Ugh, don't remind me of exams. I just got back from the AP engish literature test...
Instead of studying for euro for tomorrow, I'm getting back to my ancient dragon.

Hah awesome. I hate english but I think I passed. We had some pretty terrible excerpts...
Did you make it out of the back of the labels? When I first noticed they were squares the proctor came to our desks and threw them all away.

Thanks for your compliments

.
I think the legs were meant to be skinny and pointed, giving it sense of light-footed-ness. There isn't much you can do with such little paper in terms of shaping...

But nice job on the torso and the head.

That used to happen to me. Try folding the neck so that it puts less tension on the paper by changing the angle slightly

Amazing owl, well done!

Hey everyone. You wouldn't believe the origami evening I've just had. I'm typing this at 2am and have just returned from my university's campus talent competition. It is the biggest competition of its kind in the country, and geuss what. I got to do the decor!

Imagine this: Hanging from the roof are five modular origami designs each about 3 feet (1 meter) across in a V shape open side front. The roof of the auditorium this event was held in is about 15m high, meaning that these models are suspended Â±5m in the air! The center model is a gyroscope, with six drapes spreading out from just above it. On its wings and a bit lower hang two sonobe balls (30 unit), and on the outside are two umulius rectangulum models (One of which was only a few millimeters from falling!). All this is white.

I also entered a last minute one-night-stand kinda piece as a sculpting arts entry. Coolest new idea in the piece is to mount a FIT in a rotating arangement (made using my construction system). One tetrahedon is gold and the other 4 are black. In the fitting it's in, the gold tetrahedron stands perfectly upright, which creates a great effect. I also won the award (& some ching) for "the most significant contibution to the sculpting arts". Now all of a sudden everyone is asking: "How much do you ask for a show?" I never thought people would like it that much.

I'm only gonna get the foto's next week, so don't stress.
