Get ready for some more origami, folks! Just signed up again for the 30 Days Project. This round of the project lasts the entirety of June, and if you haven’t read up on it I really do encourage you to check it out. It’s a 30 day promise to create one thing per day, with…

Thirty Days of Origami – Day #12 (Origami Candy Dish)
I’ll make this short, since it’s after midnight and way past time for me to go to bed. Today I tried to make a stupid origami rabbit, only to screw up the same easy reverse fold on multiple attempts. Finally, in a fit of pique, I gave up and looked up another diagram. So…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #11 (Origami Tricorne)
Apparently this is called ‘tricorne’ after the hat of the same name – though the end result has little in common with the hat. Instead, it’s a 12-sided shape that is very easy to fold and fairly irritating to put together. Once it goes together, though, there’s the magic. This project marks the first…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #9 (Origami Cat)
Oooooh, I’m so happy with today’s project I could just coo and twitter and crow with pride until I annoy the shit out of everyone around me…and I think I will. Excuse me for a moment while I push my coworkers to the edge with my self-congratulatory behavior. OK, I’m back! Isn’t she just the cutest…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #8 (Origami Canoe, or “Put A Bird In It”)
Sorry for the late upload, but I was a little preoccupied yesterday, what with it being my birthday and all. I had intended to create a masterpiece of kittenish origami goodness, but instead ended up being crunched for time. So instead of an origami cat, I give you a pretty lame origami canoe (it would…
Casting My Vote & Thirty Days of Origami – Day #6 (Origami Docking Box)
Having finally received my new book Joyful Origami Boxes yesterday, I brought it along with me this morning to the voting station. I figured it would be good to have just in case I had to wait in long for a long time and felt like doing a spot of origami. As it turned out, since I…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #5 (Origami Blossoms)
I’m honestly a little ashamed of today’s entry into the Thirty Days Project. These origami blossoms were easy to make, taking about five minutes in all, but they’re also pretty boring. I started off trying to make a crane early this morning, since I’d read that they’re very simple (more of a kid’s project). After…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #4 (Origami Vase)
Today’s project was fun and pretty simple, despite having to cobble together instructions to get a more concise idea of just what I was supposed to do. For this easy vase, I first found FishGoth’s page and very detailed drawings here. Then I realized that that diagram actually started out from a place where you’d…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #3 (Origami Water Bomb)
I’m so over origami today, so this is going to be a quick entry. Today’s installation for the Thirty Days Project was an origami water bomb (also known as a water balloon). They’re pretty easy to fold, and the trick is that you’re supposed to be able to fold them, then blow one quick breath…
Thirty Days of Origami – Day #2 (Origami Owl)
Hmmm. This one wasn’t hard, exactly – just confusing. That’s probably because I started out reading the instructions here, then supplemented in difficult parts with a video on making an origami owl. Both sources were great, but overall the video was a little more helpful for a newbie like me, and had I continued watching…
