Origami, Week 32
Week 32, August 4th – August 8th
Dollar Armadillo
Yet another dollar origami. I’m starting to hate these for a couple of reason. One, dollar cloth just doesn’t take a fold very well. Second, a dollar bill is smaller than a normal origami square. So this is a tiny tiny armadillo. The plating folds didn’t take very well. Still, I like the ears.
Travel Wallet
The idea here is that when you travel, you take the local newspaper and make a wallet out of it as a keepsake. I didn’t have any foreign currency or foreign newspapers on hand to demonstrate, but I’m sure you get the idea.
Cat Head & Body
I feel like I’ve done this before. It’s probably just because I’ve done a dog and a rat before.
Panda
I really wish the designer would take into account what’s on the back of the origami sheets. The June 7th page had a black back (instead of orange), so it’s clear that they intended it to be used for today’s origami. But all the yellow and stuff on the back ruin the effect. Or it makes the panda look like it has a face-tattoo.
As always, these origami designs were found in the Origami Page-A-Day Desk Calendar.

Methinks this is not going to wrap up by the end of the year…

Maybe you made the panda inside out.

Eh…I’m only about a month behind in folding these, I just need to do some picture taking, and I do have a back log. I screwed up the date on this one (originally it read June 4th – 8th), so really I only have about 20 more weeks to do, and there are 7 weeks left in the year. I could just do some three-a-weeks, and if I fall behind I’ll just do a “12 days of Origami” year end blowout.

You did not address my comment.

Well, first of all, it’s really hard to turn a 2-D object “inside out”. But second of all, if you mean “maybe I had the paper turned the wrong way”…..have you ever seen a panda?
