origami
A simple concept of cutting and folding some paper....but when carefully placed on the water....the result is more than mesmerizing & simply beautiful to watch.
Here's the video showing an array of shapes made by the artist, Etienne Cliquet:

This is something I just stumbled upon..it's from 2009, but still pretty freakin' amazing!
This whole line designed by Alexandra Verschueren reminds me everything great and fun about elementary school. You know...doodling with color pencils and folding & cutting with paper using mix array of line papers...all the things I love to do at school!
Except all these pieces are simply stunning and are WAY more amazing than your typical school craft project covered in Elmer's glue..at least mine was like that!
I especially love seeing the stylized sketches and swatch boards... 
I'm obsessed with general office & school supplies...and I'm especially drawn to the graphic quality of grid & line paper of all sort. So I think it's freakin' brilliant that Verschueren has turned such ubiquitous graphic into high-end textile prints...and on top of that with all the added colorful hand drawn/hand painted texture!
....It's all just too cool for school.
I've been eying on these origami pillows on UO for awhile now...must get. Actually I already ordered it!! I'm not always this compulsive, but I have a good feeling about these pillows....very good feeling.
Ever since I saw the magical origami animation I can't stop thinking about...so much that I had to get these pillows to sleep on it. It just brings back all the great childhood memories of doing origami....oh the satisfying feeling lining up to corners and making perfectly creased crips edges.....mmmm...crispy paper edges...
