Description
Praying Mantis made from only one dollar. I added a quarter so that you can see just how small it is when it is finished.Thanks for looking
All my works are my own designs.
They all use dollar bills with no cut, no glue, and no tape.

wow, looks so complex... like all your works
how do you work out the designs? do you experiment a lot, or do you use one of those fancy computer programs that make up complicated origami designs?

I don't use a computer. I do it the old fashion way. I think of what I want to make and try to visualize the steps in my head. Sometimes it comes to me fairly fast. but most of the time it takes weeks and lots of test folding until I get it right.

I don't understand how that's possible with just one dollar bill. I would be fascinated to see something you've done presented in a step by step fashion.

There's a model I couldn't replicate if I tried.
how do you come up with these? furthermore, how do you make so many folds spaced so close together?

...what can i say that hasn't been said??...

Ah, you must be only a foot tall to fold something this precisely that's so tiny. I'm convinced it's near impossible with normal sized hands.
Astounding work. May I ask: how long does it take on average to do a single dollar origami animal? Or are the two dollar animals faster to do?

My head can't grasp this... at all...
how would you begin to fold this... do you try out actual paper before going into the bills themselves?
