Origami by Won Park



I received these from a friend in an email and wanted to share them.
How fun would it be to take these to the bank and pull them out at the teller window? I've heard bills referred to as "folding money," but this is crazy!

Origami is the traditional 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 paper.
Won Park  is the master of Origami.  He is also called the "money folder", a practitioner of origami whose canvas is the United States One Dollar Bill.
Bending, twisting, and folding, he creates life-like shapes in stunning detail.
