Origami Extreme - Part 08!!!

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 thingy underneath the owl was from another square.

HUMMING BIRD by Peter Engel – A tiny little bird! Actually this Origami version has the size of my wrist.

NIPPONIA NIPPON by Sakasegawa Takashi – Strange birds! Long names! Long author’s name, too! Weird!

PELICAN by John Montroll – I have always been interested in pelicans. They look so happy for some reason.

PENGUIN by Marc Kirschenbaum – I was quite satisfied with the result of this. Definitely my favorite.

SCARLET MACAW by Ashimura Shunichi – A simple parrot is sitting on my glass! Call 911!

SWAN by Manuel Sirgo – Swans are beautiful. I am happy with this one a lot.

So yeah, that’s it for now. I hope you’d enjoy these birds. Thank you!
