Origami Creations - Multi-color Stripe Cubes

Another awesome cube I found in the web is the Multi-color cube (Cubo Multi-cor) by Rita Foelker and the Line Cube by Fumiaki Shingu.

Again, its a model which I cannot be bored looking at especially when you used 6 different colored square kami to make it.  As usual, this model does not require cutting or gluing.

A gem of a beauty

What do you think?  

I believe you are getting excited to make this too so I am enclosing the link of the diagram here.  For Mr. Shingu's model, the diagram is here.

Enjoy!

Origami Creations - The Tyrant Lizard: Tyrannosaurus Dinosaur

I seem to have been smitten by the T-Rex bug so I folded another one.  This time from my favorite japanese origamist - Satoshi Kamiya.

T-Rex Rules

Though this is a much older design, I still enjoyed the head and tail shaping for this model.  Compared to the Kade Chan design I folded weeks back, I admit I will still go for the Kade's as it is much more scarier :-).

Have a great Wednesday!

Origami Creations - The Pureland Wizard

Saw and interesting wizard model by japanese origamist Hideo Komatsu which suits my taste - pureland/simple and cute.  Even more fortunate as the diagram is given for free once you complete a survey form.

This is the link on the wizard and below is my fold.

Pure and simple

The flow sequence of the fold is phenomenal.  Enjoyed it a whole lot and surely can learn something from it!

Hope you liked it!

Origami Creations - Lovely Pelicans

Finally had an opportunity to fold a wonderful model from my favourite vietnamese origamist - Hoang Tien Quyet.  I and my daughters fell head over heals with his famous swan piece.

Now, this is his pelican.

A lovely and elegant bird design

Quite adorable of him to make two (2) designs for a lovely pair.  

Hope you like this fold as my daughters do!  Have a great weekend!

Origami Creations - Little Cute Bird

So fortunate to have befriended a person who share my passion for making simple origami.  He is also a very generous person who shares his designs freely in his FB site.  The name is Shunichi Ashimura.

I have folded his works before and posted here.  Now, I'm doing his Little Bird creation.

Cool lighting makes Little Bird even more impressive

Quite impressed with his designs and so excited to do more of his works.  He actually has more new models against my limited free time to make them.  Hope I can have his speed and talent!

Have  a wonderful week!

Origami Creations - King of the Jungle

A great feeling of accomplishment when I finally was able to fold another awesome model by the great japanese origamist - Satoshi Kamiya.  After making his octopus, elephant and then his little bird, I couldn't resist myself to continue and try more of his works. 

Here is my rendition of his Lion model.

Roar

The shaping of the mane may need further improvement but overall I am quite satisfied with the raw result of my fold.

Hope you liked it!  Have a nice day!

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 Creations - Cool Box Pleating Designs

I was so enamored by a box pleating origami model by a master origamist in the name of Tomohiro Tachi.  Check out his flickr account here.

I don't usually fold using this technique which is normally applied to make complex human form designs, but this one is a great exception.

Super cool

This model is from an uncut square sheet of paper and you may find the tutorial here by another origamist, Mr. Peter Stein.

Mr. Stein also made a variation called "Cheers" (red wine and wine glass) but this time from a rectangular paper.  

Extra Cool

He also made a tutorial here.  

Hope you try this works and frame them.  They will surely impress your family and friends!

Origami Creations - Folding Nemo the Clownfish (小丑魚)

Just re-watched "Finding Nemo" the other day which led me to dig out my origami box for the clown fishes which I have folded long before.

I am a big fan of origami models with color changes and one of this challenge can be encountered with the clown fish.

First catch is Roman Diaz's clownfish.

Lovely

Next catch is Katrin Shumakov's (Oriland) design. 

Clown on Clown

I remember making one by a famous Korean origamist Seo Won Seon (redpaper) but couldn't find it now.  Guess that is the one that got away :-(.

Hope you enjoyed these models and have a wonderful week!

Origami Creations - Lovely and Amazing Little Bird

As I continue to clean my box of old folds I came upon a favorite one ... the little bird by the famous japanese origamist Satoshi Kamiya.  

This is an awesome model as it is designed with the bottom part closed. I remember to have been pausing a lot of times especially on the shaping. 

Here it is:

My very tame birdie

I and my family really enjoyed the finished model and the impressive photo.

Hope you liked it too!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Origami Creations - Asiatic Elephant by Kamiya Satoshi

It is very nice to have joined a group with regular folding challenges.  At least, I am able to occupy my time with something I enjoy doing without having to think too hard of what model to fold next.  Furthermore, the models chosen are quite interesting with very clever folding sequences.

The chosen piece for this paper challenge was the Asiatic Elephant by Satoshi Kamiya.  He is one of the most advanced origami master from Japan who has created mostly complex models.  Check his wiki below for more details.

Now, here is my creation:

Nice and lovely shaping

I used copy paper to do this fold so it was a bit difficult to do.  I would love to do this again with better quality paper.  

Added some more photos using some of my elephant figure collections.

With a baby elephant made from Jade stone

With Dumbo

Have a great weekend!
