July 19th - Rabbit

First, I missed the end of July and all these posts are going to show up in August!  Aargh!  Oh well.  I have had them folded for weeks too! 

This is the Rabbit.  I don't like it much.  It is a little too goemetric for me.  But you can definitely see the animal there.

July 16th - Flamingo

I guess in Origami world, the Flamingo and the Ostrich are related.  They look an awful lot alike!  I think I like this one better!

July 15th - Butterfly Mystery

This is a lot like the "COOL" one I did a while back so I wanted to post the instructions for this one too.  It is really easy and then you get to the single cut that makes the final product and I can't help but get a little nervous because if I do it a little wrong, who knows how it will turn out?

July 14th - Shark Attack

You're supposed to be able to fold this just right so you can balance it 3 ways.  So obviously I could only get it to balance 2 ways.  Maybe I'll try the third one again and post it with the others.  Check back!

July 13th - Teeter Totter

I used to love playing on the teeter totter when I was a kid.  Do they even have those anymore?  They don't even have good playgrounds anymore.  I remember the best playground when I was a kid.  It was at my elementary school and there was a big wooden boat full of sand.  You had to walk up a ramp to get in and it was so fun!  There was also a huge cargo net draped over a 20 foot high frame.  You could climb up one side and down the other.  I fell down that cargo net more than once, but it was still a lot of fun.  Playgrounds don't have that kind of stuff anymore.  They are all covered with woodchips or whatever current soft material is in style and there is nothing on them that might possibly injure a kid.  Good thing kids still have great imaginations.  I see it everyday in my 3 year old.  I love the things she comes up with!  I bet she would love riding on a teeter totter!

July 12th - Twin Penguins

These neither look like twins nor penguins really.  And it would be a lot cooler if it would stand up.  Eh, I'd give this one a 4.  But who's rating?

July 9-11th - Puff Owl

Last time I tried to make a two-parter, it didn't turn out that great, but I really like this one!  I got to use the forbidden white out again, which really makes the eyes pop and the two different shades of blue are really nice against each other.  I also like the feathers above the eyes.  Just pretty cool altogether.
