Robert Lang is a pioneer of the newest kind of origami, using math and engineering principles to fold mind-blowingly intricate designs that are beautiful and, sometimes, very useful.
Some of the origami patterns have been used even to go into space telescopes which need to be large at the destination, but small for transportation. It has also been used in heart stints and even automobile airbags.
And if you’d like to give origami a try, here is how you can create the origami turtle that she showed in the previous video:

How impressive that simple toy-making technique developed into such all-around useful ways…
The rose is amazing. It looks almost like a real one.
That flower at the top is one of the most impressive origami designs I have seen. I have tried origami in the past with little success, but I am still fascinated by it. I will give the turtle a try but it probably won’t turn out very good.
Magic is all around us, and it takes special little glimpses like this to make us realize just how within our grasp it is. This is very inspirational on many levels. Good clip!
Now I’m going to spend the next hour of my life trying to figure out how to make this turtle. I even want to run to the store to buy green paper…
Wish me luck lol.
