Origami Creations - Riding like the Wind

In my search for some cute horses with awesome smooth and folding sequence, I have found these two (2) models. 

Coolest and cutest

This winged horse is designed by the famous Hong Kong origamist Jacky Chan.  It's chiseled silhouette is just adorable and impressive.

Great posture <3

This creative piece is designed by the famous Korean origamist Seo Won Seon or Redpaper.  It's simple lines and outlook brings back memories of the wooden horsey toys that I used to play with.  It's got that extremely classic look.

Diagrams for both of these  models can be found in the book "Horses in Origami" by John Montroll.  

Have a great week!

Origami Creations - World Origami Days 2014

I have supported the World Origami Days (WOD) celebration for 2014.  This is the time of year from October 24 to November 11 that we get to have the chance to spread the joy of paperfolding worldwide. 

For a brief of history ... October 24 is actually the birthday of Lillian Oppenheimer (1898-1192), founder of the first origami group in America.  She was also one of the founders of the British Origami Society and Origami USA.  While November 11 is Origami Day in Japan where the paper crane has become a symbol of peace.  Thus, it has been agreed to have the 2 1/2 weeks of celebration.

For this year, I have folded and posted the following in the WOD FB page of the Japan Origami Academic Society (JOAS).  A fun way to promote my origamist friends as well as my favorite origami models.

Enjoy!

Following two (2) folds I have prepared but missed to post before the deadline.  I loved them too so I am posting it here.

Have a nice day!

Origami Creations - Winged Divine Stallion

One of the best known mythological creature in Greek mythology is the Pegasus.  It is the winged divine stallion (horse) and also is one of the favorite origami models being created.

Among the many models, I have learned that the most favorite one is by Mr. Fumiaki Kawahata.  I clearly remembered to have folded it a long time ago and was lucky enough to find it still intact.

Here is my interpretation:

Hope you like it.

Have a nice weekend!
