Hanging up the Mask

Comedy never looked so grim. On a related note, properly shaping this model is a nightmare, probably because I'm bad at masks.

Origami comedy mask. Crease pattern of origami comedy mask.

Ship in a Bottle - 18 Grid

I suppose it's technically only half a bottle, but if I made the whole bottle, then you wouldn't be able to see the ship.

Origami ship in a bottle. Crease pattern of origami ship in a bottle.

Sky's the Limit - 18 Grid

In the same vein as Sinking Feeling, this is meta origami with a non-standard model. I wanted this model to focus on youthful imagination, as I know I would have loved this as a kid. Also, yes, it does fly.

Origami plane and pilot. Crease pattern of origami plane and pilot.

Sinking Feeling - 18 Grid

Meta origami models are so fun, but they typically focus on cranes or blank pieces of paper. There are very few models that incorporate the traditional boat, so I designed a model that had two. The title is a double entendre for the sink fold.

Stargazing - 16 Grid

Alternate title: the universe observing itself. Origami seems like a fitting medium for this idea, since both the observer (telescope) and the universe (night sky) are folded from the same sheet of paper. Designing a piece that is its own background was an interesting challenge.

Whitetail Fawn - 22.5°

Designed as a celebration of the past summer, I took a slight departure from my previous subjects and paradigms. The result is this simple baby deer.

Origami whitetail fawn. Crease pattern of origami whitetail fawn.

Fish out of Water - 14 Grid (Partial 28ths)

A bit of an absurdist take on the phrase, I wanted to use my humanoid design skills to make the fish vaguely anthropomorphic. The partial 28ths can be treated as open sinks during the folding sequence, though I still recommend precreasing them. The umbrella uses a similar structure to the one in "Walking in the Rain" by Chen Xiao.

Hanging by a Thread - 20 Grid

Won the July 2024 Origami-Dan design contest. To some degree, I was inspired by Banksy's "Girl with Balloon", which informed my color choice in the final fold.
