My Second Senbazuru (1000 Origami Cranes)

OrigamiSpaceMan: Thing for Storing Round Flat Things In.

This is a test fold of a CD holder.

I used a 15cm x 15cm sheet which made it to difficult to complete the final folding.

It works though.

This is what 1,000 Paper Cranes looks like when it's split into 25 bags of 40 cranes.

OrigamiSpaceMan: Mitsubishi (bless you).

Today Linda and I visited a large hobby-crafts store.
I'd been excited about this trip for 8 days.
I nearly burst.

The reality was somewhat disappointing.
I had gone believing I would find an extensive range of origami papers.
The choice was quite poor.
I picked up a multipack and trudged around some more.

Linda found the decoupage bit, found a bottle of goo and a cardboard penguin.

I digress.

Back at home I find the multipack contains a number of black sheets.
I decide to build a modular flower.
It has three elements which, when completed look very impressive.

What colour goes with black?
Red of course! (or you could CHOSE ANOTHER COLOUR!).

I made three leaves and attached them to the flower assembly.

I hung it on the wall, I stood back, then I saw it.

OrigamiSpaceMan: Various.

OrigamiSpaceMan: The Space Ship Fold (that should have been a frog).

I failed spectacularly whilst attempting to fold a frog, but managed to save the day by creating a space ship.

I don't believe you could read a sentence like that on any other blog.

OrigamiSpaceMan: Butterfly, Angel Fish, Lily, Tulip, & Stem.

I've used Wahsi paper for some of these folds.
The Washsi paper I've got seems quite thick which makes some of the multiple folds quite difficult.

So, here they are:

The Butterfly

The Angel Fish

Lily, Tulip, and Leaf with Stem.

Out of the recent crop I'd say the lily fold is by far the most fiddly but the results are quite pleasing.
