I'll be off for two - three weeks. I'll be in Italy, those who ordered it, will receive postcards written by my own hand with my own exclusive unreadable handwriting. Dunno how it will be with access to internet so I might be off from dA too. Hope you all will miss me.
Anyway keep your fingers crossed for me guys.
Lots of s for everyone.





So how about V6? Everybody got used to it?
I thought about making a poll, but then again, everybody did it so since I'm very lazy person I figured out it would be much easier to get all the V6 polls together and put them here.
If you know other big poll on V6 tell me, I'll include it here.
Also promised features.

FEATURES:

Some people plays with them, some people loves them, some people ignore them, and some people are at the moment bitten by them.

But no matter how big or small or animals depends on us and deserve our love, care and respect.

At about age of 10 I found something that I've spent a hours on. I was fascinated how from the quite flat paper you can create 3D animals, planes, flowers and much much more.
Now I got lots of books about origami and occasionally I still create some figures. (I usually did it while sitting on some boring classes what got me attention of all people sitting near and also being bored to the bones. )
To my surprise here, on dA, origami is almost not popular at all. There are some people who do this and are being watched but not many. SOOO we need to change that! Every piece of origami you do I will feature in my journal, but PLEASE make a decent photo!

Lets see what an expert has to say about it - lets listen to the Wikipedia.

"Origami - is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper,and using only one piece of square paper.

Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs the most well known being the japanese paper crane. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. Contrary to most popular belief, traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era (1603-1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper during the creation of the design." - Wikipedia

Here's what I've found on dA. Some of those works took hours and they got awfully little of favs and even pageviews!
