Origami Extreme - Part 10!!!

Image
By


Here I start a new year with a BAM: A brand new Origami collection!!! The collection this time is about animals, a little bit of this and that. All the models are from John Montroll’s Animal Origami for the Enthusiast (1985). It’s a wonderful book filled with detailed diagrams of models ranging from simple to pretty complicated. Mr. Montroll’s models are all folded by one uncut square, and that’s why he’s my favorite. I really enjoyed folding these models. Bluebell once again helped with the title picture.

PART 10: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES

FOX by John Montroll – one of my favorites. When I was little I memorized this dude.



BEAR by John Montroll – He is all white, maybe a polar bear. SAVE the polar bears!!!


OWL by John Montroll – Silent in the dark: are you a dark knight too?


WALRUS & SEA LION by John Montroll – I combine these two because they are quite similar. Maybe one has trunks(?) and one doesn’t?


GIRAFFE by John Montroll – Giraffes  are fascinating creatures. I think of them more than just long-neck deer.


KANGAROO by John Montroll – This guy is also fun. Vietnamese people call him “a mouse with a bag”.


ELEPHANT by John Montroll – This model turned out to be very cute! It has become a gift to a good friend of Arwen.


ANTELOPE by John Montroll – The most complicated model of the collection. I am quite satisfied with the result. It’s also Arwen’s favorite. (That’s why she is holding it in the pictures).


ANGELFISH by John Montroll – Such a fancy name for a simple model. Matter not! When they are many they can still be impressive! : )





And this is it for this Origami collection! I hope you enjoy this series, because I really do. Thank you all for reading this post. Let me know which model you like the best!

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...
