Even more amazing there are people who are willing to pay that much for a fish.

I am not one of them.

I do however find them absolutely beautiful. So instead of digging a pond in my backyard and selling my car in order to buy a koi, I think I’ll just admire these paper koi creations.

These origami koi fish are designed and folded by Sipho Mabona from one uncut sheet of paper.

Koi fish have been a trend in tattoo art for years. Faye & Co used that pairing as their inspiration for these wedding invitations.

These are not like any of our other marbled papers, go anywhere near them with a pair of scissors and we may tackle you. They were created as art, signed by Renato Crepaldi, and belong in a frame.

It may sound clique but the photos of them simply do not do them justice. The colors are more vibrate than any paper or marble I’ve ever seen. We had a one of them in a corner of our office and everyone that came in went straight to it continuously mumbling ”oh my God, that is so gorgeous”.

I must say this is by far one of my favorite ways to use marble paper.

In the same style you may remember Bryn Alexandra lined her secretary in one of our Pirouette Marbles and it looked absolutely fabulous.

Just make sure you don’t completely fill the shelf with books, you want that gorgeous paper to be seen.

And if all this papier-mache wasn’t enough they also have this amazing framed piece of handmade paper.

The bold circular pattern reminds me of our Uzumaki Spiral Lace paper. I wonder how it would look framed!
