Origami Extreme - Part 07!!!

Image
By

This is another Origami collection (oh yeah). It’s been a long time since the last one, so I bet you’re pretty excited. This time, however, is about cats. And for those who don’t know me well enough, I dislike cats. Well, I love Doraemon, Tom, and Garfield, but maybe they’re it! I cannot really tell why I’ve chosen to fold cats this time. Maybe I should learn to do what I don’t enjoy also, for better or worse.

During the time I was working with Origami cats, I have lost my interest in them even further. Looking for good diagrams was as hard as scratching my back, and folding them was also an uneasy task. To be honest, about half of what I folded this time do not look like cats to me. This concludes my ramblings. Let us look at them, shall we?

PART 07: CATS

CAT by Seiji Nishikawa – Simple and nice. It’s a cat by the way.


CAT by Dave Brill – Very challenging you can tell. He looks like a tiger to me, but he really is a cat!


TUBBY CAT by Kimura Yoshihisa – My favorite. So tubby!

CAT by Herman Van Goubergen – It was tricky working with her face and gesture. What a cat!


STALKING CAT by Patricia Crawford – I know he looks like a weasel, don’t need to tell me. The truth is: he is a cat. Why his neck is so long, you ask? Because he is a stalking cat!!!


GATO by J Anibal Voyer – Nice and cute. The best thing is people can tell this is a cat. Or what not.


CAT by Noboru Miyajima – a complex model. Very nice looking cat.


SEATED CAT by Dave Brill – He is not a lion, he is a handsome cat!


GATO by Roman Diaz – Oh my, what we have here? A princess cat! She’s like a mascot of some fashion brand.


CAT by Eric Joisel – The best model of this collection to me. Fairly complicated. Nice face. Awesome posture. Except for the laser cannon-looking tail, he looks indeed like a cat.


BONUS:
This is the most famous CAT model. Even my girlfriend can fold this. Everyone should try!

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

By
How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

It's Hard to Share!

By
I like to share. It’s not like donating stuffs (it’s good too) but more like… introducing to other people what I find interesting. So actually this post’s title should be: “ It’s Hard to… Introduce ”, but it wouldn’t sound as good. So there you go. Songs, books, movies, games… Whenever I find one interesting I’d love to show it to another person – like a “maven”*, if you know the term, even though I am not as specialized and valuable. It’s pretty much become a hobby of mine. “ Hey, you want to hang out? Come to my place and I’ll show you this awesome video clip I found last week!” And one day I finally realized the ugly truth, and I am sharing it with you right now. Well, the title exposes it: sharing interesting things is hard. It’s very weird, really, because when I share with someone the stuff I found, it’s not as interesting as before ! Almost always, when I play a movie or the song while introducing about it super-enthusiastically, I will feel that the movie or the ...

Origami Extreme - Part 08!!!

By
The other day, I came to watch some of my friends performing in the play called The Birds, and it was really fun! So I decided to make another Origami collection; this time it’s about birds – small birds which (supposedly) are all nice and peaceful. Anyway, I love things that fly. Talking about Origami, I now find myself avoiding overly-complicated models each of which would take days to complete. Instead, I’d go for fairly simple ones which are fast to make and still look really nice. That’s why I like more and more the models of John Montroll: really efficient.   PART 08: THE LITTLE BIRD   CURLEW by Tom Defoirdt – I had no idea that a curlew was. I had fun time folding it nonetheless. EXTINCT BIRD by Nicolas Terry – Mr. Terry always creates unique models. This “bird” was the most challenging for me in this collection. GORRION SPARROW by Roman Diaz – What?! There are different types of sparrows? I never knew! HORNED OWL by Hideo Komatsu – The thin...
