Origami Grasshopper (Kim Jin Woo)
Look who's sitting on my desk :-))
A few times a year I have a small mini origami convention, where everyone chooses a challenging origami model to fold on. This was one of them.
The difficulty of folding this model (mostly with insects models) lies mainly in finding the right paper, since so many layers come together in the end result.
I have now used thin brown tracing paper, but that is too weak. So I treated this grasshopper with wallpaper-paste after the folding was done, so that it got more consistency and I could also shape better.
Pape:r a sheet of 45x45cm brown tracing paper.
Final size: length 22cm, height about 5cm
Model: origami Grasshopper
Design: Kim Jin Woo
