Paddy has this to say about the why:

Origami Mailing Envelopes
Crafted from the Daisy’s Envelope diagram in The Origami Bible.
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 [...]
Wordless Origami – Japanese Print Penguin
As modeled from this penguin diagram.
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:

Additionally, the fourth step/fold, where a backwards fold is done, was a bit tricky to get lined up evenly.
I enjoyed doing [...]
Face – Traditional Rabbit-Ear Folding
Diagram:
This face is folded in accordance with Teach Yourself Origami by John Montroll. Pages 38/39.
My Experience:

In any case, this isn’t super complex but is [...]
Origami Fish – Rabbit-Ear Folding
This simple traditional fish is cute, and a rewarding fold.
Diagram:
The fish was folded per diagrams in Teach Yourself Origami by John Montroll, page 37/38.
My Experience:
Starting with the fish base, you are only 7 steps away from finishing the fish. The fish base is made from two rabbit-ear folds.
The fish, though seemingly simple, involved yet [...]
Origami Duck and Outer Reverse-fold
Diagram:
The duck was folded per diagrams in Teach Yourself Origami by John Montroll, page 35.
My experience:
The duck was made with a focus on using the outside reverse-fold. The folds are layed out to end up with a solid colored model when complete.
What’s interesting about folding this is the inital folds get unfolded. Then new [...]

Welcome to Folding Paper, my take on Origami, paper folding and other crafting. I’ll be tackling this from a novice’s point of view, though there might be a nugget or three here for the expert.
The motivation for this blog is that I’ve recently taken up Origami. I’ve always wanted to do this sort of craft [...]
