A few days
later I was
interviewed by a radio-station from my country
(Simone FM):
And
in juni 2013 I was in
the news of a tv station in the
Netherlands (SBS6
Broadcasting)
Joost
Langeveld folding Fish and Chips on television (early 2014)
Today we have Joost Langeveld in our program, he used to be Origami
king, but now he calls himself
Origami "Master". This title is earned when you are extremely good in
something and Joost really is.
In his You-Tube videos Joost shows how to fold beautiful origami
models. His videos have many viewers
all over the world. Joost says: "The fun about Origami is that you only
need one piece of paper" .
Today the Origami Master teaches us how to fold "Fish and Chips" of his
self made papers. (text:

I really don't
have time to help everybody, because
I spend a lot of time expanding my website, making
new videos for the internet and designing models
for new origami-books.
I
earn a nice
amount of money with my videos on
You Tube, they are really popular.
A
large newspaper magazine in my country even
interviewed me at home because of my You Tube succes:

name: Joost
Langeveld job1:
origami artist
( Origami
Master )
Author
of 10 origami books
When I was
about 26 years old I started doing origami. The nice thing
about origami is that you
need very little stuff to create something. You only need a piece of
paper to create something
nice. No matter where you are, just grab a piece of paper and you can
start making things.
Origami is more for me then just designing models and showing them to
other people.
I also like to make animations with my models and the last few years I
also make
online computer games with my own models as sprites.
Media,
advertising- and
art-companies in my country have found my site too now.
I have been asked to design models for posters, helping to fill
shopping-windows,
help to make pictures of interiors (with my flowers), help to make an
intro for a popular
educational childrens-programm on tv, design models for a fashion show
etc. etc.
I like being creative and making things with my
hands.
I have made many cartoons for fun when I was
on elementary school. When I was on secondary
school I made simple computer games and
animations.
Until I was about 14 I made many things of
technic lego like a small pinball machine or
a joystick.
Later, around my 21th I started making things
of wood like a pool-biljart table and a few
clocks. I even tried to make a wooden racing
wheel once (it worked for 5 minutes)
In the july 2013 edition of a large gardening magazine of my country is
a small article about my site too:
And after the camera-shootings she also interviewed me for the radio:
(With
video instructions) A real cool supporter sombrero. In your newspaper,
to fold it yourself. Forget all other supporter items. Sunday we will
all have a sombrero on our head.
Origami artist Joost Langeveld (39) designed the supporter sombrero. He
has a part time software automation job and spends most of his time
doing the ancient art of Origami.
Joost is pretty unknown in the Netherlands, but much more popular in
other countries. Mainly because of his many beautiful flower designs.
He made 8 books until now. His site has more then 800 viewers a day and
his You Tube videos have really many viewers all around the world.

,,Ten years ago I made an important decision’’,
says Joost. ,,I wanted to be very good at an art or craft. I have been
thinking about woodcraft, but decided that Origami was more fun for me.
One of my first designs was a giraffe. It only had three legs. Nowadays
I can design one with the full four legs"

Televison
visits an Origami Museum (early 2016)
We were really impressed
when we visited Joost Langeveld in his Origami museum. He has developed
into a real Origami-Expert and his house is full of the most beautiful
Origami models. Langeveld proudly shows us his Escher and Van Gogh,
real Origami masterpieces.

be used as a gift by this factory.

Folding it was a little more difficult than they expected ;)
