ORIGAMI - "BIRTH OF VENUS"
Designed and Folded by me from a single uncut square sheet of bicolored tracing paper (White/Orange & Black/Gold)
Sheet Size: 25cmX25cm
Final Size: 8cm
40x40 Grids Boxpleated
I'd been wanting to fold this for so long, and thanks to Ynon's CFC Challenge, finally got around completing this. Why Venus? Due to these stories I'd read sometime ago -
1st - Simonetta, the Renaissance Model, causing heartbroken Amerigo Vespucci to go on a voyage to the New World - lending his name to the "Americas" (legend)
2nd - November 7, 1357, Sienna ordered removal of Venus statue "because it seems indecent", and thought this idol worship had caused Sienna to be under attack (history)
3rd - Boticelli burning many of his "sinful" paintings at the February 7, 1497 Bonfire of Vanities, except "Birth of Venus" (legend)
For the Black/Gold fold, I'd taken inspiration from this -

Something I'd seen on twitter.
Color change is useful here. Everyone's beautiful!
[That's why I'm submitting 2 folds of the same design]
Having said that, I seem to have butchered the faces. But still, I'm happy with the design. A bigger paper will solve this problem :)
Hope you all like it!
