Today is number 2 for me. I’ve been inside my apartment since Wednesday night, and haven’t even stepped foot outside. So, I’ve been keeping myself occupied; watched a good deal of movies yesterday and today. I began picking up some of my hobbies that I let slide over the past few years.
- Beading
- Sewing
- Drawing (that’s a lie!)
- Coloring
- Reading
- Practicing Korean
- AND.. I do Origami.
Now, out of all those, guess which one’s I actually started back up? Origami and reading. haha.
The others.. hmm, I don’t feel like beading, and I haven’t the supplies to sew.. and no coloring books to color! [I tried drawing on Tuesday,.. I stenciled some stars and colored them, teehee.]
ANYWHO… Back to my intentional reason for blogging!
Since I took up origami again, I figured “I have all this free time, I should do something productive!” So, I decided to use up three designs of my paper to make turtles!. now, these turtles are so tiny that you can’t tell what they are unless you’re told, or you guess until you’re right. =^_^=
I would like to show off my origami skills [which are lacking] before I show you the amount of paper I will fold.
This is my origami; the only place I could find so they were out of the way, but still visible: On top of the book shelf. =D
Here is a closer picture of all of it. I’m not sure what the two in the front would be called, they are from the same fold but with different number of paper added. The green and tan is 4 and the yellow and blue is 5. -The vases are filled with 3D octagons and the cup is where the interests is drawn this time around.
TURTLES!
I’ve been wondering how to make turtles for a few months (back when I had no clue about this kind). So a friend of mine and I looked up the different types of turtles to make, and this one we like best. Altogether there are about 120 turtles in the glass and on the shelf around it. I had in mind.. to make 1,000.
Isn’t that how it goes when you fill a jar with origami anyway? =P
So, I’ve decided to fold three designs out of my origami stock. I have a goal of folding all of these into individual teeny tiny turtles by the end of Sunday.
The yellow square on the far left are the size the paper should be when folding the turtles, and the far right is the original size. Although I didn’t count the amount of large squares I had before I started downsizing, I will let you know the total amount when my goal is reached!
Until then! Happy Camping!
