I've been studying origami for about five years. It straddles the world of both Mathematics and Art. These days I get more pleasure out of trying and failing to fold something very complicated, than I do from looking at a finished model.
Sometimes you have to perform folds that are so complex and the way the paper moves under your fingers and then falls into place, if you're doing it right, is beautiful in itself.

Most of these models will have been folded from a single sheet of square paper. No cuts will have been made.
