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.

Yet Another Frog

Once again, I've folded a frog. Although the name of the model is Frog 2, I have also designed a pureland frog. After trying Peterpaul Forcher's Fox (Link to PDF diagram), I've wanted to try the head again elsewhere. I was originally thinking that it would end up as a dragon or something along those lines, but instead I ended up with a from after I squashed the ears and ended up with froggy eyes. I had seen eyes a lot like this before, on Tanaka Masashi's frog. However, his model turned out a lot better and the eyes came from a different part of the paper. Here is the CP that I used:

The body ends up a bit long after folding the CP, but it can be shortened up with some crimps. Some detail needs to go into the legs to make them frog-like, and the head needs to be made 3D in the same way as the fox.

Very nice, Cupcake :-)
With a bit of modification of this CP you should be able to create a Frog Prince with a colour changed crown coming from the corner.

Soo cute, I wish there would be diagrams as well and not only a CP (I tried to fold it after CP but failed miserably).

Thanks Guys.
Sadly, this is the kind of model that can't easily be diagrammed, because its boxpleating. I would diagram it if I could :)
