Ed Hardy as Origami
I’m using the 2010 Ed Hardy Tattoo Art Calendar to craft origami. Each page is of course a square and sturdy enough to fold.
Bonus for this: paying $2.50 for the calendar and getting 365 sheets of folding paper. No two pieces are identical. I have plenty of calendars for 2010 so this one is dedicated to origami.

Origami Penguin Folding Addiction
This little trio isn’t the end but merely the beginning. Finding something I can fold all the way through without looking at the book is a great feeling.
Yes, I’m an origami novice. It’s okay; I’m going to be great some day. Entertaining folks is still possible though. Making a miniature penguin during a meeting today kept me awake and got some attention.
Ingredients? take one note posty – fold a handful of times.
I believe the pattern in the book, Teach Yourself Origami, is likely copyright protected. That said, this is an easy pattern.
This really works best with black and white paper of course, but colors really catch the eye.
There are dozens of origami penguin diagrams. Most of them produce more realistic penguins but few of them are easy enough a beginner could do it in a few minutes.
Reverse folds are the strongest technique you’ll need for this one.

Lis Mitchell brags on Folding Paper
Liz Mitchell, aka Pixelfish, made me blush. She’s written a short but flattering article over on her site about yours truly and this blog, Folding Paper.
Liz’s work covers a myriad of mediums, techniques and styles. Creative drive, and a strong sense of self drive the work. It’s an honor have my own humble origami work pointed out.
Click through and read the review, then leave a thought or two on her blog.

Origami Whale – A sea full of folds
A whale of a good fold.
Diagram:
This whale model was folded based on a diagram at Origami-Club.Com.
My Experience:
Though the whale has very few folds, I had a tough time deciding how far to do each fold.
Additionally, the fourth step/fold, where a backwards fold is done, was a bit tricky to get lined up evenly.
I enjoyed doing this model for both the low number of steps and it is a rewarding model in appearance.
Personalize:
Personalizing is easy enough with a marker, but I’d recommend folding out the tail to distinguish your model.
Additionally, this whale has no hump. Simply fold in near the front and or further in on the back end to give the whale a hump near where the spout would be.
Additional Notes:
This model was constructed with blue paper due to an unfortunate lack of black. I’d recommend black for your model if possible.
The site mentioned above is not really a club. Origami-club.com is the site created by Fumiaki Shingu. It was founded in 2002 and is really a site where models, diagrams, and videos are published demonstrating origami construction. Origami Club encourages the fair use of it’s diagrams.
