In the Fold

So someone had asked about the instructions for the origami pieces that I had pictured in my last post. The pictures posted are not actual pictures of origami that I have made, but I have the instructions for them. Instructions for the Triceratops pictured above can be found by clicking!
The Orichid Gives you the step by step instructions and diagrams to follow to make an orchid and the stem for the orchid. You would just need to make as many as you wanted for your bowl or vase.
The Orichid Video More advanced form of the orchids. The videos here give you step by step instructions while allowing you to watch someone make the flowers. This type of orchid is more difficult to make than the other and will take more time and effort to make, especially if you want to make multiple flowers.
As for the unicorn that I had pictured. If you want the diagrams and instructions for it you will need Origami Essence by Roman Diaz. I have searched online and I cannot find instructions for this unicorn, but you can search and find similar ones the mane just won't look the same.

Hope this helps.

Origami

One artistic related topic that I am very interested in is the art of Origami. Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into shapes such as animals, flowers, people, or other objects. Right now I can't really free hand anything when it comes to origami. I have to have the instructions right in front of me. I recently purchased a couple of EASY origami kits from the local dollar store. I bought two different kits an airplane one and an insect one. My friends and I were able to make the butterfly, lady bug, and praying mantis in the insect one, but it was still kind of difficult for us. We haven't even attempted the airplane kit yet. I can make a crane though, but that is probably the easiest thing that you can make in origami. Another thing that I like about origami other than all of the different things you can make are that no two have to be alike. For example if my friends and I were all going to make cranes we could use different sized paper or even paper of different colors or designs. Origami paper does not have to be plain! It can be very detailed and very patterned. I love the origami paper that I have pictured above. Here are some cute origami pictures that I found online:
