Day Two – Origami Butterflies

My project today was to make an origami butterfly. The instructions were from this book, "Origami: An Artist's Guide to Performances In Paper" by Michael G. LaFosse.

The paper I used is some interesting translucent Chirigami paper I bought at Daiso Japan. I love this store! It's a Japanese $1.50 store with an interesting selection of craft supplies. I ended up making two as usually I'm still figuring out the folds with the first. The only thing I really had difficulty with was the head as the paper ripped. It probably wasn't the most suitable for the project but I like the way they came out.
