In Flow of Light – Music to Fold by!

February 26th, 2010

As many of you might know Oriland creators have other passions besides paper design, and music is one of them. Yuri is well known in music field as Julian Ray and recently released his 4th album “In Flow of Light” filled with relaxing ambient music with beautiful melodies and soothing soundscapes.

In Flow of Light

In Flow of Light

Some music critics characterize Julian Ray music as New Age Music Canadian Style.

In his review on Julian’s new album, John P. Olsen, editor & host of New Age Music World, a top Musician Showcase website, wrote: “His ambient music with a more casual tone of 10 uplifting melodies makes one relaxing album, great for travel or winding down right at home” “…providing a measurable amount of relaxation with his individual freestyle of ambient music.”

We are not sure if John Olsen is a fan of origami, but we can add that this music is great to fold by too! : )

Read John Olsen’s article about Julian Ray at New Age Music World

And enjoy Julian’s music at Julianraymusic.com while you fold : )

Music to fold by!

Musically yours,

Romantics of the true Olympic spirit!

February 23rd, 2010

Oriland Mittens Hello all! : ) It feels great during the Winter Olympic Games 2010! Especially because they are in Canada, which is a home of Oriland too!

We were quite busy here recently, preparing special winter kits for our Oriland team of paper Goblins-skiers : )

Oriland Goblins-skiers

We especially designed the printable paper pattern set for Mittens, Scarf and Hat with winter theme and released a free eBook with them. So, those Oriland fans, who are owning our ‘Christmas Treats for Christmas Trees‘ eBook with diagrams of Mittens, Scarf and Hat can print out the special patterns and have fun folding!

Just had so much fun designing and folding these winter kits :-)

We also enjoyed greatly by the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics – the show was spectacular with fantastic light effects and flying performers and more from Cirque du Soleil… Truly extraordinary! And there are much more highlights on the Games to follow!

Our Goblins skiers are keeping an eye on their colleagues-skiers and happy to report that the mogul freestyle skier Alexander Bilodeau made history as the first Canadian athlete to receive a gold medal in this Olympic Games 2010!

To say a truth, the Oriland Goblins secretly are dreaming of Dancing on Ice… They are simply charmed and sincerely admire our Canadian pair Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir, who win Olympic Gold in Ice Dancing for Canada! Hooray!
Go Canada! Go Oriland! : )

Kusudama Installation in Gallery

February 20th, 2010

These kusudama designs are a part of our Oriland installation we did in INDEXG gallery on December 20, when is was Oriland day in the gallery, as we were invited artists for their third G Hunting Sunday.

Kusudama Installation by the Shumakovs in INDEXG gallery, Toronto

Kusudama Installation by the Shumakovs in INDEXG gallery, Toronto

The window display of our kusudama and hanging decoration was up all the January in the gallery. It really looked lovely and attracted many people, who were passing by. While we were installing the paper spheres we constantly had spectators behind the glass.

Just to remind you what KUSUDAMA is …
KUSUDAMA (薬玉) is the Japanese word that stands for “healing sphere”, as 薬 KUSU means “healing herbs” and 玉 TAMA (DAMA) – a ball, spherical shape. When the words “KUSU” and “TAMA” are combined, there is a change of the sound “T” to “D” and the word “KUSUDAMA” results. Originally it was an ornamental scent bag, but now it is used generally to describe “decorative paper ball” usually made in origami technique out of several modules connected together with or without glue to form a sphere.

Also wanted to add that while ago we have released the eBook called KUSUDAMA – MAGIC SPHERES.

KUSUDAMA - MAGIC SPHERES eBook

The book teaches you step-by-step how to make origami magic in creating these delightful paper spheres and there are the diagrams of some of these spheres that were on display at INDEXG!

As a great addition this book offers our article ‘Magic of Kusudama’, which will tell you a story about Kusudama, shedding light on how they were used in the ancient Japan and how Kusudama designs keep their charm till now. There are 140 detailed step-by-step colorful diagrams with comments, placed on 36 pages that will guide you through folding the 17 original origami designs of the Oriland style. The models are ranging from simple to intermediate level of folding as shown by stars in the book and are good for the novice and the expert alike.

Some models there are never-published-before unique designs! Check this eBook out! You can buy for just $5.95 and download instantly!

Create your own kusudama display right at your home or place where you work!

Happy folding :-)
