Traditional Crane

So, uh. I locked in a bit too hard, on my day off from work (hence my fucked-up hair)...

...and folded my first origami model that uses tracing paper. Following in the success of my crane that I folded from a 1 cm square of mulberry paper earlier today, I folded yet another crane... but this time, it was made from a 0.5 cm square of tracing paper.

I had ICU ASMR playing in the background that entire time, since working on this thing under a light with two tweezers (for maximum precision), gloves (to prevent my fingertip sweat from warping the paper), and a mask (so I didn't accidentally breathe the model out of my grasp) made it genuinely feel like I was performing surgery on this model. It actually worked out a lot better than I could've ever guessed to get me fully immersed and invested into the project.

2 mg tablet of Estradiol for scale again, but I also included a single grain of white jasmine rice for additional emphasis on how small this model is. It's half the size of a grain of goddamn rice. This is now the SMALLEST origami model that I've ever folded in my entire life.

I'm never doing this shit again. _(ᐛ 」∠)_

Nov 11 is Origami Day and also Kamille's birthday, so I did a refold of my origami Kamille. One uncut square of triple tissue paper (blue on one side and white on the other).

Tried getting some more dimension shaped into his hair this time.

Bonus group photo with previous Kamille and Quattro/Char folds.

riddle hedgehog attempt no.2! i quite like this one hehe

his body is made completely of wool including his ears, with a little superglue keeping it together (had no hot glue on hand...). the eyes are 3d printed with a dot of white paint, and the roses and crown are origami. the rose on him was painted and the paper kinda died but its fine lmao this is what happens when we use printer paper for origami
