When life gets you down, we swim......Dory

After nearly 6 months, I drew something. My hands were not that steady, I managed to complete Dory. Here's a nice inspiring quote from Finding Nemo.

Corona Grande

Coronavirus has become the talk of the town. News papers, offices, public places, what's app group everywhere there's coronavirus. However this model has nothing to do with Coronavirus though the name sounds similar. I just thought it might just be right time to post this model.

New-Found Hope Star

Origami New-Found Hope Star by Andrey Hechuev

Paper used : 3 inch origami paper

Tutorial by EzOrigami:

This model has an interesting name, New-Found Hope. Well, I did this model after a long time hiatus, nearly two years. I had some bad memory associated with Origami. I threw away all my models that I folded and suspended any further folding. I thought I will never fold. Whenever my heart wished to fold, memories would say No and my hands would panic. Then I took up sketching and drawing. Well I don't have any formal training, it just clicked. And I drew lot many things (sometimes even I wondered how can I draw so many stuff???). Expressing all sorts of emotions - happiness, sadness, disappointment, depression, laughter, funny, not so funny, defeat, victory what not. All those expressions which lacked in origami. I thoroughly enjoyed drawing, I tried little bit of shading looking at youtube tutorials. Some are really challenging. One day I took a look at my blog, though I expressed emotions, they were all colorless. I realized my colorful blog has turned black and white. What an irony I felt. On one hand Origami is colorful but no emotions and on the other drawing is full of emotions but no color. May be each color represent a feeling or something like that. Hmmm...Art is certainly strange!! 

When I started this blog, I had one thing in my mind - Not to write anything personal. Not to mix up art with personal stories. Till today I kept up my decision. However today I decided to write few lines.

I chose this model to come back with Origami since even I need some hope in my life right now. I don't know how much of art I will do, but I look forward to invest more time.
