Man, that's amazing!
It looks so round and comfy with that cute, snuggly face!
I can't believe you really designed that on your own.
I never heard of 'wet folding', but all of your origami pieces that where made that way seem very impressive and I will
definitely look that up!
Thanks for posting this

You do not have the diagram anymore on etsy   I would really like to try to fold the model. I like a lot the shape of this bird.
Can you help me with the diagram please?

Pardon the language but this Jay seems to be saying "Fuck you, I knew winter was coming all along." Hence his body size. 


There's your story. Thats why it looks like it does.


I like the design though!

The body shape makes me wonder how you'd handle a quail, especially with the little feather on the forehead. I like the folding technique that gets you soft edges rather than crisp, as it fits the fatness of a winter bird all puffed up. In general, though, I picture blue jays as a more slender, pointy bird. (Not to mention mean, but that's a difficult feature to fold!)

It seems you understand everything in my mind .
I also thought about a quail and did it, but no so successful, maybe I'll try it again. Currently I prefer doing the Northern cardinal, which was my first idea. This blue jay was the result when the way colors changed not really like a cardinal.
Looking back to the model after reading your comment, I still need to improve it indeed.

And reading your comments is always a pleasure, thank you very much!
