Origami Convention in New York in 2013
Origami Convent is the opportunity for people to meet and discuss their origami technique.
Apart from all that- It’s really fun:)
All the arrivals ready to get started.
Probably the best part of participating a Convent is the opportunity to make friends and help ahere your knowledge with one another.

Something harder
Well after my adventures with cranes and frogs I decided to go for a cat. But not one of those easy ones- nononononooo. Typically for me I searched for something more effective.
I found this cat on one of the DeviontArt blogs:

And as the author got this from a book I found it and in two hours’ time (I almost gave up in the end) I got something that looks more like… Well let’s say it looks like a cat but it is definitely not good enough to be shown here. Anyways here you have the instructions and the link to this book:

Origami frog
Yesterday I spent some time to try out new origami tutorials and I went for a frog. You can do it in many ways but I wanted to do the two basic ones.
Like this one:

After Origami base I: flapping Crane
The first Origami I did was a crane. I choose it simply because it’s the most popular and probably easier one.
You start with Preliminary fold base and fold it into Bird base, both of which you can find in post here: https://doitysftutorials.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/folding-origami-base/ The best movie tutorial with the instructions how to fold the base here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpwnHpXUuow I’m not really into YouTube tutorials because I prefer music while I’m working and I don’t know why it’s just easier for me to come back where I got lost when I do it with pictures:) If you got the same, here is the best tutorial picture I found for the crane. (Sorry for the language but the notes aren’t really needed if you look at the picture)
