Project Fold

The Made by a SAM-urai team wants to announce our 2016 challenge, 'Project Fold'. Throughout the year, our team will be altering different origami figures per month. The project's goals are to promote origami awareness, bring Origami into public spaces and challenge the teams creativity.

For the month of January we have decided to focus on ROCKETS. Take a look below at the figures we have created so far and let us know what you think. For up to date photos, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Detailing Origami Houses

For the project I'm doing on hitRECord, I have been asked to do some detailing on the 3D houses I've been making. I draw the bricks on the roofs with sharpie and draw the windows on card stock and then cut them out with a pen knife.

I really love creating miniature figures and working with fine detail.

For the first & second houses, I used green wrapped wires and hand cut mini leaves out of green textured paper.

For the second house, I spent 4 1/2 hours cutting tiny leaves and then pasted them one by one in a layering fashion.

I am very happy with how all three turned out ^____^ Feel free to let me know what you think :D
