…so you gotta imagine this is blue (an unimagined limitation to my original white rule, doh!), the shape is fairly faithfully the twitter logo – tricky to get the head and feet angles/proportions right, and some thick folding through the body here
You too can fold your own twitter bird: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r38S8fjDUN0 … you know you want to
…as my daughter often points out, anything that is not pertaining to elephants is irrelephant (lol, she even has a tshirt that proclaims that).
So I thought I would make her an irrelephant
I have lots of elephants, this is quick and capable of some nice poses – I modified the body a little from the diagrams I had, rounded the tummy and repositioned the bum/tail to make it more “dumbo” like, might try another later in the year, we shall see. Nice big ears – does that make it an African or an Indian Irrelephant? … Google it now!!
…do or do not, there is no try.
I have seen a few Yoda models, this is one I decided to try – quite like the stance but geting the expression on the face and arms/feet right were tricksey. They can not all be gems I suppose
See if you can improve on this model, have a go at: http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/diagrams/yoda.pdf
I was looking for a nice mousey and stumbled across this tutorial, nice and easy to follow and the resultant mouse is so very cute – pudgy body, lovely ears and fantastic tail
Very pleased with how it turned out – remember all these models are first-go folds for me, no practice allowed.
You should have a go at this little cutie – the tutorials can be found at: http://origamiks.com/showorigami/289-origamiblog/7275-origami-tanaka-mouse
I think we all feel a little slothfull from time to times, and this model is a nice representation. I particularly like the proportions and facial expression.
Danged photocopy paper is not good at taking repeated creases, the split down the face was a primary crease that opened up due to the thickness of paper at that point.
Subtle advertisement for QSITE anyone?
We visited Cape Otway Lighthouse, there in the underbrush was a small, wet rabbit – very cute, so I thought it would be a good model to make.
Difficult (and I had to cheat with a cut to make the 2 lobes of the ears) – might search out another rabbit model that does not require cheating however.

An interesting fold and the bird has a posture as in flight, difficult to photograph, soz.

A nice model (particularly pleased with the body/tail) that is difficult to photograph, as someone pointed out to me the proportions are more Albatross-like than seagullish, but there you go.

A deceptively simple model – much work is done underneath to form the shell, legs etc. I might look for a better turtle later, but this is a worthy first reptile.
I like this, the posture/stance is sort of what I expect (after watching Jurassic Park) and I like how you get the vestigial arms seemingly from nowhere. I like how the shadow makes it more menacing as well, accidental photos using obscure light sources can result in nice happenstances sometimes.
Nice model, interesting manipulation of the bird-base, first time I tried it – you can try it too at http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/diagrams/velociraptor.pdf
A cute plesiosaur, or loch-ness monster (but waay to cute to be scary).
One square of A4 photocopy paper – looks more like a juvenile as the neck-body proportions are a bit out for an adult (well, that is my story and I am sticking to it)
I rather like the expression on the face, position of ears and body stance of this model – not bad for a first time fold.
Fold found here: http://synconi.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2qno4x have a go yourself – you know you want to.
One sheet of paper, rectangle 2×1, folded prior to this project started but the inspiration for it so it is a fitting first
I like this model as the tail is fully articulated – it stands up as a display for the male peacock. Folded during a particularly boring exam supervision (whilst still being vigilant)
