When I tell people that I fold origami and show them what I fold (and usually it's something geometric or modular) they often reference having tried origami at some point earlier in their lives and usually they had tried the classic crane. Admittedly that was one of the first things that I learned, though it's a model that doesn't interest me a great deal (since it seems to be so common). Most of the time I prefer to fold something geometric, but there are a few animal models that I enjoy folding. There seems to be a very large variety of origami bird models. Here are a few of my favorites:
This model is titled 'Congratulations Crane'. I found it in Steve and Megumi Biddle's Essential Origami book. The model's author is unknown so it's considered a traditional model. |
A collection of the Congratulations Cranes that I've folded recently. |
I love this particular model folded from this brown and yellow corner radiation origami paper; by folding it this way I think it looks like a turkey :) |
Here is the links to the books that I referenced :
Essential Origami by Steve and Megumi
North American Animals in Origami by John Montroll
Both goods books. Essential Origami is more for beginners and takes it very step-by-step in the instructions, whereas North American Animals in Origami goes with the assumption that you already know how to read origami diagrams and much more difficult as a whole (although it does have a page at the front of the book describing all of the symbols as almost all origami books do).
Try some of these out. Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions; I'm considering doing a tutorial post one of these days (any input on what to do is welcomed :) Enjoy!
