Origami Creations - How to Tell a Happy Cat

Did you know that one of the cat's happiness reaction is by raising its tail straight up?  

Cats has one of the coolest body language tail signals which needs to be understood so in order to have a good and loving relationship with them.

Here are cat ori-models showing expressive cat tails :-).

Origami Design - My Simple Sheep for CNY 2015

Finally, I got my own sheep design and submitted to the Japan Origami Academy Society (JOAS) celebration for World Origami Days (WOD).  Also, I used it for the International Origami Internet Olympiad competition  as my design task.

It will be the Chinese New Year of the Goat/Sheep next year so it is my fitting tribute to the best holiday of the year in Asia!

Simple and Sleek

Black is beautiful too!

I have prepared the diagrams for this piece and have asked some good pro ori-friends to test fold and provide feedback.  

Below are their awesome interpretation of my design.
