Mushroom

Found this one while walking to campus today. Unexpectedly difficult to photograph - my camera auto-focus would far rather select grass. I may yet be forced to read the instructions.

A good end

Sometimes all my arrows go where they're supposed to. If you don't recognise the fletching and think that the shafts are the wrong colour, it's because they're club arrows.

Lots of pretty paper

I've recently noticed quite how much pretty origami paper I have. This makes me very happy. Thanks to everyone who has helped me gather this collection.

Origami pinecone


I agree with the book that although it may not look much like a pinecone (in this particular instance, this is enhanced by the paper I chose) it does look very pretty. A good example the problems with diagramming 3D elements of designs - I very nearly gave up on this one.

Origami swan

From Origami Step by Step, otherwise know as the Eeevil Origami book. This is the design that Ni failed at on my origami evening. Having made it, I can see why.
