Description Origami, food, and med. Perhaps in that order, too. ;D

I'm not really sure if this belongs in the conceptual gallery or not, since it was more a series of fortuitous coincidences that led to the idea, rather than careful planning as dictated in the gallery description.

A short story uncut long:

See, I just finished folding a mutated Star of Eden #16 and wanted to take a picture of it.
The closest flat surface was my orange Spanish dictionary, so I stuck the star on top.

I thought the green and orange went really well together, but there was too much writing on the dictionary's cover so I thought I would find my Spanish workbook instead which is more of a solid orange, and which I have used as a background for taking origami pictures before. XD

I stood up to dig through some of the stuff on my desk (in retrospect that was completely the wrong place to look) and saw my mandarin sitting there.

Some weird instinct/whim made me pick it up and put the star on top of it. And then I realised it actually looked pretty cool.

Then I needed a good surface to take a photograph on. And the closest thing was my lecture notes, which I had been semi-attempting to revise with earlier on in the evening.

And then it was perfect. XD

Although I had to take a better picture of the star later, since this photo isn't really about the star any more. XD

I'd agree with the Doc - I thought persimmon when I first saw it! I like them! Next time I shall have to make you try some! If you like mangoes you will like them although they are similar only in texture, they taste different of course.

Thanks so much

Actually, when I first put the star on top of the mandarin, the shape of the 'leaves' made me think of a tomato, too

It reminds me of a persimmon fruit (a caqui in Spanish).
Pretty picture, very well done. And really a good idea, and the origami star there is nicely folded too.
I love it

Thanks

Persimmons... you know, I've never really tried many different kinds of fruits in my life XD

You can have the star, but the mandarin is MINE

The mandarin was yours time ago, poor little fruit.
About persimmons, I like them. They are yummy
