Kusudama Star

This is another modular origami, but only took 6 modules to make and I consider it to be a little bit cheating because I had to glue the modules together.  I think if you are going to have modules, they should fold together.  But whatever, I still really like this and it gave me a chance to use some of my fancier, two-sided origami paper.  I think this will make a lovely Christmas ornament on my tree this year!  Click here for directions on how to make this for yourself!

May 1st & 2nd - Dino, Part 2

Here is the finished Origamisaurus!  He's a friendly species, doesn't eat much and, in fact, makes a great office pet!  He prefers a bright desk environment with lots of activity around.  Beware though, watch where you put your pencil, this dinosaur in not desk trained and you might find yourself with a soggy spitball where you didn't want one!

April 30th - Dino, Part 1

This is the first part of the dinosaur.  I need a great name for this particular species...maybe foldasaurus or origamus?  Check back tomorrow to see the completed animal and his official dino name!

April 29th - Rooftop

Personally, I think this looks more like a tent than a rooftop, but considering there is no flap to lift to get inside, then the rooftop does seem more fitting.  Although, a roof without a building of some sort does seem rather peculiar.  I think maybe this roof needs a building....thoughts?

April 28th - Bull Skull

Can't you just envision this fossil on the side of the road in New Mexico or somewhere like that?  No?  Well, try harder....I can!

April 26th - Woodpecker

I remember as a kid loving Woody Woodpecker (I can hear his little laugh now.) and he wasn't nearly as freaky looking as this bird.  This thing will scare the bejesus out of you!

April 23rd - 25th - Rose

This rose had a part one and a part two that took up a whole weekend!  AND I needed a toilet paper cardboard roll to make it work.  This one was a lot easier than the directions let on, but I don't really like it....maybe I can find another technique and post that one later...for the time being, this bud's for you!
