Μου ζήτησε η κόρη μιας φίλης μου να της φτιάξω απο μία "Σθενώ" γοργόνα για εκείνη και την φίλη της.
Έκανα μερικές αλλαγές στο πατρόν, αν και η βασική ιδέα είναι ίδια.

#75 Hearts

#75 hearts
My new found love for origami turned in a little project.
On Sunday early in the morning when Athens was still sleeping. My friend Maria and I went at the center of Ancient Agora (Downtown Athens, Greece) and  we created  a "tree of hearts"
If you want to make your own hearts, I used "Life is a party" tutorial
You can, also, see  last year's project here
Hope you like it!

For all those people you love and hold dear in your life
For all those little things that make you whole and put a smile on your face
Keep dreaming!
Sophia

All the photos in this post are taken for my super talented photographer friend Maria
You can see more of her work here.
