Description This is a present for a friend from university

It is a modular origami swan I made out of nearly 500 triangular modules... yes, I am a crazy and obsessive person. This took about 4 days of compulsively folding, and now I'm completely addicted to origami stuff

You can find a video tutorial here [link] in case you are interested in making one... try not to get addicted like me though

I'd really like to, actually. I've tried some sorts of origami balls and that kinds of stuff, but university and real life always make me give up before I get to finish anything. I had never done origami before (well, except origami ships and frogs you learn to make at school, but I don't think that counts lol) and I found it really fun and relaxing.

I don't remember exactly how long it took me to fold all the little triangles, but it was about 3 days. I had a lot of help from other friends though

thanks!

oh goodness I don't think I could do it. I'm already addicted to knitting I can't afford another addiction haha.
even thought its completely innocent

Freygundr In reply to bloomingorchid [2009-05-15 21:49:20 +0000 UTC]

well, i'm one of those people who get addicted very easily so i'm right now addicted to spinning, dyeing, origami, weaving, everything that includes wool... uhm... ancient greek culture...

so yes, I probably shouldn't start trying new hobbies or i will need 30-hours days or something like that!
