January 28th - Traditional Swan

This one was very simple and seems very elegant to me.  I realize now as I am looking at it that I should have taken the picture from the other side because there is no writing on the other white flap!  Oh well.  Tomorrow is another practice page and so was another day earlier this week so I am going to find a couple online to make while I am in a meeting and post those.  Should be pretty cool...

January 27th - Spider

This picture is so bad, but this little spider is so cool!  It was hard to make too!  I like him!

January 26th - Cool Paper Trick



This one turned out so neat, I just had to post the directions.  (They got a little cut off on the right, but you can still see all the steps.)  I looked at this for a while and couldn't figure out what it would make, but lo and behold, when you make the cut, this is what you get...

Cool!

January 25th - Four Step Sled

This sled is pretty neat and a little more old school than the other sled that I made earlier.  I'm not sure which one I like better.

January 22nd - Hummingbird

This one was a little weird to figure out at the end.  If you look closely you can see that I'm balancing it on a plastic spoon in the picture!  Ha ha!  This weekend is a weird project to make an indoor plant ornament.....
It involves glue and beads.....I don't really know if that is going to happen.  I might just find another origami online to make.  We'll see.  I'm running on toooooo much coffee today so I'm way too hyper.  Back to work for me!

January 21st - Snappy Puppet

This little puppet is probably my least favorite actual origami so far.  But, he is kind of cute, I guess.  At least it is better than doing practice folds.  And you have to love the post-it eyeballs!

January 20th - Puppy Finger Puppet

This one didn't turn out exactly like the picture, but it is still pretty cute.  This one was pretty cool because it started out exactly the same as the cat yesterday, but with a few slight changes, it is a totally different animal!  I'm still not sure how I feel about drawing on the origamis.  I don't know if it is the fact that I don't like my drawing skills or if I think it messes with the purity of the art of origami.  Either way, he looks pretty tired, so I think my feelings are coming out in my drawing!  Ha!
