It is African made but from The Japanese art world. It’s the Origami Sculptures which have now officially launched on Kickstarter.
Origami is a Japanese art form of transforming paper into an art piece.
Follow this campaign and learn how a South African born and bred has perfected the art of paper. Through her successful art exhibitions which lead to the best product awards at the Kamers Market in South Africa, Mo is raising funds to showcase more of her art abilities in New York.
It is a rigorous 6 hour long process of making this swan sculpture. Paper is cut into pieces, folded accordingly and put together in a swan shape before it is glazed with glue to give it the much needed hold and shine.
Apart from being a beautiful art piece to look at, this item has the practicality of a storage facility.
It’s usages include stationery holder for the work and office space, make up holder for the ladies and gentlemen that like to add an innovative touch to their make up areas, and is also popular with the young who are using this very same swan as a jewelry holder.
So how does an African born and bred in South Africa perfect the Japanese art? She gets this talent from a former Japanese roommate whom she’d learned the art from more than a decade ago. Now looking to showcase her art around the world, Mo is seeking your pledge to make that dream a reality. Her Kickstarter video showcases the rigorous process in a profound way and her hard work and dedication coupled with her perfect swan sculptures is the reason why people keep reaching out for this item. Check out the link to her campaign for pictures, videos and what others have to say about this exciting innovation.
