origami wearable papillon (design request)

Last December I was requested to design an origami papillon, to be produced and sold as a limited edition collection. In the end we did not find an agreement, as often people don't want to understand that if they want to use some design for making a business, they ought to pay the designer for it. They would like to have slaves folding everything on their request...

Nevermind. In any case, I had a prototype in mind, and later I developed it, even without any reason for doing it. Often, when I feed my mind with some idea on designing, it keeps thinking on it while I'm doing other stuff, sleeping, etc, and sometimes I find some solutions ready to be folded, without spending time actively thinking on them.

All 3 designs are wereable, they have a "hole" on the back for passing a string through (without cuts, using some sort of lock).

Each of them is folded from a 15cm square of Tant paper, and turns out in a wereable size, too. Or at least I soppose; I don't know if I would ever wear one in life, but if I will, I would like one of these..

Actually I prefer the simpler designs, as the pleated one misses the soft round "knot".

Therefore, if you would like to use this design for business, don't hesitate to contact me...
