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!
Origami as Pure as Snow
Shonen
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!
