Origami

***VamPyroX*** · 12-28-2007, 10:21 PM

Any of you ever do origami?

I rarely do origami, but when I do... it's usually something big and complex.

I also do money origami too.

***VamPyroX*** · 12-28-2007, 10:25 PM

I made this recently.

I can do the bird the one when you pull the tail the wings flap. My daughter made Christmas ornaments out of 12, 3x3 pieces of wrapping paper on each one.

Yours is pretty cool VamPyroX

Thank you. The one I did uses 30 sheets of 3x1 paper.

I actually cut up several sheets of notebook paper for this project.

The look on my 10 year old daughters face when I told her how many pieces of paper you used. she wants to know how long did it take you to make it

I love to do origami! My mom and I used to do it so much when we were in Okinawa. Sometimes I make birds, stars, frogs, and many others!

Well, if I sat down and just focused on it... probably under a hour.

I started on it the day before and did a few sheets of paper since I was already busy with the holidays with my family. The next day, I was watching a DVD on my desk while working on it. Altogether, it took me a few hours... because of watching DVDs and spending time with my family.

I used to make them as a kid for fun. I dont know why I stopped. However, I did an origami project with my class last year when we were studying the Japanese culture. It was fun!

Roadrunner · 12-31-2007, 02:19 AM

That's pretty cool and impressive. The only kind of origami I can make is an airplane, it flies too and....oh? That don't count??

Anyhow, that's really neat and what other items have you done?

Here are a few more I did with dollar bills.

- shirt
- bowties
- star (with coin in middle)
- box
- pyramid
- triangle

***~SG~*** · 01-01-2008, 04:36 AM

That is pretty cool. A origami for a airplane does count RR LOL.

I haven't done any Origami for years... I used to make frog, swan and bird.

Do you glue the $1 bills?? If not, how to keep them together in a cube? Wow.

No gluing was required. I simply folded and inserted everything in the tabs. Simple.

I guess that these are not simple and you have a lot of skill, VamPyroX

***Jolie77*** · 01-03-2008, 08:59 PM

These are interesting. It seems as if you got some 'eye' for art and perhaps, some hand to eye coordination works that helps you pass the time.

As for the origamis, I used to do it when I was a kid. It was fun and now, I'm out of practice because I haven't done it for so long.

Again, It's impressive.

Thanks.

I'm currently working on a Menger's Sponge... Level 1. I'm doing it using $1 bills. I could do Level 2, but that would be too much money. If I did manage to do Level 2, I doubt I could do Level 3 since the weight might be too much for the $1 bills.

The cost of making a Menger's Sponge at Level 1 = $192... at Level 2 = $3,456... at Level 3 = $66,048... at Level 4 = $1,296,384.

The weight of a Menger's Sponge made out of $1 bills at Level 1 = almost .5 lbs... at Level 2 = a bit over 7.5 lbs... at Level 3 = 145 lbs... at Level 4 = 2,858lbs (almost 1.5 tons).

I doubt that the Menger's Sponge at Level three will be able to support itself using $1 bills.

Kangaroo · 01-04-2008, 02:52 AM

I agree with Jolie, you certainly do have an eye for art Vamproyz! I havent ever seen any stuff like this before. I struggle making those 'fortune tellers' for kids, those ones that look like frilled neck dragon lizard heads.

Maybe there is an outlet to make money from doing stuff like this? And, err, whats a Menger's Sponge??
