    Jesus …. how marvellous. Never thought that such things are possible with paper. White paper is very impressing.
    Great work. Congratulations Sipho.

    thanks Andrea, well actually it’s not real paper. it’s tyvek a tear and fire resistant synthetic.

    What kind of Typvek was it? Does it work structurally – I mean how does it hold its shape?
    Your project is really lovely. I am just working on an origami project myself and got stuck with the sort of material to use – thats when I found your and your beautiful project. Would you be able to help me out?
