Modular Origami - Peacock

After a long gap I am here with my next project. I should say this was a marathon :) This project has been dragging on for more than a month and now finally I have completed it. First I ran out of paper and then I had a difficult time figuring out how to put the head of the peacock. Still not very satisfied with the head I have got.

Here are the pictures of my peacock



And the instructions to do this can be found @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiDLRbdE7tc

I almost forgot the number of sheets / modules i used for this... it just seemed like a never ending project. Happy to have completed it atlast :)

Modular Origami - Swan

This is my second modular project. The swan turned out to be too good. Initially I made a bigger one and then modified it to make a smaller one. The bigger one was difficult to handle and was coming apart easily. The smaller one is more stable :)

Below is the bigger version swan carrying some roses


And finally the modular combo. I jus love this :)


And now to how I did it... The bigger swan consumed about 14-15 sheets of paper, which makes it around 480 modules... The tricky part would be getting the neck curve right :) it comes off easily. The solution I found was to have the lower half of the neck modules in one direction and the upper half in the opposite direction. You can notice this difference between the bigger swan and smaller one.

And for the instructions...

Modular Origami - Flower Basket

This is modular flower basket. Modular as it is made from small units which are joined together. The below basket consumed about 12-13 sheets of paper. Each sheet gives 32 modules... so you can say this has around 400 modules!

This is the top view of the basket, gives a clear picture of the pattern I have tried to create using different colors.

The final basket fitted with handles. It stands around 3-4 inches tall (without including the handle)
