Origami
artist Mui-Ling Teh makes small but perfectly formed paper creations
so small that they can only be appreciated in close-up photographs.

The smallest of the tiny models is just 2mm long and looks like a mere speck to the naked eye
The 23 year-old painstakingly creates the works using just paper, scissors and tweezers
The
architecture student first began to experiment with origami when she
was just ten years old when she used sweet wrappers to create tiny
models. However she did not begin folding miniatures until one day in
April 2008, when she folded a crane from a random piece of paper while
daydreaming and later realised how small a creation she had made. Since
then she has continued to make smaller and smaller models, creating
flowers, ornaments and birds in miniature
She
says: "I tend to fold cranes a lot; usually with paper about 5—5mm in
size. Currently, folding one of those take me about 10 minutes.
"This
skill definitely requires a lot of patience; some models require much
more patience than others; especially when folding a different design
for the first time," she said.
"Folding miniature origami also lets me escape from the distractions around me as my mind is focused in one small place"
The
talented artist dreams of turning her passion for paper into her
profession, and is looking at ways in which she could display her work
in exhibitions. However, the models are too small to be appreciated
with the naked eye, and can only be truly understood through
photographs of the work
The Canadian student sells her calendars and other gift items with photos of her beautiful work on to help fund her studies
A work called Born from the Fingers

Teh stands in front of a calendar featuring her miniature origami
creations Unsurprisingly, Mui-Ling has lost some of her artwork, when a
Kinder Surprise container full of her models fell out of her rucksack.
She was heart-broken when she realised what had happened, and created a
calendar online to commemorate the pieces that she had lost.
