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.
I think they are all stunning, but my favorites are the crab, the fish and the scorpion! Which one do you like?

I love the fish, and the ?shark! So clever, especially from a dollar bill! I'm afraid my fingers are far too stiff, and anyway, if I am honest, were never much good at intricate stuff like that!
Don't think I could bring myself to use a 5BP note to do origami - that would be about $7 or $8. (We have coins below that denomination.)
I think I like the crab, the butterfly and the scorpion.
These are absolutely wonnnnnderful...!
I like them all...I'd like to have a shirt/coat made of money.
Finally, a good use for money!
You want me to choose????? Impossible?
That is more than I get from a dollar.
I like all of your choices, plus the duck.
G'day Judy, that's about all a dollar is good for now-a-days.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas my friend and that 2010 is all you wish for.
Those are great!
I loved doing Origami as a child. They are all brilliant.
There are some neat things there and worth more than the original dollar.
I like the suit and the butterfly best. Rich!
I absolutely love that fish!
