My Origami
|
Here are some origami that I folded myself. A lot of these ones are very simple. I am working on some complex models right now, such as a dragon, a butterfly and a praying mantis. Hopefully I'll have some more pictures soon. |
| These birds (the current origami of the month) are the first fold I really got into. I love to make them and I have tons of them already. This is also my first memorized fold. This little crème colored bird is the one I consider to be my "best fold" of all the birds. (be sure to visit origami of the month to request a bird of your own!) | |
| These Seals are too cute for their own good. The gray one looks male to me, and the pink female. (If you look close, they are slightly different.) This is a simple fold, but hard to get "perfect". I liked both of these, but I am definitely going to practice on this fold more to get it better. | |

Ah, the traditional crane. How could I fold origami and not have a few cranes? The green is my favorite-- the blue was my first attempt as a little present to my boyfriend. This fold is a bit more complex, but not hard. Sometimes the head and tail look funny. I find it easier to do with larger paper. |
| (image soon) | The sale boat. Originally I never planned to work on this fold at all, but then after I made the whales I thought a boat would look cute next to them. Then I got the idea to make the graphic for the main page and so that's that. |

I used a pretty metallic paper to make these elegant swans. They are two different styles and make a beautiful pair! I gave these two to my Mother to set on her desk at work, :) The beaks can be a bit tricky to make them have a clean fold, however once you do they are very nice to look at. |
| Elegant and beautiful, the whales I found to be a delightful challenge. They don't look all that difficult but the tails were really tricky. I think they turned out lovely and they are one of my favorite folds. Sometime in the future they will probably be the origami of the month, since I really need to practice with them. | |
| Geometric shapes and boxes are a really popular origami figure. This star box was my first attempt and I was really pleased with it. I used two sided paper and it came out looking really nice. All the folds are clean and it is really symmetric. | |
