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!

Green Origami

In Math (Trigo) class, my teacher was giving out these mint chocolates to the class, and after I finished eating mine I realized that I had quite a nice bit of foil-backed paper right in front of me. I just had to hide the plastic edges and I had a nice long rectangular piece of folding material. After fiddling a bit with it, pleating it and making random reverse folds, I thought that maybe I could make an arm with fingers out of it. It's a rather basic skill, used rather commonly in boxpleating to form hands with recognisable fingers. I'm not gonna go too deeply into it, but I think you should be able to reverse-engineer it from the pictures anyway.



And the underside...



Should be quite clear now ^_^

Then, I saw the wrapper left on the table by my neighbour and I was still bored, so I took it and folded another hand so I now have a matching set (With the thumbs in the right place, of course). Then I got hold of another few wrappers and started folding legs.



A view of the foot from its owner's perspective (i.e. looking downwards):


By the way, I've finished off all the dark-coloured paper I have, so I had to use my Year One Orientation T-shirt to provide the black background. I did that witht he last post too. (:

I quickly made a matching set of legs again, and I started having fun placing the "emo frog parts" into interesting arrangements.



The part providing the "body" and "head" is actually a sample of the original sweet. Mint Chocloates yum ^_^

Someone remarked that when viewed at an angle, it kinda looks like someone in a traffic accident.



Ouch.

In case you're wondering, the book I used was a copy of Hikaru No Go manga.

That was fun, random doodles in class are always the best ^_^

These techniques are always useful, so it's good to rememeber them.

Ta-ta!
