Origami Creations - The King of the Jungle

As I rummage my plastic shopping bag of origami folds, I saw a sitting lion which I intensely enjoy but forgot who the designer was.

It's a simple looking model but shows a lot of promise with further rounding and shaping.  But as always, I prefer a more unrealistic looking model yet includes the salient feature of the animal.

Wishing one and all a great and productive week!

Origami Creations - Have you heard of Cecil the Beloved Lion?

I made a Lion fold dedicated to Cecil a few months ago.  He was a major attraction in a national park in Africa and was killed by an American recreational big game hunter.  The incident made international media attention and sparked outrage among animal conservationists, politicians and celebrities.

It is a sad story ... below is a video news report of the incident.

I was able to make a complex Lion fold before and blogged here.   I opted to revisit this great beast again and found a cool John Montroll model.

A much more simpler design is by the famous origamist Nick Robinson.  The diagram for this is available here.

Noticed how magnificent and beautiful this creature is?  Try folding one and surely you can feel some appreciation for this glorious animal.

Hope change is coming soon ... for a more loving and caring world!

Wishing one and all a great week ahead!

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.

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!
