Origami, Week 7
After a long hiatus, they’re back! I have quite a backlog of Origami to discuss. I wouldn’t want people to visit any one of the many other blogs doing the exact same thing, except perhaps with more precision and skill.
Week Seven, February 11-15
Mrs. Cicada
This was actually pretty cool looking. I think I would be more impressed with 10,000 cicadas instead of cranes. I guess it’s the thought that counts.
Hot Lips
Okay, this was just ridiculous. I think they were stoned when they came up with this. It would probably be quite fascinating to a person who was high. But don’t just take my word for it, here it is in action:
Stand Up Heart
Hearts are probably inevitable this week. This one is true to its word; it is freestanding, not requiring support of the background.
Hearts
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today’s origami also promotes conservation, because you can make two hearts from each square of origami.
Mr. Cicada
I gather this is Mrs. Cicada’s husband, and together these insects bookend the week. Honestly, I doubt these people vetted these designs with an entomologist, because my cursory internet searching (meaning, first link I found) indicates that you can tell the difference between the male and the female by turning it over and looking for the ovipositor. I assure you, I did not fold an ovipositor. I would have washed my hands immediately afterward.
