(Your turn to fold one now!)


John Montroll's origami ladybug design from his book Origami Birds & Bugs.

does anyone else feel this way after folding one of his or Langs's plans?
...And why is it no matter how careful you fold it, it never ends up close to the way it's suppossed to look?

I want to jump out a window after folding langs models. amazing job. Just don't draw on it, because purists hate drawing on models. XD

Yes, I know that feeling.
many a dead/unfinished/ripped Lang models clutter my house.
(I tried the cuckoo clock model once.... )
Luckily, this is a Montroll model.

Montroll models aren't that hard, but lang models are freaking impossible. XD When I was little I thought I was good at origami because I made a flapping bird.

I know. The first origami book I got was a Lang book. Years of frustration there.
(Then I found out his were hard to make.) 200 books later, I'm still on stuck on step 14 of his models.

I have insects and their kin. Some models are hard, but the rest are super complex.

I tried to get a copy of the sequel to that book (but it's only in print in japanese). But yes, one of these days I will figure out how to make the Pillbug model.
I need to get back into origami, but all the books are packed away now.

Yep. She "challenged" me about a week or two back about a comment over her painting.
So, with no ladybugs around, I had to make one....

And now I've answered the dinosaur 'challenge'.
She seems to be inspired. That's good!

Yes. Inspired by yours. For you to enjoy.

I said it might take a while...(I couldn't get to the book right away...)
All origami. 2 hours of folding.

...now I need to make a dinosaur for you...
(5 hours to go?)
