Origami seahorse

Tutorial by @jonakashima

I used 21cm duo kami. It's an intermediate model. I couldn't shape the tail well, paper became weak and tore at few places because I was figuring out how to fold the tail, give a curve.

420

I didn't get this at first attempt. I lost my cool and felt a bit disappointed. I folded half way and missed a step. Then I took a break, went to yoga , did some stretches, took few deep breaths and sat again after dinner. I had realised my mistake by now. Second time, I went to same step and took my own time to find. I was able to finish the model.

It's very tricky. But worth a try.

420 char so bees --- that's me

420 number is used for con man. In india is a number used for great insult. In Hindi they say char so bees.

Because of this number I lost my life

Because of this number I lost my mental balance

Because of this number I went to 3 rehabs in USA.

Because of this I took so many medications, their side effects, their withdrawal symptoms was hell.

Because this number my health deteriorated, my husband left, I lost my job. I left USA

My mental health deteriorated. I left my bangalore job not being able to cope up.

Because of this number I have panic attacks even to this day. I cry and cry and cry.

Because of this number I avoid going to parties, I hardly stay at home always.

This number ruined my life completely. I'm left with no family, no job, can't go out daringly because social anxiety.

I still battle everyday. I'm fed up. I have nothing left in my life. I await death.

All those people who have me so much misery, I think they are all doing happily I life. I'm the one who was devastated completely💔

I lost my job, my husband said you please go away. And in India wherever I go they follow and make sure to give 420 to me, my father or my mother. So our whole family is defamed and me, my parents are are all 420 meaning char so bees.

I have no happiness in life. I'm just waiting for my death. I wish I had courage to commit suicide. But I'm darpok.i can't take that big step of killing myself.

Origami navel shell

I used 9 inch kami

It was in my to-do list from a long time. Everytime I would postpone this thinking it's tricky. But if the creases are good, final collapsing is total fun. For the diagonal creases, I used a scale/ruler to join the points and Folded against the ruler. It can easily be folded by folders with some experience. It's a beautifully Designed model and very much fun to fold.

Tutorial by Sara Adams. is very clear and helpful in understanding.

Origami rat by Eric Joisel

Origami rat 🐀 🐀 🐀

I used 9 inch kami. It's a little challenging model. There's a lot of shaping in the end. I skipped it and let the model as is.

I'm grateful for the detailed and crystal clear Tutorial by Mariano Zavala origami.

Origami mother and child

I really pushed myself to do this model. If can be done but there are some tricky folds. I learnt a new technique caked Elias stretch. I thought I'll not get this but it was easier than I had thought. But while shaping the face I stumbled. There were way too many layers of paper to fold. But I could finish it in the end. I'm happy about that.

I used 21 cm duo kami

Origami peacock

I used 1:2 duo paper. I divided 21 cm sheet into half.

Folding steps are simple but I struggled hard for photography. I took at least 30 photos to get a decent shot. Sometimes photography is more difficult than folding process.

Origami grumpy frog

Origami grumpy frog 🐸 🐸 🐸

I took 21 cm duo paper. It was a bit challenging but came out beautifully in the end. I manipulated the paper a bit to make it look nice. In the end to make the model steady, I used Glue.

I don't know why it's called a grumpy frog. It looks so fun and cheerful. It's a wonderful design by Oriol Esteve.

The Tutorial is wonderful, easy to follow.

Origami baker

I used 21 cm duo paper. No cuts and no Glue.

Tutorial by @sarjigami

I folded some model from youtube just now. I spent 40 minutes. It didn't come out well. I got so frustrated that I crumble the paper and threw it away. Not all the time it works for you.

Until next time Sayonara

Origami bee

I took 21 cm duo kami.

Same as Buddhist monk. I tried this few months back and I couldn't fold it. I gave up and removed from my to-do list. Yesterday I gave this a try after several months and could easily fold it. It's a lovey design and looks so cute.

I would term this as intermediate model. Do not suggest for beginners.

Origami Buddhist monk

Tutorial by LKOrigami

I used 21 cm duo kami.

This was a bit challenging for me. I didn't get this at the first attempt. I had tried folding it 4-5 months back and had failed. I gave up and had forgotten. Recently I wanted to try once again, and I could complete it easily. This is an intermediate model, I don't suggest for beginners.
