Origami Abundance Hen (Leyla Torres) and Origami Chick (Simon Anderson)

A very Happy Easter everyone!!!

 

"Mother Hen is teaching her little ones how to hide the chocolade eggs, so that the 'humans' can look for them."

This searching for eggs during Easter is a worldwide tradition in many cultures.

 

The origami hen is called "Abundance Hen" and is a design by Leyla Torres. The origami chicken is a model from Simon Anderson. They match wonderful together, although the folding proces is different.

Both can be used as boxes too, as you can see here. The hen has special feathers. Each feather is a written fortune message, the "Ten-Second Party Fortune". Also an idea by Leyla.

The chickens carry an egg and I added the party fortune idea as a little tail.

 

"Abundance Hen" is folded from 21x21 cm, duo-colored paper.

The chickens from a square from 5, 7,5, 8, 8,5 cm with German tekst on it, saying 'Frohe Ostern' ;-))

 

For each model Leyla Torres has made a tutorial on

her website.
