A longtime reader sent me this series of photos depicting origami using one dollar bills. It is incredible! These paper figures are apparently made by an artist named Won Park, who does amazing things with paper. (Thanks to reader Andy for sharing Won’s homepage!)

The email forward that is circulating the web says “Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper.

“Won Park is the master of Origami. He is also called the “money folder”, a practitioner of origami whose canvas is the United States One Dollar Bill. Bending, twisting, and folding, he creates life-like shapes in stunning detail. Be sure to see his home at the end of the art.”
