1.bmp" width="640" /></a></div><br />Source from <a href="http://thisiscolossal.com/2011/08/origami-crane-made-from-2000000-origami-cranes-a-flapping-success-for-japanese-earthquake-relief/">This Is Collossal</a>
