The mornings seem to be when my mind and focus is at its most acute, so I attempted to make some origami from the pressed orchid petals that came from a friend's garden.
There is a certain respect that you must have when working with natural materials and by hand. The moisture level of the petals was not low enough and the thickness of the petals too high to hold the crease, so I had to abandon plans of making origami cranes and instead go for the butterflies.
Clearly my phone camera was unable to do it any justice, but I hope that this gives you an indication of the work involved and the mental fitness required to create the models.
If you enjoyed the images, please look for articles I have written on the subject of mental fitness and see what you can achieve when your mind is trained in the right way.

Later in the afternoon... finally an origami crane from orchid petals (see next post)!
