November Origami Forum Challege - Masks
It is a little quite this month with folders still participating in the International Origami Internet Olympiad, which really, really nails down your skill level when it comes to folding.
I will definitely participate next year and try to bring my own creative skills to bear rather than just trying to fold the model as presented, but sadly it will still be many years before I am bringing home medals for Australia.
This month for the challenge I have submitted two designs.
The first a little animal mask/finger puppet
The second a samurai like hat
This last one came as a surprise as I was actually aiming for an angel.
Designing an angel is surprisingly hard, I now have the dubious honour of having designed a bug angel, an assassin's creed angel, a face hugger angel and a busty angel all of which are precisely not what I wanted.

You have more fine motor control and patience now, than when you were a kid. You might surprise yourself.

Thank you.
Quite talent you have. The smaller it is the harder it is and to get all those little folds... You won't see me doing it lol.
Everyone has their own talents, do what brings you joy.
My kids do this. I find I don't have the patience, even though I love the outcome and wonder how anyone ever came up the ideas.

I don't know if I have a proper answer for you. For so many years folding was only following the instructions sometimes with success and sometimes without. It was fun, but it wasn't a passion. The only model I experimented with was the origami brocade and I didn't change the unit only the construction. You can make a weirdly flat pincushion like model if you add enough units and you can fuse two spheres together. Then something changed and every night for about a month I started with the fortune teller and tried to make something new more often than not succeeding. I now know how to make two Christmas decorations, connecting boats, spinning tops, windmills, a collapsible cube, triangular gift box with and without handles, a snap into shape sphere a few weird looking solids and a five and eight sided fortune teller it was eye-opening and I haven't looked back.
