I have decided to try my hand at Origami. I will be posting my creations in this thread.

Thankyou, Saundra.

The swans are my favourite. It could be I have uploaded so many photos your computer is struggling or maybe my image hosting server is slow today? There should be three photos of the cat('s head) and two of the swans. My plan is to do one or two photos per completed model but I thought it might be fun to do one 'step by step' (probably the next one) and show all the stages.

Sailboat.

I am using blue coloured paper for the sailboat (it is blue on one side and white on the other).

Thanks.

I made a frog this morning. It was difficult with Sheep watching and making frog noises trying to put me off.

OK .. the frog is my fav so far .. and how many did you mess up before you got them so precise? You need one of Martha Stewart's "bone folders" .. I always really wondered why you would need one of those but I do believe you do.

I remember my Mother making the 3 dimensional stars close to christmas out of different colored paper and dipping them in paraffin to hang on the tree.

Believe it or not every model in this thread was my first attempt. The frog was the hardest but it turned out. The ones I messed up were a pigeon (first attempt the wings were too small...second attempt the wings were too big and the body was too small because I had allocated too much paper to the wings - I overcompensated), a dog (one ear was bigger than the other) and a space shuttle (first attempt I 'felt' the wings were too small...second attempt the fuselage was too thin because I had allocated too much paper to the wings). I have done a few that turned out fine but did not post pictures of (a piano, a house, a pig and a rowing boat).

The swans are my favourite. They look so elegant with the long necks. What are "bone folders"?

"A bone folder or bonefolder is a dull edged device used to crease material in crafts such as bookbinding, card making and any other craft where a sharp crease is needed. It is also used for marking fabric where a temporary mark needs to be made without damaging the material. Often made from the leg bone of a cow, deer, or similar animal"

Thanks, Saundra and Gaye.

The baby frog is my favourite. There is something strange about the frogs. It is as if the brain recognises the shape. They seem strangely real.

Thanks, Saundra. It is so nice to have an audience for my hobby. The duck is my favourite even though it is not as difficcult as the others. I have attempted another walrus (black) as I felt the first one (green) was a bit rough around the edges (and I thought the black would be a good contrast with the white teeth) but I am having to unfold the green one as I cannot remember how to do it.
