Origami, Week 27
Week 27, June 30th – July 4th
Dollar Bowtie
This origami desk calendar always uses dollar bills. I can only assume that somewhere there is an excelsior version out there, some Platinum Edition, where you use $100 bills or something.
Ladybug
This would be more impressive if the backside of the paper was consistently colored, instead of being both red and white. Even more impressive if it was actually black. And still more impressive if it didn’t look like I stepped on it.
Dollar Bill Snail
I’ll have to thank Gina for this one. I felt it was impossible, even though I know it is. I had neither the dexterity nor the patience to get this one going. Stupid dollar bills.
Snail
To counter the catastrophe of the dollar bill snail, here’s a more reasonable snail. I think he/she/it looks quite dignified.
Betsy Ross’ Star
Oh man, this is super lame. Super duper lame. Pretty much folding this paper a few times, and then taking some scissors to it.
As always, these origami designs were found in the Origami Page-A-Day Desk Calendar.
