The Antecedent
May Bug
My most recent design! This Cockchafer a.k.a. May Bug was folded from a 60*60 cm square of Thai unryu tissue paper.
I have been working on this design for a long time, and it is definitely my most complex model. I found the folding process of this to be very tiresome and strenuous. The appendages get thinned to a 64 grid and the body is expanded. I'm glad with the final product, and it was worth the hours of effort. The layers really piled up thick due to thinning the 32 grid. The 24 grid is more conducive to my style and process of insect design, and I think that I will work from that grid in the future. I'm going to take a break from designing insects and using box pleating, it's time to push my efforts further into new design techniques!
Whoever sees this, let me know what you think!
