In this blog inspired by Wolf, I showcase models that I design and post information of interest to the origami folder. I also have a photostream in Flickr (the link is down there). Do enjoy your visit here and don't forget to tag or leave a few comments on my work! If you have folded any of my models, please send their pictures to me, and I will be delighted to publish them in this blog. By the way, please check out the "Important Links" below the archives; they are that important :) The "Origami Singapore" page has links to other folders from Singapore. Have fun!

Dwarf (Continued)

Following on the last post...

Remember the pickaxe I made? I created a few other "tools" for the dwarf, namely the shovel, an axe and for some obscure reason, a kettle.


I had to create all of these by myself, and the axe was made as a weapon, due to my mother's comments that the dwarf looked like a nasty gang member holding the pickaxe like that.



It was fun designing the tools myself, especially the axe. The dwarf "held" the tools by using the thumb as a hook to reach into the lengthwise gap on the handles of the tools and surling the other fingers around the handle.



Behold the kettle!

Too bad the kettle's handle would never close up, leaving an open handle. Still, it didn't come out too bad...

I used up a whole sheet of A4 paper between all these models; 1 square for the dwarf, and the remainder was divided into 4 equal rectangles to fold 4 different tools.

I even tried to stick all the tools into the dwarf. The result was a very scary dwarf armed to the teeth with miscellaneous tools.



Now he really looks like some gang member. That cooks. And attacks innocent bystanders with a pickaxe.

My, my, that's not pure anymore, is it?
