Origami Design - Cute Baby "Chibi" Squirrels

As I have seen a lot of "chibi" origami designs lately, I have decided to come up with my own set of cute baby animals from a single base.

First off ... is my baby squirrels.  As usual, I go for the simple and cute design and with some adorable color changes.

Cute isn't it?

Through the support and kindness of Ms. Jenny W. Chan (www.origamitree.com), she has made a tutorial of this model in the video link below.  She also included the model in her blog here.

I had some wonderful ori-friends who has folded my squirrel which I would like to share with you here.

Origami Creations /Designs - Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus (聖誕老人) Tutorial

In a rush to make it before the Christmas Eve week, I finally completed my video tutorial for my Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus.  (Well, it's just Santa really except for the pink paper ... just didn't want Santa to be lonesome.  I was even planning to make green elves but fortunately was able to get a hold of myself).  The model is made from one sheet of square paper.

Here are the lovely couple (hope you can see the special effects on the photos as I do):

Origami Creations - Autumn Flower Tutorial

In my last post on the 15th of October - Tuesday, I mentioned that I have joined a competition for Simple Origami.  Competition winners were announced and unfortunately, my entry didn't make it.

In fairness, the top 5 origami art pieces that won, were well deserving.  The experience and opportunity to join a fun competition was more than a gift that will last me a lifetime.  I am looking forward to the next contest.  Bring it on!

And talking about gifts, I made a video tutorial of my autumn flowers for all to enjoy.  Hope you like them.
