I Always Think Of Origami,

as being Japanese,

but Brazilian origami artist Jo Nakashima has turned that notion on its head,

His creations require just a single sheet of double-sided paper and some patience, Nakashima makes the eagle with pleated wings, quacking duck, and writhing snake,

for more information go to YouTube for detailed instructions on folding your own versions of his intricate designs, but take note of his warning: “Although I call it ‘simplified,’ it doesn’t mean it is simple: it is just simpler than the original version, but actually it is still a bit complex.” but it still looks great fun to try, and all for the cost of just one sheet of paper!
