Giraffe
Originally Designed: 2013
Revised: 2014, 2015
Diagrammed in: Origami Nature Study
Without even realizing it, most of the animals I’ve designed are extremely common in origami already. When this is the case we need to go all out making our designs unique. I am under the impression that the majority of origami giraffes have legs which are too short with necks, if anything, too long. With this in mind my aim while creating this model was to give it sufficiently long legs above all else . . . the craziest thing? They’re still a bit on the short side even after three (albeit minor) revisions!
