  Oh, wow! I once made a skier, but it took me ages and all his bits were bent.

  That’s really impressive.

  I’ve seen this type of origami before. Each of those peices of paper takes about a minute to fold, so altogether it must have taken a very long time.

  I have to say that this puts my napkin origami (attempts!) to shame. I’m speechless by the awesomeness of this. Patrick you are AMAZING!

  Hi Patrick

  I fold a lot of Origami and in workshops for children and adults alike. I just wanted to say fantastic. I bet you got a great deal of pleasure from making the peacock, well done. It is an excellent piece of work which I am sure will bring pleasure and inspiration to all who see it. I bet your street cred has gone up too!

  Spiritually: 20/20!

  Truly stunning work, Patrick. Outstanding use of colors! I hope that this will be seen by countless others around the world! Yes, you are an inspiration, but more than that you are an example of how ANY obstacle can be overcome, since an obstacle is only an obstacle if you see it that way.

  I am honored to have seen this, so thank you, and I hope you’ll contribute more!
