Day 136 - Origami cat by Roman Diaz

Model	: Origami cat by Roman Diaz
Design	: Roman Diaz
Complexity	: Difficult
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: www.origamichile.cl
Video	: Benjingling
Paper	: Rectangle Half of 4.5 Inches square

This model needs a rectangle to start with.I found diagram as well as video instruction for the model but I found the diagram better. I know its sounds strange when I say diagram is better because I never liked following the diagrams,but this time I found the diagram easier.

After few failed attempts on folding the model I was somewhat successful with the model.My model doesnot stand properly though it should have.Also I could not get the finer details properly like whiskers though the cheeks came out properly and many more finer details.

One of the failed attempts

Finally something near abt the model.I am exhausted ! Uff... I am not trying any more kitty.

Day 135 - Origami cat by Gilad Aharoni

Model	: Origami cat by Gilad Aharoni
Design	: Gilad Aharoni
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: www.Giladorigami.com
Video	: Marigami
Paper	: 4.5 Inches

I tried following the diagram but was lost midway.It seems I am really bad at following diagrams so I searched for the video instructions and luckily I found one on Marigami's channel on YouTube.

After trying so many cute cats this one does not look so cute .I found the cat face to be the toughest in the whole model,especially while making the eyes and nose.

One should start with a big paper else its really difficult to make the face.

Model	: Origami Cat-3
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction
Video	: About.com
Paper	: 1/4 of 3*3 Inch one side coloured square paper . 2 square papers

It can be treated as a 2D as well as 3D model as it can stand too. It requires 2 squares,one each for head and body.You can assemble using glue or just tuck the body part into the pocket created in the head even though that would be very frail assembly but that's an option.

Good model for card making.

Origami Cat-2

Model	: Origami Cat-2
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction
Photo Instructions	: Card Making @ CircleOfCrafters.com
Paper	: 3*3 Inch one side coloured square paper . 3 square papers

It's turning out to be a origami cat week,though I didn't search the models intentionally but found them interesting and moreover easy.

It's a 2D model. I stumbled upon this cat model on a card making site called Card Making @ CircleOfCrafters.com.This cat requires 3 square papers .one each for face,body and tail.
The units are to be assembled using glue.

Origami Cat-1

Day 132 - Origami Cat-1

Model	: Origami Cat-1
Design	: Hiroaki Takai
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: Diagramed by Hiroaki Takai
Paper	: Post-it notes.Rectangle

This is a cute little cat .I traced this model from the website www.origamispirit.com.This model is created by Hiroaki Takai but the page has 2 little cat models of which one is modified form of the model by Hirokai.I could fold only the one diagrammed by Hiroaki as the other one does not have a diagram there nor do I have that much imagination to manipulate and create it.

This model needs a rectangle.You can get that by dividing your regular square in half. Preferable to use both side same coloured paper for the model.One needs to be careful while shaping the ears of the cat else its an easy model.

Origami Cat Nap

Day 131 - Origami Cat Nap

Model	: Origami Cat Nap
Design	: Philip Schulz
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: Diagramed by Philip Schulz
Paper	: 4.5 Inches

Origami Cat nap is based on Origami fish base.As I am really bad at following diagrams only I serached for video instructions and found none .Most of the pplaces where I found the diagram it was incomplete.
It was in origami.happymagpie.com that I found the complete diagram.

Somehow I managed following the diagram( even though the author is so clear in the diagram ) and made my cute little cat nap model.As the paper I choose was too stiff the cats tail kept on going away from the intended position so I cheated a little and used glue to keep it in place :D.

Here's my cat nap model.

Origami cat

Day 130 - Origami Cat

Model	: Origami Cat
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: www.giladorigami.com
Video	: Super1600
Paper	: 3*3 Inch one side coloured square paper

This one is simple only for the part where you crease - open and refold to get the body and the tail.

I found the instructionson youtube on a channel by super1600.The video instructions are good to follow but one needs to be really careful and make crisp folds to get the exact model also certain places the folds dont seem clear as they are very small folds and the paper colour is reflecting making it tough to understand the fold.
