Yoda...

Was having lunch with Caralle, Adeline and company then Adeline mentioned Miklos was a die-hard fan of star-wars, she was wondering whether I could fold a Yoda with paper. I've done that before, so nothing too new... but this time i folded it with two papers glued back to back so that there is color change. Goodness i discovered brown wrapping paper, if i have used two pieces of 70gm or 80 gm paper, the resulting paper would be too thick to be folded efficiently.

Its now "standing" in front of the yoda, on Miklos' desk. Good colour change model :)

Merlion...

Can recognize what is this? Its actually my 9th attempt (or maybe its 10) at folding a merlion... can recognize or not? The below is a simple fish tail but the problematic part is the head, the overlapping flaps are too messy and complicated... but still dunno how to distribute them properly.
This is my best attempt so far... need more time and tries. But work is getting busy... fast and furious... start to OT liao... kaoz... have less time for origami... how? Will origami end here? haiz... let hope not... merlion... how ah? very difficult leh...

What pollution did to my evening sky...

No wonder recently my room so hot... all the pollution and green house gases... ugh~!!!!

Birds in flight

Haven't been blogging much ever since work started, but still, folding never really stopped~!!! Anyway, folded a couple of birds last week and its kinda detailed. Quite happy with the final outcome. The first was a flying crane, created by Roman Diaz. Especially liked the feet with claws, but not to be folded with normal paper. Its quite a recent discovery, that brown wrapping paper makes very good folds as well, mainly because its thin and at the same time relatively strong. To top that, it takes folds very well and makes shaping after folding easy.

Second work is another of my creation, but i feel its like the best so far. Its folded from a flying goose base, and with my newly discovered brown wrapping paper, i am able to incorporate much of the details in with ease. The focus of my hawk is on the wings and posture, so the rest of it are very much simplified. A pity is that the feets don't come with claws. Will work on that, when i have time. But the next thing i will do is to try the Satoshi Kamiya ancient dragon on brown wrapping paper.
