They are really such a fun, loving, intelligent and adorable sea creatures and it is very well captured by the ori-model of the japanese master origamist Hideo Komatsu.  

Playful and charming

Origami Creations - The Eye-catching Butterfly Fish

I was so enamoured by the Butterfly fish as designed by the japanese origamist Yoshimasa Tsuruta. This fish is named as the most attractive fish in the ocean.  At times it is called the longfin bannerfish or pennant coral fish.

Cool color change and Shaping

A closer look

Isn't it a cool model?  The photo diagram tutorial can be found here.

Origami Creations - Cute Slow Moving Sea Snails

Slow moving sea snails ... wonder why I feel so relax watching them.  Try checking out this video:

The ultimate in simple living!  It seems that they are really savouring every movement and living experience. 

Also, the glorious sound of the waves brings back so much fond memories of my childhood growing up in a tropical island - Cebu.

Cute

This is another model designed by Fuchimoto Muneji from his Origami Pet Island book.  It is a simple model but with strikingly accurate portrayal of the slow moving yet lovable snail.

Hope all of you are having a great time!

I have set my sights on bigger fishes for bigger blessings.  Yes, I am doing whales and more whales this time :-).

First up is the Gray (instead of Blue) Whale (opus 258) by the origami master Robert J. Lang.  The diagram can be found in his book - Origami Animals.

Origami Creations - Graceful, Powerful and Compassionate Dolphins

One of the Earth's most intelligent, sociable and adorable animal - the dolphin.  

In the latest Tanteidan magazine no. 19, I was fortunate enough to fold a simple yet impressive design of a dolphin created by the japanese origamist Yamakita Katsuhiko.

Divine creature of the sea

Quite delighted by its unconventional base and folding sequence.  Its form and structure is undeniably spot on.
