Speaking of Hand-made Gifts (The best kind)




A swan I made for S-girl.

It's not technically 'origami' since 3D modular papercrafting is a Chinese style but the word 'origami' as a word in the English lexicon doesn't really mean strictly Japanese paperfolding anymore anyway.
If you're interested just Google '3d modular swan' and you'll find instructions.

  2. WOW THAT IS INCREDIBLE! You think you could post the link to instructions in the next blog post. I know it takes much more than just looking at a guide to do this kind of thing though

    1. The creation of the modules takes up the most time and it's dependent on how much time you put into making them. I made them while sitting in lecture and such, I can't give you any kind of estimate for that. Assembling the pieces into the final form doesn't take long at all.
