The bird base is essential for the most origami dragon models out there, since it is the most common starting pattern. It is important to know how to fold this base by heart, without any instructions, because much instructions on how to origami generally start with “begin with bird base”. This is exactly why I’ve made this little tutorial. When folded, it looks like this: Bird Base So, let’s begin. Or, as they say in Japan, hajimemashou ne. To begin all we need is a square sheet of paper of any size you want. If you don’t happen to have origami paper, it is ... Read Full Story

This is a first post in a series of posts, which would describe the basics of origami.

This one is called a Bird Base, and it is the most common pattern I can think of. Most of the origami instructions begin with the words "start from a bird base" or something like that.

The second diagonal fold. Pull and fold the left and right corners towards the center to form a kite. Unfold the kite... ...and rotate it 180 ... Read Full Story

In earlier origami dragon diagram post I released the first version of my first diagram. I created it using Inkscape and Photoshop, though I’m absolutely sure I could do it with Gimp instead of Photoshop, just to emphasize the option of using open source software to create diagrams. My goal was to make a tiny diagram of origami dragon which fits in an image of width and height of only 512 pixels. Of course, I picked a very simple dragon for that purpose. The first version was very far from perfection - it had unnecessary snapshots due to the fact I was using photos ... Read Full Story
