What I Do When I'm Bored
I make origami! And I nap. But that's not the point.

Stone Coatl
Since I made it myself, it looks anemic/like it only has 50 hp left... :/
It's not a free standing piece, it's leaning against the background. Made from four pieces of paper, no glue! (But it easily falls apart when disturbed, maybe I should glue it.)
One of these days, I'll find out how to make one out of only one (two max) piece(s) of paper. ^-^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did not design the rest of these, I followed instructions from various places (Books, Internet, etc.)


Fail Pegasus vs. Not as much Fail Pegasus
Moral of the story: NEVER use printer paper for complex folds.

Row Boat
The two seats and two oars were made from extra pieces of paper.

Hermit Crab

Crab
The paper used was *thinks* 8x as large as the finished product.
There were four slits, one on each side of the paper at strategic locations. Guess it's not true origami...but it still looks pretty neat. biggrin

Dragon
Good News: It's free-standing!!!
Bad News: Made from three pieces of paper attached by glue. :<

Rose
Made from four pieces of paper--but no glue needed! Took me forever to perfect this...

Dinosaur
I have a smaller, messed up version of this one that looks like the Magical Leopleurodon (however you spell it...) of Candy Mountain. :3

Leviathan
Pay no attention to the block of rosin propping up the orange sea monster. >.>

Bird
You know the Twitter mascot? It's whatever bird that is. Shame, I don't have Twitter.

Thanks! Someone said I should color it; maybe I'll do that one day.

Yeah, I was experimenting with a kotobukizuru (I'll post that sometime) and noticed it looked similar to the Coatl's head. Lucky chance, I suppose. xd

Wow! So cool! Is this difficult to learn? It looks like so much fun!

Some are and some aren't. It's really fun, all you need are some instructions, paper, and some patience.

Youtube is the best place for instructions--they actually demonstrate the folds, there's nothing ambiguous about them.

Omg the leviathan is so cute! xd Lol I think the dragon is cuter though. ninja

Haha they look like a lot of fun to make. biggrin I think I shall check youtube sometime then. surprised

Lol I had an origami book on origami insects, but it was way too complicated/I was using printer paper which I'm sure made the folds harder. ninja

Oh and @the leviathan

He's a sea monster... it's only natural he needs a prop to stand when he's on land. 3nodding
