Origami Creations - Lovely Cat by Edwin Corrie

There is an origamist by the name of Edwin Corrie that I totally love.  Reason being that his designing style is simple and the folding sequence is quite smooth and practical.  To top it off, the result is impressive!

Adorable

This is his cat model from an uncut square sheet of paper.  A very interesting fold and hope you liked it.

Have a wonderful day!

Origami Fold - Kitten by Jason Ku

 Smitten by a lovely simple model by a young American origami master Mr. Jason Ku.  He is currently a board officer and member of Origami USA and has created a lot of wonderful works which you can find in his website here.

Adored his "Kitten" model for its simplicity and playful stance.  

Cuteness overload

Playful mode
 

What do you think?  Impressive, huh!

Enjoy your weekend!

Origami Design/Creations - Cat on a Mouse

I love a challenge and decided to make me some cats.  Initially, I decided to make a "Cat on a Mouse" on one square sheet of paper.  

Here is the cool result:

First rough draft

Second rough draft

I did find the model cute but only to my taste/liking.  So I decided to make a single subject fold instead and here it is.

Simple Furry Face Cat Bust

Simple Furry Face Cat 

Not really an outstanding model but exudes cuteness and quirkiness which I enjoy.  The cartoony face and unconventional form makes me happy!

Have a nice day!

Origami Creations - Awesome Cat (貓) by Fumiaki Kawahata

I have seen a flickr posting of a friend showing the different origami Cat models that he has folded.  So many lovely pieces but one of them caught my attention.

This is the model designed by a japanese master named Fumiaki Kawahata.  The same creator of the Pegasus I folded and blogged here.

Fortunately, I have the whole Easter holiday week to relax and try this art piece.  Below is the result of my fold.

Close Up photo 

Quite impressed with its shape and structure.  The folding sequence flow was also fun and very smooth.  The only problem I had was with the shaping which could have been better if I used a better quality of paper.

Overall, I am very happy with the outcome so I took another photo of the model with my upcoming design (still under development).

Cat and Puppy

Hope you like it and have a great week!
