Origami Blossoms in Opatija

Camellia Festival in a majestic touristic gem Opatija hosted origami workshops. I was invited
by the Camellia Lovers Association to teach origami in the magnificent Villa Angiolina.

Festival kamelija u čuvenom turističkom biseru Opatiji ugostio je radionice origamija.
Bila sam pozvana iz  Udruge ljubitelja kamelija poučavati origami u predivnoj Villi Angiolini.

 

I also brought diagrams for my Camellia Japonica with me,
in case any experienced origami artists came along.

Ponijela sam i dijagrame za svoju Camelliu Japonicu,
u slučaju da naiđu iskusni origamisti.

We folded traditional Japanese camellias and origami models as desired.
Paper birds flapped, grasshoppers and frogs jumped, and faces lit up with smiles.

Savijali smo tradicionalnu japansku kameliju i origami modele po željama.
Zalepršale su papirnate ptice, poskočili skakavci i žabice, a lica se ozarila osmijehom.

 

 And after the workshops, a walk along the enchanting seafront promenade...

 A iza radionica, čarobna šetnja obalom...

Goodbye, wonderful Opatija!

Doviđenja, Opatijo bajna!
