Description I folded this couple of seashells and the hermit crab as part of an art-trade with She has liked them
These models were invented by Robert Lang, and published in the book "Origami Sea Life". Possibly the best origami book about sea animals out there.
The hermit crab was folded using a 9" square of foilback paper more tissue paper. The seashells were folded with the same type of paper, using squares of 6 and 4 inches. I varnished all the models.
I hope you like them. Btw, the small seashell is a real seashell.
Author of the models: Robert Lang.
Folded by: Me.
Diagrams: Yes, in the book "Origami Sea Life" by John Montroll and Robert J. Lang, Dover ed. 1990.

Estos modelos fueron inventados por Robert Lang y publicados en el libro "Origami Sea Life". Posiblemente el mejor libro existente de papiroflexia sobre animales marinos.
El cangrejo está plegado con papel metalizad más seda, usando un cuadrado de 22 cm. Las conchas fueron plegadas con el mismo tipo de papel, usando cuadrados de 15 y 10 cm. Barnicé los modelos.
Espero que les guste. Por cierto, la caracola pequeñita es de verdad, no de papel.
Autor del modelo: Robert Lang.
Plegado por: Yo.
Diagramas o desarrollos: Sí, en el libro "Origami Sea Life" de John Montroll y Robert J. Lang, ed Dover 1990.

Hi Jag. There are not many models of hermit crabs in origami.
Seashells are more popular. You can see other seashell here in my gallery: [link]

I know, It's just that I love how you take pictures at different places, not like on a table or something.

I did not choose that picture of the crab alone to send it as a submission because I wanted to show the other shells too.

Pretty! ^^ Now if only one could *really* find such seashells at the beach...

I like the vibrant orange of the hermit crab, it really stands out... ^__^

Origami is more real than life itself.

Thankies for liking this orange. The Kei knows that the doc has troubles deciding what color to chose
