Fold with Midori!!

OrigamiWorkshopbyMidori

My origami workshop video from the Japanaroo Opening Night is now available to everyone!
The simple bird and Ninja star are traditional origami but I created the variations with my own ideas.
Eastern Spinebill is the bird on the Australian $5 note.
There are more than 180 species of Honey Eaters in the world and 80 of them live in Australia. Eastern Spinebill is one of them.
Do you know the bird on the $5 note flaps its wings if you tilt the note back and forth?

They told me that I was chosen to be one of them because I have received the award in 2016, I am so delighted to be in it.

In 2016, I received a Consul-General’s Commendation award for my work towards origami.
I have been working very hard but it was a surprise that the government recognised me.
I’m still doing my best and enjoying the origami.

Thank you very much, everyone! I couldn’t do without your support.
