Maybe I should've done it a long time ago, but I just decided to follow the trend with gallery-topics . So here's my official topic for my origami creations. For my first post, I have a huge update with very different type of models than usual.
Mushroom
Here's an update to the predecessor of my chess pieces. I use a technique where you first form a closed cylinder with vertical pleats. It's very useful in creating circular models and it's something I will probably use frequently in the future.
Umbrella
Uses the same technique mentionned. Actually, it has almost the same base as my mushroom, but without the color changes.
Sphere
Origami spheres are really rare... Anyway, this one is almost perfect, with the length and all. The shaping just needs a bit of work. The picture really don't do it justice though. Knowing the technique involved, I'm sure it's easy to figure out how it was made.
Candy cane
Incredibly simple model using the cylinder technique. In fact, the crease pattern for it consists only of vertical lines .
Pine Tree
This model uses yet again the cylinder technique, but is in some way level-based. More types of trees are coming by the way.
Catapult
One of my old models. This one is also my very first version : it didn't really need any updates at all. It also actually works : it can throw small objects at a distance of at least 1 meter. Oh, and yes, it is kami paper. I didn't use foil paper like usual since it needs to be rigid to be able to throw objects. There's an elastic at the base because the model doesn't hold by itself (curse you, kami paper!)
Lady of the Court
My final creation of the month is a boxpleated person. My goal was to be able to use flaps in front of the body effectively. Here, the flaps became two ribbons. I also like how the background color changes so much with each model.
