Welcome to my blog!

This blog is all about my views of origami. There's not much more to say about that. All models on this blog are my own designs unless I say otherwise.
Be sure to visit my gallery of pretty much everything I fold at http://www.flickr.com/photos/origamicupcake/

A list of my designs can be found below. Click on the design to see it.

What are Yip Yips?

Seeing as this months challenge on the english origami forum is Movies, I've decided on folding a certain animal from a children's movie, and I'm not going to say what just yet. I decided to start off small, so I tried making the cartoon eyes that I want for the model, and then decided to test them out on something else. My decision came when I noticed this picture of Yip Yips from the children's show Sesame Street while looking through origami cat models. Although the eyes are a bit big, I'm still happy with the result. Here is my CP.

The top 1/16th and the four 1/16ths on either side are all used to make the eyes. Only a little shaping has to be put into the body and the eyes, and the mouth can be made from a simple pleat.
