Jet's Orchid
Originally uploaded by Liralen Li.

It never ceases to amaze me what Jet can create with nothing but a few blobs of paint and some paper. He did this in art class a few weeks ago and then came home and carefully cut out quarter sheets of paper, plopped a few drops of primary colored tempura paints on them and then folded them.

I think this one is my favorite, as it looks an awful lot like an orchid.

He calls them his "bugs" and they drew antennae, eyes, and legs on them in class. So they were a lot more detailed in class.

I'll admit that I love just the raw patterns of paint on this paper...

Oh, that's really keen! And very pretty. And it does look like an orchid.

..and now I'm tempted to go try it myself. :)

Me, too!

Just fold it on both the horizontal and then on the vertical and you get this kind of thing. :-)
