We just returned from “Toronto’s Talent” show filming, where we were invited to showcase Oriland and origami. We did a display on the stage and were interviewed by Show’s host.
Oriland on the stage of Toronto's Talent
Here are some snapshots of last preparation before the show. Yuri is getting the giant paper sphere ready. (photos by Katrin)
We showed different origami designs and even folded with the host. The show will be on air in autumn. We’ll let you know.
The photo of our Oriland Goblins we took on our Oriland exhibition last year was featured in Toronto Public Library’s What’sOn issue! They asked a permission and of course gave credits – it is always nice to be asked :-)
The Library print more than 75,000 copies each issue so Goblin’s pic will be seen by more than 1,200,000 of library patrons across Toronto! The What’sOn program guide is free and can be picked up here in Toronto in any library branch across the city or some public places, including City Hall.
It’s nice to be published :-)
Here is the original photo from that exhibition.
By the way, we recently did a video of that Oriland exhibition available on-line, so you are all welcome to take a 10-minute virtual tour through one of our Oriland Kingdoms, including those funny monsters :-) at www.oriland.com/portfolio/exhibits/main.asp
After many years of sending such a gift wrapping collection to Oriland lovers and loyal customers, we finally got to the point to make a photo of this :-)
We also occasionally add some free goody to it too – a little Oriland calendar or lately a little Oriland model inside one of CDs :-)
This Oribana Trio Collection consist of:
ORIBANA BEAUTY
ORIBANA CHARM
ORIBANA DELIGHT
Together these wonderful Oribana CDs contain 62 origami flowers, many leaves, 34 vases and 45 oribana compositions!

Everybody loves to read and our Oriland Goblins are no exception! hehehe
Everything on the display was designed and made from paper in a style of origami art by us, Yuri and Katrin, Oriland Creators. Even spectacles are origami, made from foil paper… and the origami little book (just 1-inch in size) in the goblin’s hand has directions on how to fold this very book :-)
The half of the display is devoted to “Origami Sailing” theme with 1-mast ship “St.Catherine” & the crew and the treasure island with a magician :-) Notable Oriland fish are on display too! And other part of the display includes our paper flower arrangements, paper spheres and of course, this cute Goblin – Oriland library assistant :-)

Celebrating 1400th birthday of Washi this June in Toronto…
Oriland artists are displaying some of their paper spheres in the group exhibition “Journey with Washi” at LucSculpture Gallery.
Journey with Washi
Come to see these works on Japanese handmade paper from June 1 to June 20, 2010. LucSculpture Gallery is located at 663 Greenwood Ave (2nd building north of Danforth, 1 block West of Greenwood subway).
It was the year 610 when the technique of making washi (handmade Japanese paper) was brought to Japan. This June, The Japanese Paper Place and many partnering organizations will celebrate the 1400th birthday of washi with exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops involving this versatile material that is much more than just paper.
So, let’s celebrate Washi birthday together, join us on a very special workshop, we will be conducting at the Japanese Paper Place.
Here is the JPP announcement:
Oribana: Ikebana Origami using Washi
with Katrin and Yuri Shumakov
Tuesday June 8, 6:30 – 9pm $50 + gst
Referred to as superstars of the paper-folding world Yuri & Katrin Shumakov are known for their magical paper kingdoms called Oriland. Amongst their many original designs they have combined the arts of Ikebana and Origami and created paper flower arrangements in paper vases which they call ORIBANA.
In today’s workshop they will present their original Oribana design “Enticing” and teach every detail of it – flowers, stalks, leaves and a traditional-looking container – uniting them into an entire composition. At the end of this workshop everyone will have in their possession a delightful arrangement, made with their own hands using versatile colourful Moriki Kozo. Some experience in origami will be helpful, but not essential.
Hello Oriland friends! Mothers Day is coming – get some gift ideas from Oriland! Fold for your mom a little floral arrangement Oribana or beautiful Kusudama like this one :-)
Kusudama Roses
This Kusudama “Roses” folded from fine Japanese paper called Moriki Kozo. The floral paper sphere can be a memorable gift and lovely decoration.
