Jedrilica / Sailboat - tradicionalni model / traditional

info
knjiga / book: "Discover origami"
autor / author: Rick Beech
izdavač / publisher: Hamlyn, 1995
jezik / language: Engleski / English

Jednostavan tradicionalan model, kao stvoren za početnike, a izgleda veoma lepo, može samostalno da stoji i odličan je kada se radi od dvobojnog papira (makar to bila kombinacija sa belim). Ove divne jedrilice sam iskoristila u posebne svrhe, ali o tome drugom prilikom.
Dijagram takođe možete naći na sajtu BOS-a (British Origami Society).

A simple, traditional model, ideal for beginners. It looks very nice, stands on its own and it looks great when made of two-sided paper (even if it is colour+white combination). These cute sailboats were made for a special purpose, but that I'll leave for another post.
Diagrams can also be found on BOS's website.

Teško da je bila prava "radionica" al evo...
Jedna od najboljih stvari u vezi bavljenja origamijem jeste to što usput upoznate mnogo sjajnih ljudi koje inače verovatno nikada ne biste upoznali. Jednog od njih nisam videla dugo vremena, iako ne živimo tako daleko jedno od drugog. Tim pre sam bila baš srećna da se ponovo sretnemo, pričamo o origamiju, o raznim drugim stvarima i provedemo dan u druženju.
Njegovo ime je Miloš i sjajan je kao folder (kako li prevesti ovu reč?). ljubitelj mitskih bića u origamiju, ali i autor originalnih origami figura (poznat po svojim hidrama sa mnogo glava).
Na slici smo Miloš i ja sa čarobnjakom.

Hardly a real workshop but still...
One of the best things about origami, is that it made possible for me to meet so many great people that I'd probably never meet otherwise. One of them I haven't seen in a while, although we don't live so far away form one another. I was more than happy to meet with him again, talk origami, talk everything else and have a great day with a friend.
His name is Milosh, he's a great folder, lover of fantasy and mythical origami creatures, and also a great artist too (known by his multi-headed hydras).
This is us with the wizard!

Božić i Nova godina su još jako daleko, ali ovaj Deda Mraz je baš jako sladak. Mislim da će se on naći na mojim čestitkama ove godine.

It is far from Christmas time, but this Santa is so cute nonetheless. I think I'll definitely use this model for my Christmas cards this year.

Prošlo je puno vremena od mog poslednjeg posta, i, istini za volju, nisam se mnogo bavila origamijem u tom periodu. Ima nekoliko interesantnih modela koje planiram da napravim, ali za sada nastavljam sa modelima iz fenomenalne knjige Jun Maekawa-e. Prvu školjku sam napravila od "običnog" origami papira, pa sam dobila malo više samopouzdanja da isprobam i sjajnu verziju. Nadam se da vam se dopada!

It's been a long time since my last post, and it's true that I haven't been folding very much. I have a couple of interesting models in line for folding, but now I continue with the ones from Maekawa's fabulous book. First conch is folded using "regular" origami paper. Then I felt confident enough to try it in a sparklier fashion. Hope you like it!

Konačno se ostvarila želja moje sestre da održimo mini radionicu za našu tetku kreativku. Ovo su bili njeni prvi koraci u origamiju, ali zato veoma uspešni u šta nismo ni sumnjale. Uz moju sestru u ulozi instruktora, i ja sam po prvi put napravila neke od ovih modela. Prijatna muzika, opuštena atmosfera i šareni papirići, čini se da su pravi recept da se zaboravi na brige. Pokazalo se da je origami prava stvar za hladne zimske večeri.

My sister has finally got her wish to have a mini origami workshop with our creatively oriented aunt. These were her first steps in origami, jet very successful ones - just as we have anticipated. With my sister as an instructor, I too have folded some of these models for the first time. Fine music, relaxed atmosphere and colourful papers seem to be the recipe to forget all one's worries. It turns out that origami is a great past time for cold winter evenings.
