Origami Pegasus - Fumiaki Kawahata


It's definitely been a long time since I've folded anything. I remember it was about 2009 when I stopped folding origami and completely focused on other mindless things, like video gaming...

Anyway, one day my new friend Tony came over and I showed him some origami models which he was curious to look at. Well, showing them to him ignited the "itch" to fold in me. So without hesitation, I pulled out my old collection of papers and found that I only have 1 square piece of tissue-foil big enough to fold a complex model. The reason I always choose to fold complex models is because it not only gives me a challenge but also hurls me into a folding frenzy for hours. I love it! I did. And I still do.

So, what came out that day was this Pegasus designed by Fumiaki Kawahata. I knew right then I had fell in love with origami again. To thank my friend for igniting my passion, I gave this model to him. I think he likes it.


Summary:
  • Designer: Fumiaki Kawahata
  • Diagram: Origami Tanteidan Magazine No. 74
  • Time: ~4 hours
  • Effort: this should be my 2nd time yet it was relatively complex
  • Technique: Dry-fold
