Origami Creations - The Perfect Yellowtail Fish

After my post on the Goldfish, I finally decided to proceed and channel my energies to making more folds on fishes.  This is for abundance of blessings for the New Year!

This awesome model which I have chosen is by another japanese origamist named Katsuta Kyohei.  

Color change at its Best!

It's a very interesting and expressive piece with complete fins, eyes and gills.  The diagram for this model can be found in the Origami Tanteidan Magazine No. 116.

Have a great week!

Origami Creations - Gold fish for Good Luck

The word for Fish in chinese is a homophone for "abundance" and "affluence".  Quite fitting for my first post for the year 2016!  

An even more appropriate fish to fold is the GOLD fish which is a symbol for wealth and good luck!

Perfect shaping

This beautiful model is designed by the japanese origamist Fuchimoto Muneji.  Despite not having any color changes, it shaping strikingly resembles the goldfish.  You may find the diagram in his book below:

Here's wishing and praying for heaps of happiness, prosperity, good health and success for everyone in the New Year!

Origami Designs - Origami Publication with the British Origami Society

A glorious end for the year 2015, I successfully got a design published with the British Origami Society Magazine.  Woohoo!

This is issue no. 295 for December 2015 where you can find the ori-diagram for my "Baby Chibi Rabbits in motion".  More details on my model was blogged here.  I have learnt that this issue was the second largest of all time (the first one was issue no. 100).  

I was also able to receive a disc on my participation for the BOS Spring Convention last March 2015.  My baby mammoth and 3D Horse Head design was fortunately included on the convention book.

These will be fond mementos for a great creative year!  You may learn more about the British Origami Society by checking this link.

Thank you BOS and I wish you more success and power in the year 2016!

Origami Creations - Simple Santa and Christmas Tree

The spirit of Christmas is still with me and the family so I have done a lot of Santa folds aside from my own creations.

Here is one of my favourite Santa designed by the famous japanese  origamist/master Kunihiko Kasahara.

Pure origami cuteness

And not to be outdone, I have paired it with my simple christmas tree from my "Christmas is a time for love - 3 in 1 model" design which I have blogged here.

Using special kami paper for tree decors :-)

I am very proud of this unique design as it is one of a kind - to have 3 different objects for one uncut sheet of paper.  The diagram is now available in my newly opened Etsy shop.

Below is a sneak preview of the model:

Have a wonderful Christmas and run-up to the New Year!

Origami Creations - Merry Christmas Santa Crane!

Ho, ho, ho ... I have an awesome fold to share with you this time!

Yes, its a santa crane designed by the japanese origamist Arisawa Yuga.  

Amazing color change

Quite an intriguing creation, that of combining Christmas with the origami crane - a veritable symbol of origami.  This just goes to prove that nothing is impossible in paper folding.

Origami Creations - The Best Ori-Rabbit Design

Undoubtedly the best origami rabbit is designed by the famous master origamist Ronald Koh.  His model was exhibited in the "Surface to Structure:  Folded Forms" show in New York.  Details here.  

The best with the second best :-)

I am very fortunate to be able to fold Mr. Koh's design which is quite detailed and impressive.   Thus also gave me an opportunity to pair it with the second best rabbit design (made by me :-D).  Looks nearly the same, huh?

Wishing everyone a great Christmas week ahead!
