Origami Dragon (Matt)

Dragon Star requested I fold an origami dragon. And so I did. And named him Matt.

Dragon Star, I hope you like Matt, because he ate an hour of my life.

Matt's about an inch and a half tall. He's just a baby dragon. You can raise him in the ways of IRU.

P.S. Glad you liked it. Wasn't hard, just had a lot of steps. I didn't like the way the diagram made the head, so I made up my own folds for that. I think my way turned out better.

Now, can you fold a llama in his mouth?

Hmm... I'll see if I can't find a llama diagram (or atleast a camel or horse diagram and modify it) tomorrow... I already put my rice paper upstairs, and I'm too lazy to go get it right now. :)

It wouldn't exactly be to scale, but it would be funny!

Quite frankly, I don't really know.

Well, that's the beauty of photography. We can use something called perspective to trick ourselves into thinking things are different sizes than they actually are. I'll just fold paper-llama from a smaller square, and position it behind Matt's mouth, but far from the camera.

Voila! A perfectly scaled photo!

That dragon is really nifty! :D

I tried my hand at origami at one time. There's one particular shape that is a step in about 3/4 of all the figures. I always had difficulty with that one.

I don't have books like that. All I have are the advanced books. You can find easy folds on the internet. Just google "origami diagrams."

BTW, if you had bothered to show up at the library today, you would have gotten your pegasus.
