Two views of the same berry, a nice variation of the time-tested and much tossed water bomb base. Made with a square cut from half an A4 page, the smaller you make these the more realistic the shape.
Quite happy with the hull (or calyx) although some of my more nerdier botanist friends will argue that it should have 5 subdivisions not 4.
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)
This is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of pre-folding, you make one model, unfold it and bend it into another model. I pride myself of folding this from memory – not bad given I have not folded it in at least 15 years.
One piece of paper (photocopy A4 is not great as it frays after 3 or 4 creases on the same line) cut square, no additional cuts, no glue – all class.
Design by Jack Skillman, USA, 1965 (I first saw it in a Robert Harbin “Origami 2” book I own)
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.
