Wednesday, June 9th - Cheap sunglasses

Todays task, cheap sunglasses, is predicatbly something that has triggered a bit of a rant in my head. For one the finished product is way too small for even a baby head. And on top of that theyre not really sunglasses, theyre sun blocking devices. The sun can definitely not pass through them, so they would be pointless for endeavours such as driving...

Tuesdaym June 8th - The roadrunner

Another nice straight forward one. It started with a bird base, which I used to not like but now it doesnt bother me too much. And i think it kind of looks like the road runner. Although i did give it freaky eyes.

Monday, June 7th - The monitor lizard

The monitor lizard is another origami creation that required a picture of the actual thing for comparison:
Now Im not going to slam the design, because a four year old girl did this and Im actually feeling nice today. It was a nice easy little thing to make. i cant say much more because I might be mean and im trying not to be today.

Friday June 4th, Saturday June 5th and Sunday June6th - The dragonfly

The dragonfly was complicated. One instruction in particular made me want to throw my calendar out of the window: "Bring flaps up, under top flap, and open them". It took me a while to decipher it.
With some guesswork and some cool calm collected thought, I managed to fold something that could look like a dragonfly, if you squint a little

Thursday, June 3rd - The paloma

I tried to google paloma to find out what it was. I was unable to get a clear answer.
The folding was actually really nice and simple, and gives a satisying result. If i could be bothered I'd learn to do it off by heart but I cant. Ive already folded to instructions into the next origami... It caused an issue because I forgot what this origami was called and had to try and find the name on the finished version of tomorrow's origami...

Wednesday, June 2nd - Coaster 2

Coaster 2 is coaster 1 with an extra fold on each side. I redid the whole thing because I thought it would be a nice non-lazy thing to do. Sooooo not worth it. On top of that my coaster doesnt look very good because for some reason the points are supposed to meet in the middle and mine dont.
Never mind.

Tuesday, June 1st - Coaster 1

Surprisingly, I didn't have too much trouble folding this coaster. A month ago, I think I would have had enormous amounts of trouble. Luckily, in the past month, I have acquired vast experience folding The Annoying Fold That I Can Never Fold Right (three valley folds, two mountain folds combined with a valley fold, fold under and squash, all at the same time....).
This coaster is basically made entirely of That Fold. I managed quite well I think.
Unfortunately for the coaster, my version of coasters is old post-its I havent thrown away yet. I have no need for fancier folded versions.
