Origami

So, this is what I was doing most of the day today instead of cooking Easter food. Oh well, we can't have everything! ;)

These animals were hanging around my desk for well over a month with the sole purpose of becoming models to draw from for my next series. And today I thought it is finally the time to do it! Yesterday I created one of my infamous lists that focused on as many things as I can possibly do this weekend before getting back to work (and I will be working loads now as I got a second dayjob - like one is not enough! Or more like, as if three jobs were not enough! ;)). Below is some of what came out of this drawing madness. Now I only need to decide which pictures to use and what to se them for - I really fancy making some earrings too. It feels like the deciding part might end up being the hardest job of all.

My favourite is actually the Japanese Phoenix one (Hou-ou or along those lines - when I am trying to double check it I get bombarded with the Ho-Oh pokemon :P). It's the red one one the left (two of these actually).

  1. oooh, love these! And yes, the deciding part IS the hardest! I think earrings should definitely be one of the choices. I wanted to make an appliqued picture with an origami crane like that but nothing came of it.
    And what about the pink unicorn tote? ;)
