Origami, Week 22
Week 22, May 26th – May 30th
This week, I learned about the frog base. The main thing I’ve learned is : RUN AWAY FROM THE FROG BASE. Whenever I saw the phrase “Start with a frog base”, I would cringe, almost reflexively. By the time I had the base finished, my origami square has enough folds to make another further work nigh-impossible. You hear that! Nigh! Well, enough whining.
Frog
Bold move, Origami Calendar. You label this as the frog, with no modifying adjective. So, all other frogs are inferior, corruptions of this ideal frog! Bow before it!
Lily
Not bad, Origami Calendar, not bad. This kinda looks like the actual flower.
Russian Cicada
I’m not sure what makes this cicada Russian. Maybe it can read Cyrillic.
Tulip
This was another two-dayer, one for the blossom, one for the stem. You know, I would feel bad if I were the stem. You get a whole day to yourself, and you think that finally, you will have your time to shine…and they cover you up with that blossom again, your mortal enemy, that attention-stealing hussy. Blossom, I’d watch my back if I were you.
As always, these origami designs were found in the Origami Page-A-Day Desk Calendar.
