In the North display top center shelf: Here were special items! I wanted to keep this pretty simple. Notice the glass chrismas ornament with the crane inside & a dusting of snow at the bottom ! I added foil cranes, & special design ornaments from Origami Designs. A display of (tradition Japanese origami) would not be complete without the wonderful Lucky Cat (Maneki Neko) with the added tiny gold crane perched proudly on his upraised paw. A special crane (designer paper) with tassel hangs from the center of this area above. |
In the bottom of the middle Here - proudly displayed - is the little "Charlie Brown" tree that was made for a prime time TV drama as a prop. The little tree was decorated with miniature models of origami toys, birds, cubes, peacocks, fish, penquins, fortune tellers & many more models. I folded some from medical paper from the TV set. Hanging on both sides of the tree are very special unit pieces & the origami hanging string made from mylar paper, into unit pieces. In the snow at the bottom are more models of special miniature foil birds, & cranes & traditional Japanese fans. Each side of the tree has different origami items. The hanging item on the right with a pink tassel also makes a nice ornament for a larger tree. This tree stopped many a passerby for a better looksee! |
