After folding 'Tired' and 'Very tired' the idea of a sleeping man using the same folding filosofy came to my mind. Designing this model was easy. It is also a 3x1 rectangle (22x66 cm). The key to a succeful model is the shaping part. I used wet folding techniques to shape the pillow and blanquets trying to make them look like real fabric. The paper is blue Geltex glued to orange silk
Folded from a 20x20 cm double kozo square paper. One side painted with dark brown acrylic. The drumsticks are folded from a 8x4 cm rectangle kozo paper painted with black acrylic. The final diameter of the drum is 5.3 cm.
Picaruelo - your work is absolutely amazing and breathtaking. I especially love the animal figurines you makes. You have the proportions established perfectly. Also the Christmas scenery is incredible. I hope you're praised artist in Spain because you definitely deserve it!

Thank you very much for your kind words. These days some of the models from the Christmas Scenery are on display in the Origami Museum (EMOZ) http://www.emoz.es/ in Zaragoza.

This model is a deduction of Fernando Gilgado's model "The Dancing Skeleton". You can see the original here:https://www.flickr.com/photos/gilgado/12252027414/: . The head and the hips are different. I designed it for the exhibition that is taking place in Madrid from the 15th of January to the 15th of February. It is located in Centro Cultural Pilar Miró. Pza/ Antonio Maria Segovia s/n

my ninth musician for the band, a woman. She is folded from a 45x45 cm kozo square paper. Final height of the model is 20,5 cm. Trombone folded from a 36x6 cm kozo paper painted with deep gold acrylic. The final length of the trombone is 9 cm.
The Bear and the Strawberry Tree is the symbol of Madrid. It is part of its coat of arms. It is also a popular statue in the city center. I have folded it from a 96x96 cm square paper. What I like about this model is that it is half crumpled (tree) and half folded (bear). I am happy with the result althought I think I can still improve it modelling better legs and closing the back of the bear.
Hi, today I present my 10th musician, the sousaphonist:
Dwarf folded from a 63x63 cm square kozo paper. The model is a slight modification of Joisel's dwarf, adding two grafts to get a big moustache and squared shoes. Sousaphone folded from a 24x72 cm isosceles triangle kozo paper painted with deep gold acrylic. You can see more on this model in my blog http://picaruelo-english.blogspot.com.es
my last model is my final dwarf in my music band. The harpist:
Dwarf folded from a 63x63 cm square kozo paper. The model is a slight modification of my Mylady to add pigtails and shoes. Harp folded from a 50x4,17 cm kozo rectangle kozo paper painted with brown water colour. The strings are narrow stripes of kozo paper (1mm wide). The model was designed by Eric Joisel and deduced and released by Ricardo Montecinos. The stool is my own design, folded from a square of 260 grams paper painted with black acrylic.
today I want to show 4 CPs. Two of them my own designs, Milady and my harpist. The third is a modification of Joisel's dwarf and the last one the deduction of Joisel's sousaphone.
Thank you to all of you that have helped me with this project, with your comments, advices or simply by looking at the photos and comments I have been releasing during this last year.
