Friday, June 18th, Saturday June 19th and Sunday June 20th - The crown

The crown was again simple, quite neat but waaaay too small for a head. Its also kind of a weird foreign looking crown. The crown is designed to go on a father's day card where you draw a picture of a man and put a crown on it and call your father the king for a day. But see, I think that fathers get the raw end of the deal. Mothers get flowers and chocolates. Fathers i would assume would want car related things and beer. Not crowns.

Thursday, June 17th - The seal

I like this week's origami. Its simple and it kind of works. I say kind of because at most angles, my seal looks like the loch ness monster.

Wednesday, June 16th - The flipping horse

Now, Ill admit I went into this task very pessimistic. The instructions indicated that at the end of folding my horse would be able to flip. Since none of my creations so far have been able to do that you would understand why i really wasnt feeling it.
So I folded. And then I tried to flip. The horse flips!!!!! It really does!!! And to prove it i put a video in.

Tuesdaym, June 15th - the sea turtle

The sea turtle was horrifying. Not because it was insanely difficult, no. The folds were actually all very straight forward. What was horrifying was that halfway through I got completely lost as to what I was actually folding and was just folding mechanically. Some would argue that that's good, because you become objective and it should come out better. That doesnt seem to be the case. For reference, in the picture, the turtle's head is supposedly on the right. It is not supposed to have a tail.

Monday, June 14th - The sitting eagle

I love easy origami. The sitting eagle is nice and easy. No complicated folds, just straight forward sense. I think the reason I was folding an eagle today is because it's flag day in the USA. According to my reliable source (Wikipedia), flag day celebrates the day the USA got their flag. The term wikipedia use is to "adopt" a flag, but all i can think about when i see adopt is kittens and puppies (more kittens than puppies).
Anyway.
Ill admit the nails are not particularly america, but its world cup time and I like themed nails.

Friday, June 11th, Saturday, June 12th and Sunday June 13th - The big gulper

Im not sure what a big gulper is, but i enjoyed making it. It uses two bits of paper and makes something thats supposed to have teeth and a big mouth. I couldnt work out how to join the two bits together though so I ended up just holding them together for the picture. It does kind of look like something with teeth and a big mouth

Thursday, June 10th - The happy/mad dragon

I failed. I was following the instructions and suddenly it stopped looking like what it was supposed to look like.I cant quite work out what ive done wrong. I may try again later on this week but for now im distracted by other things like going to london in 10 minutes to go see bon jovi at the o2 arena.
Also something might have been distracting me when I was doing the origami. I had someone looking over my shoulder the whole time. it wasnt helpful.
No picture.
