Penguin in a Snow Storm

My origami calendar

Ever since I saw mobii’s Origami Penguin Tee shirt, I’ve wanted to give it a go myself. The problem was I was too busy at the time, and I could not think of a creative scenario for it.

I finally thought of one, and started folding from a 7×7mm piece of paper using tweezers, but by the time I was finished, I realized it was too tiny to create the scenario I wanted :P. I’m going to do bigger one later. I’ve decided to show this one anyways because I think it’s cute. It’s just taken in my hand hand; nothing new, but in black and white the lines in my hand looks like a snowstorm

Taken with an Olympus FE-340.

For a better idea of scale:

    Amazing Mui-Ling. I agree, the little waves on your hand look like snow or sand. Can you make a camel? Thanks very much for the mention. :)

  • Mui-Ling Teh replied

    Thanks mobii! I’d have to see if I can look up instructions for a camel online; or do you have any?

    Mui-Ling, I have the instructions for a camel. I will put them on a tee and get it on RB this weekend. :)

  • Mui-Ling Teh replied

    Great! I would have to think of a good scenario for that one. As you may be aware though, working and site seeing in another country keeps me very occupied so I’m not sure when I would get to folding that. You can take your time with the tee design.
