Origami

Ladybug:
Nothing compared to the giraffe and pegasus, but ah well.

The thing on the right is supposed to be a pig, but I'm not sure if I've folded it correctly, because the last time I did it was about 6 years ago. I used to know how to make this fancy 3D-ish star as well, but I can only remember the 2D-parts now.

SonofZ3:
The pig looks good, and it reminds me of a pig that can be folded from a dollar bill, always gets a smile at a bar when part of the tip is origami folded money, and frogs are always fun =)

Emaline:
I am pretty sure my origami skillz fail when being compared to anyone else, but I can still make some awesome things. I'll post some tomorrows.


Also, as of right now, I have around 40 different origamis. Currently, they are all crowding around in my windowsill. It's getting pretty full, and some are falling down through out the day. This sucks, because I really want to display them all. So my question to you, fellow origami lovers, how should I go about displaying them? I have a bookshelf that I am considering putting them on, but I was also thinking of buy some fishing wire, and either making a mobile, or just hanging them from my ceiling.

SonofZ3:
Mostly I just leave them at the front desk of the clinic I work at and they slowly dissapear as my coworkers find ones they like and take them home. At my apt I have a black DVD shelf unit I keep them on. For shelving, I suggest a nifty little thing called "zots", little adhesive circles you can attatch to the legs/tail/whatever of a model to keep it from falling over. I've only ever hung up modular and cranes before. For modular I usually tie a bead to a piece of fishing line, and then use a long beading needle to thread a crane or two onto it, then the modular. for putting the modular on I slightly open up opposite corners and use a 8 in or so long piece of wire to  thread the fishing line through it. Add another crane or two and they look nice. For crane garlands I just use the beading needle and fishing line. Folding cranes from small (1 1/4 in squares of foil) can make nice earrings too. I'll try to find a pic of some to post.

Runs_With_Scissors:
Aw man, I made an origami cross inside of a heart and gave it to my overly religious mother for valentines day. I'll have to find some pics, it was almost amazing but not quite.
