Origami, Week 47
Week 47, November 17th – November 21st
Goose
You might be wondering about the weird stripes on the duck. Whenever they tell me to use a piece of printer paper (or, in this case, the instructions tell me to start from an equilateral triangle, but they also showed me how to make an equilateral triangle from an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper, so printer paper it is!), I lose the visual cue of having one side being differently colored. Sometimes, that comes in handy when interpreting the instructions and distinguishing the folds. Because I’m lazy, I just scribbled on one side with a pen. Overall, though, I’m pretty happy with the goose.
Winged Hat
I assume that the winged hat refers to the headwear worn by the Roman god Mercury (or Hermes, if you’re feeling Greek today). I put on this hat and ran around my apartment, but I did not feel any faster. I’ll try wearing it while biking to work some time, and let you know how it goes.
“Booda” Chair
I just…have…no idea.
Pheasant
This one goes out to all my hunting homies out there.
Turkey
We’re coming up on Thanksgiving here, so just to give you a taste, here’s a turkey. Don’t eat too much, though….gotta leave room for seconds.
As always, these origami designs were found in the Origami Page-A-Day Desk Calendar.
