Description:
If you have ever heard origami described as something like “sculpture from paper,” this design is truly an example of that. Eric Joisel’s Seahorse is a work of origami with a simple base and extraordinary shaping. The base can be formed in minutes, but completing the final form can take an hour or more. The result will be as much a test of your ability to sculpt, as it is of your ability to follow instructions.
Supplies:
A square 10-14" (25-30 cm) tissue foil or foil backed paper.
A tool with a short, flat, thin edge, possibly a cut up, cancelled credit card or a spent gift card. Richard uses the flat bladed end of his Chartpak adjustable burnisher. A flat paint scraper and one or two small clothespins or clamps could also be useful.
