Hi everyone. There is probably nobody left that consulate my website often enough to say that they are still interested in it. I'm posting this to the small amount of person that will see this. I'm telling you that I'm in some kind of a break of origami. I still enjoy paper folding, but not enough to post videos and new paper models. I just remembered yesterday that I had a website. I will post some more stuff in a little while, don't worry! Thanks.

Dinosaur (Dyno)

2012-03-05T12:25:00.001-05:00

Hi! This origami dinosaur is my first design, made with the teaching of Robert Lang by his book: Origami Design Secrets. I'm proud of it, it is simple, easy to do, but it's not the most beautiful in the world ;)
I called it "Dyno". That's the first time I show my real name to the world, because I didn't want that this model is designed by: "TheOrigamiMaster", I wanted that the credits were to me, and not to an unreal person!

Swiss Army Knife

2012-01-29T16:58:00.002-05:00

Hello everybody! Today I'm showing you the Swiss Army Knife, an origami action model. This is an awesome model because it is not that hard to do, and very cool! This is praticly the same as a real swiss knife but this one is made of paper and it's not dangerous. The best is to use metallic paper but I didn't have any so we'll say that this is a ceramic one ; )
By the way, I'm proud to say that the blog has a custom domain! It's now "ori-master.com" ; easier to remind and it is shorter to write! And my new e-mail is: info@ori-master.com , so if you want to contact me for suggestions or even commentaries on my blog, that's the way!

Full-rigged Ship

2011-11-30T17:22:00.001-05:00

Hi all! I made recently the full-rigged ship! I loved making this model because there is a lot of folds but they are not that hard. There was only one step that I had difficulties: where I had to change the color of a reverse fold, I didn't know how to do it because of the diagrams. By the way, this model is quite awesome! It is beautiful! It is like a real ship! Like the Molson one! ; )

For the diagrams, you have to buy the book: "Origami Step by Step" written by Robert Harbin.

Jack O' Lantern

2011-10-19T20:21:00.001-04:00

Hello! This pumpkin is a relatively easy model. You need a paper with the following proportions: 32x22 .
I suggest you to use orange paper, it will be more scary ; ) I did not have problems making it, and at the end I added black to its eyes and mouth with permanent marker.
To be even more cool, you could insert an electric candle. (I'll post a photo of the result soon^^)

The Spinner

2011-10-09T18:12:00.000-04:00

Hello! I finally made the origami spinner! The model itself is not really complicated, but quite long to do. It requires patience and determination. To do it, you will need the Crease Pattern (CP). Since I have not found it on the web, I decided to make another (link below).

Envelope update

2011-09-25T19:47:00.003-04:00

Hi everyone! I made a tutorial for the envelope! I think it's a great one, quite easy to understand and in HD! So you'll need a "letter" sheet (8½ x 11 inches) to make it. Enjoy!
THE ENVELOPE

The $Flower & The Vase

2011-09-25T12:41:00.002-04:00

The $Flower! I love the result of this origami model. I enjoyed making this model because there were some difficulties and I like that. And don't forget that this flower, is made with a square of paper! Oh, shoot this model isn't made with a square, I made it with the proportions 24:13.

Now, the Vase, this model was fun to do, when I was making it, I thought it was a tessellation but, no, it wasn't. So, it was not a difficult one, the result is quite great, and somehow useful.Please note: the brown thing in the vase is wet construction paper.

The Swallow

2011-09-20T16:41:00.004-04:00

Hi! Today I finally finished the Swallow. It was an intermediate one, the folding part itself was not hard, but the understanding of the tutorial and the shaping were challenges. the final result is pretty good, even if mine is not perfect.

The Bottle

2011-09-19T19:30:00.002-04:00

The bottle, a really cool model, an easy one but it needs some skills. I find it really realistic because of its shape.
Please note that it happens that I post models I haven't put in the Coming Soon page. Please forgive me.

The Origami Carambola

2011-09-03T17:12:00.000-04:00

Hi! That's the Carambola, designed by Carmen Sprung. This origami model reminds a star fruit. I love the ressemblance with it and that wasn't really difficult to do. Sadly, for this model we have to use scissors to make a pentagon. But the result is just awesome, I love it!

The Guy Fawkes Mask

2011-09-01T20:31:00.005-04:00

The Guy Fawkes Mask, a really known mask on the internet. Now in origami!

That model isn't really difficult, you can do it without any tool (I took a bone folder for the little triangular parts, other than than, with bare hands!). You have to take a great size of paper if you want it to fit on your face. I took a 25cm x 25cm square and it wasn't enough. Enjoy!

The Neko Bookmark, that's a beautiful, not too hard and very useful model. For those who like cats, for those who enjoy reading, this model is perfect and it is not very complicated! There are just one or two steps that they're a little bit harder. I made a little tutorial, hope you'll understand it!
