Origami + Blur + 80s = Nice Free Decorations

It all started with Origami, the ancient Japanese technique for folding paper. 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.
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 form is probably 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.

Martin a couple of weeks ago did a beautiful post about “got milky?“, the animated character on Blur’s video and yesterday i was surfing the net and came across a site that has many other designs like that.
Also to my surprise I discovered that there is an entire movement dedicated to DIY paper toys, they even have their own social network!.
The ones that i will be featuring here are modern and following the new aesthetics that “grown up” toys have, but there is a long and beautiful gallery for regular ones here.

The first one is of course a commodore 64.

Then we have an 80s videogame system

And finally the old pong.

You can find more of them here.
