Origami čestitke za venčanje / Origami wedding cards

Krajem aprla i početkom maja ove godine, dvojica mojih kolega sa posla (od koji je jedan moj šef) su se oženila. Za naš mali tim to je bilo stvarno nešto, i ja sam bila više nego srećna da se ponudim da napravim čestitke za oba događaja.
Odlučila sam da čestitke "začinim" tako što ću koristiti origami za njihovo ukrašavanje. Kao što verovatno već znate, origami ždralovi se često vide na venčanjima jer se veruje da donose sreću, pa su zbog toga ždralovi bili logičan izbor za ovu priliku. Drugi takođe logičan izbor je bilo i origami srce. Za pravljenje modela sam koristila specijalnu vrstu origami papira - yuzen chiyogami, koji je prelep i ima zanimljivu teksturu. Modeli koje sam napravila su bili tradicionalni ždral (prva čestitka) i simetrično srce od Matthew Gardiner (druga čestitka).
Mislim da su ove čestitke lep primer koliko je origami primenjiv i kako se mogu napraviti divne stvari istovremenom primenom različitih tehnika.

In late April and early May this year two of my colleagues from work (one of them my boss) got married. In our smallish team it was a very big deal and I was more than happy to offer to make cards for both of the occasions.
I've decided to give it a twist and use origami to ornate the cards. As you probably already know, origami cranes are frequently seen on weddings, because they are believed to bring happiness, and so the cranes were a very obvious choice to use on a wedding card. Heart was an obvious choice too. I've made the models from yuzen chiyogami paper, that is very beautiful and has great texture too. Origami models were traditional crane (card no.1) and balanced heart by Matthew Gardiner (card no.2).
I think that this is a nice example how origami can be used for many purposes and to create great projects by mixing different techniques.

Evo primera kako svako može napraviti svoje praznične čestitke uz pomoć origamija.
Prvo sam napravila nekoliko jelki i kocki koristeći šarene papire. Zatim sam ih rasporedila kako mi se sviđalo i to fotografisala. Konačno, možete koristiti neki alat za editovanje slika: obojite pozadinu, ubacite fotografiju, napišete par reči i gotovo! Uopšte nije teško a ipak je efektno, lepo i vaš je originalni rad.
Ja sam ove čestitke slala emailom, a mogu se i odštampati i slati poštom.

This is how one can make teir own holiday greeting cards using origami.
First I've folded several trees and baubles in different colours. Then I've made a setting as I liked and took a picture of the whole. Finally, one can use a picture editing tool to: add some background, insert the photo, write a few words and viola! Not too difficult but still effective, pretty and your own original work.
I've send these via email, but one could also print a card and mail it.

Moja drugarica Gabriela koja me je i naučila kako se prave sonobe moduli, koristila je slične ukrase za njenu jelku. Ideja mi se jako dopala pa sam i sama napravila ove ukrase. Svi ukrasi su napravljeni od 12 sonobe modula.

My friend Gabriela, who thought me the sonobe unit, used sonobes for decorating her Christmas treee. I loved the idea and so I made my own sonobe Christmas tree decorations. All of the decorations are 12-unit assemblys.
