Day 149 - Origami Penguin by Jo Nakashima

Model	: Origami Penguin by Jo Nakashima
Design	: Jo Nakashima
Complexity	: Difficult
Folding Instruction
Video	: Jo Nakashima
Paper	:15 * 15 cm one side coloured square

One more from Jo Nakashima.A wonderful 3D penguin .This one is bit difficult but not too tough.The tough part is the precrease.One needs to have a lot of patience ( of course I have very little patience which is evident from the penguin I have folded).

Only suggestion is do start with a big piece of paper else it becomes difficult to follow the creases.

Day 114 - Origami Turtle by Robert J Lang

Model	: Origami Stealth Fighter
Design By	: Robert J Lang
Website	: langorigami.com
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Video	: Marigami
	: Jonakashima
Book	: Origami Design Secrets by Robert J.Lang
Paper	: 4.5 Inches

Okay another one from the same book Origami Design Secrets by Robert J.Lang.This time it's a turtle.Though my first attempt of the turtle looks really messed up but I feel it was fair enough for the first attempt.

There are a few online instructional videos on the youtube channel by Marigami and Jonakashima.You can follow either of them.

Accurate folding is really a big requirement for this model and yes start with a fairly big square piece of paper. Once you have folded the tail and the legs the important part starts that is shaping the turtle shell and puffing the head .The instruction video may seem to be too fast at this point and you may feel frustrated ( Atleast I felt so when mine was not turning up properly) but be patient and follow the instructions carefully.Be careful while puffing the head and dont rip it.

Model	: Origami Seal
Design By	: Gerwin Sturm
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: Scarygami.net
Book	: Origami: Kreative Falt-Ideen
Paper	: 3*3 Inch 1 side coloured square paper

This is one more of the origami seal models.This model is by Gerwin Sturm.The model is almost similar to the traditional origami seal model with little variation here and there to give it a better shape than the abstract shape it had in the traditional model.

We push the trinagular middle part in and towards the tail we fold a little to give it shape.Also you will notice that the tail is not up but folded in a zia zag manner.

Paper	: 3*3 Inch 1 side coloured square paper

It's a cute little sea creature traditional model starting with a fish base.

Its a 3D standing model but looks a bit abstract.You can draw the eyes I didn't draw because I felt it looks better otherwise.

Origami seahorse

Day 75 - Origami seahorse

Sea horse seemed easy initially but by the time I finished I was exhausted and confused that's the reason why my sea horse doesn't look like one.I lost patience in the final stages where you shape the head part.

I picked this model from YouTube.This video is good enough just that it uses the creased paper so you may loose the track of creases ( as I lost ).A sincere request for first timers to use a bigger paper instead of small one.It goes well with one side coloured paper.
