origami lately
Continuing my work on my business card web site, I folded the business card dragon that I found diagrams for on flickr. It's an interesting model. Not too complicated, although it does use box pleating and the card thickness can get a little unwieldy in some places. It also takes 5 cards that have to be glued together.


I also folded the pig with diagrams by the same author as the dragon. This one requires some judgment folds and gets very thick. I was only partly happy with my fourth try.


I tried folding the Penta Flinger model from Wings and Things: Origami That Flies out of light card stock business cards. It worked out okay, but I ended up gluing it for stability, and regular thickness business cards wouldn't work well.



I also folded another six card orb then revisited the 4 card orb design.


This is a tessellation based on Nick Robinson's Green Man model, folded from an 11 inch square of Thai mulberry paper with "3-D" dye.




And finally a few small Tomoko Fuse boxes.
