Origami, Week 25
Week 25, June 16 – June 20th
Sweet Swallow
I’ll admit, this didn’t get my best effort. Step 5 was pretty impossible. As such, this swallow is pretty depressed. That’s why it’s pointing downwards.
Offering Stand
It seems like this would be a better stand if it was upside down, but I am not an expert in offering stands, so I’m sure there is a subtle and spirtual reason it is the way it is.
Heart Place Card
Yet another heart-related origami. This one is perfect for putting on your mantel.
Wedding Noshi
This is something you’re supposed to give at a wedding, I suppose. It contains folded representations of a tortoise and a crane, which both are supposed to give good luck. I’m not going to take the time to actually look up what they mean, but I’m going to guess that the tortoise represents a long marriage, and the crane represents fertility or something, since cranes are big birds, like storks, and storks deliver babies.
Boutonniere
What lucky lady wouldn’t want to be presented one of these by Ranjeet?
As always, these origami designs were found in the Origami Page-A-Day Desk Calendar.
