This one was a nightmare to photograph so it better get a tonne of likes. Yeah so I have a bit of tradition of showing off assorted new models I learned over the year. And I guess I shouldn’t break tradition just yet. Bat designed by Yoshimasa Tsuruta, folded by @the.papershaper #bat #night #nocturnal #purple #black #origami #papercraft #hobbies
Miraculous! I dunno if that reference is relevant any more, I stopped watching that show many seasons ago. Today I folded a ladybug/ladybird (pick one according to which region you are in). This one was especially hard to photograph since it didn’t look good on the two backgrounds that I own. But with some improvisation, another sheet of origami paper can become a decent background.

Happy Halloween Everyone! This year was pretty spooky without Halloween, but hey, here’s hoping all the spookiness gets used up tonight and the rest of the year is decidedly unspooky, whatever is left of my hair will be thankful. ‘Witch Hat Jack O’Lantern V1’ designed by @mxfung, folded by @the.papershaper #halloween #trickortreat #spooky #spoopy #pumpkin #jackolantern #witchhat #origami #papercraft #hobbies 
Revisiting some older models with better paper. Yes this one here is a classic, I still remember seeing it on Yahoo geocities way back in 2010. Man I wonder what my 2010 self would say if he saw I was able to fold this model and afford fancy paper. Knowing him, he probably would say something dumb.

Meet my new desk partner! So after playing a few intense sessions of Splatoon, I realised that I don’t have a squid amongst my menagerie of paper beasts. Well consider that gap filled. Was this a genuine art post or product placement for Splatoon? I mean I wish I was influential enough for Nintendo to notice me. Big thanks to @syn_origami for designing this squid.

Tonight there was not a lot of sleep being done (even less than usual) so I guess it is rather fitting that I am now accompanied by a Piria’s owl. I had the pleasure of learning this Piria’s owl during Origami World Marathon 2022 from Roman Diaz himself. You can see some of the other models I learned over the weekend over the next few days. ‘Piria’s Owl’ designed by @rodiya53, folded by @the.papershaper ...
Yeah I realized for someone from New Zealand I actually haven’t folded that many sheep. Guess I’m turning that around now. Sheep designed by @origamist_y_t_y, folded by @the.papershaper #sheep #wool #baa #ram #lamb #hobbies #origami #papercraft
Scroll to the end for a surprise announcement I haven’t spent the last few weeks talking about! Yeah well it’s over, no more law school for me, slow and steady wins the race. I’ll probably have a more emotional and moving speech sooner or later but for now I’m pretty amazed I made it considering I only decided to go to law school after having three pints of coke at the pub way back in 2018. Life has many doors, and sometimes they are opened with the strangest keys I guess. ...
Having spent the last few days doing a lot of sitting, I’m starting to understand why Pandas love sitting so much. Not sure about only eating bamboo for the rest if my life though. Panda designed by @origamiplans , folded by @the.papershaper #panda #paper #papercraft #hobbies #origami #sitting ...
What do fish debate about? That’s going to keep me awake tonight. So it has been a while since I last posted, well I am now free from most responsibilities in life so until I discover new responsibilities, guess you will all be seeing a lot more of me… yay.
