After Sweeney's workshop, I decided to look at Origami, the art of paper folding, because like what Sweeney was teaching us, it's all about using one sheet of paper and manipulating it.
I used this website: http://www.origami-fun.com/ to start creating simple structures as I had never really done origami before. The instructions were really helpful, and it was a lot of fun! I actually spent a good couple of hours making animals and flowers mostly.
These were my attempts:
 |
| Jumping Frog |
 |
| Pelican |
 |
| Gift Bow |
 |
| Heart |
 |
| Butterfly |
 |
| Lily |
 |
| Flower |
 |
| Tulip |
 |
| Lotus |
I managed to do a lot of the structures on the website, the instructions were simple and easy to follow which helped a lot, also with trickier bits there was a video tutorial on some! Which helped even more to actually see how its meant to be done. However I tried to do the rose, but I found this one IMPOSSIBLE! (http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-rose.html)
It may have been because the paper I was using was too thick? But I'm no origami expert...
I enjoyed making these structures, they also inspired me for the project as a whole and made me realise just how much you can achieve with a simple sheet of paper.
