Posting Older Origami Creations :]

Hello Guys & Gals!

   Before I begin posting photos of the new things I've created, I wanted to post some of the older ones.  Everyone will get to see how I have progressed over the years with my hobbies and will also give me an idea of where to go in the future.  I think it is great to just show people around the world and on the internet the things I make and how I express myself through them.

My Short Story:

It was all thanks to a friend I made who introduced me to origami in the 1st grade (age 6).  I started origami by making paper airplanes and doing contests with my friends and once even with the entire class.  He taught me many  other simple origami crafts.  He soon moved away after we started to get close.  On my own time I went to the neighborhood library and they had origami tutorial books and I would only make the more intricate and difficult ones that needed many pieces.  I collected around 30 books from basic to very advanced origami.  Since early highschool I have not touched on my origami hobby and moved on to other things such as guitar and crocheting.  I hope to start posting more on my blog and I guess I should end this wall of text.

Below I have a few images I picked out, but many of the things I make I give away or have the intention of giving to someone as a gift so I never took photos.  I rarely tend to make things for myself or have the motivation to.  I just love to cheer someone up with something I made with my own hands.

This is a 5-Intersecting Tetrahedral, I will start posting more on geometric origami in the future.

 Here is an example of 3-D origami I got into later on in middle school.  Mini Pikachu next to a penny for comparison.

 This is a 1,660 piece 3-D origami flat tiger frame.  Instead of using 3-D origami pieces to stack in a cylindrical fashion, I stacked them next to each other to create a flat almost pixel-like image.  This was also my Mother's Valentine's day gift with the red and white :) very proud of this one.

This is the original 3d Origami Pikachu I made with piano keys for scale.   I have a large scale (this one below) and a mini penny sized pikachu and a medium sized which was encased in acrylic clear resin that I gave away to a girl...(which I regret now hah)
