Origami, Week 41
Week 41, October 6th – October 10th
Crane
This is like the great granddaddy of them all. People make thousands of them for peace. I guess if you had war-like intentions and you saw the sort of fierce dedication that it takes to make a million cranes, you would think “I want no part of this!”
Two-Tone Crane
When I first saw this, I thought it said “Two-Ton” Crane, and then I got excited, because I thought it would be an awesome origami play on words (the origami equivalent of a pun?) and show a piece of construction equipment. But alas, it’s just a multi-colored crane.
Plump Crane or Hextuple-Amputee Octopus
So what Origami do I get for my birthday? A fat crane.
Nesting Crane
Quite poignant, a simple origami of a crane in a restful pose.
Parrot
So, just a little bit ago, they had me do a massive two day parrot, with lots of mountain folds and stuff. And now they whip out this simpler one. And while the other one is certainly more impressive…I still think people would figure out this is a parrot like bird.
As always, these origami designs were found in the Origami Page-A-Day Desk Calendar.

I would have no idea that was a parrot if you hadn’t told me. And the “plump crane” looks more like a 2-legged octopus. I’m just saying.

I decided to embrace the ambiguity of the Plump Crane.

The parrot problem is due to the image cropping. Ranjeet really needs to work on that.

The image cropping is only on the thumbnail, not on the image you see when you click it. WordPress kinda does that on it’s own.

Yeah, I clicked on it. I was just trying to be helpful.
