Memes

You know how my blog is about reviewing origami models?  Well I'm thinking about reviewing internet memes too!  Don't know what the heck an internet meme is?  Bacically, it is something that quickly spreads widely over the internet over a group of people (usually millions of people).  Types ofe memes can range from viral videos to  pictures to phrases to songs, etcetera.  Examples of memes?  Nyan Cat, the song "Friday"(Rebecca Black), and peanut butter jelly time song/banana dude.  And those are just a few!  So my question is should I also review memes along with origami models tell me in the comments what you think!

Origami Wobbling Wall of 9 Cubes Review

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while.  I have my own Youtube account now, so I will make tutorials on that and not on my blog.  I'll just stick to reviews for my blog(my username is Oridom66).  Anyway, yesterday was my birthday, and I got a lot of stuff, like a new camera and lots of origami paper.  I got some long, narrow strips of paper for making paper stars, but I used some to make an origami wobbling wall of nine cubes, which was designed by Heinz Strobl.  When you grab the two cubes on its side you can move them and make all nine cubes "wobble".  Basically, you make nine cubes(each out of three small strips of paper), and then connect them using longer strips in paper.  It doesn't really matter the color paper you use, or the size.  I wanted for mine to turn out smaller, so I used narrower paper.  It takes a while to make, so I don't recomend making it unless you have some patience.  Other than that, I give it *****(you should know by now that I mean 5 stars).  Bye!

Origami Buisness

Hey everyone! I'm sorry about this, but my tutorials won't be out until my next post or later.  Anyway, me and some of my friend started an origami business.  So basically,  we make  awesome origami models like magic balls, flashers, and 3D origami(I'll post about 3D origami soon).  3D origami is like, the ultimate origami, but we won't go into that too much for now.  We already have, like, 20 orders for origami magic balls, so it looks like I'm gonna be pretty busy.  Um... I may post my friend Facebook page for you guys to see more about our business.  I also may get a new favicon!  I know you guys don't care.  Bye for now!

Origami Magic Ball Rating

Hi!  I know this is pretty pointless, but I give the origami magic ball project *****(5 stars).  I forgot to include that in my other post.  Well, I think I may do origami tutorials once in a while, but I'll still do origami reviews.  Bye to you.

Opinion

Hey!  It's me.  I was wondering your guys opinion of my blog.  Just wanted to now if you like it.  And also tell me if I should change from reviewing origami projects to giving origami tutorials.  Tell me in the comments.  Well... thats all for now!

Earthquake

Hi everyone!  I haven't posted in a while.  I also realize that the title fore this post is irrelevant to my blog, but I thought this was pretty important.  So, two days ago, me, my mom, my siblings, my cousin, my aunt, and my grandmother all went out to eat.  We thought about going to this old- ish resturant called the "Armadillo" but decided not to.  So we went to this other place.   We had just ordered our food (keep in mind, we were at an old building) then the lights started swinging.  At first I thought  a big truck or something was zooming by and the wind from it shook the building, but the lights were flickering, which was wierd.  Then it hit me: this was is an earthquake.  The walls, the floorboards, the game and knick-knacks on the shelves, the chairs and tables, everything was shaking. It did that for a few seconds, then it settled down.  We ran outside because my aunt thought the building might colapse.  She's been in an earthquake before so apparently she knew what she was talking about.  We thought the earthquake only occoured where we were,  but my brother got a text  from his friend who was about 34 miles away sayng "Did you feel that?"  and same with my sister, so it didn't just happen where we were.  I was pretty freaked out at that point.  A couple  of buildings were cracked, and one if them was the "Armadillo".  Freaky, huh?  We tried calling and texting, and we had full reception, but it didn't work.  It was because everyone was trying to call and text people.  We wen back to the resturaunt, but ate outside so we could run if there was an after-shock.  While we were  eating, my aunt googled the earthquake, and it turns out, it struck the ENTIRE east coast and the epicenter was all the way in Virginia.  And this was only halve as strong as the one in Haiti.  That earthquake was on unforgetable moment.

Origami Terrier Review

Hey Guys!  The reason I haven't been posting is a while is because Iv'e been trying out different origami models.  Anyways, I found a tutorial on making an origami terrier, which is a breed of dog.
Above is the video by jonakashima on "Youtube" if you want to make this model.  Here is a link to his channel:http://www.youtube.com/user/jonakashima?blend=1&ob=5.  He makes all sorts of video tutorials on origami projects but never explains the steps.  But since the steps are usually straight foward,  they don't really need explaining.  Back to the terrier.  This project is really simple and fun to make.  I think it is fun because you get to sculpt  and round out parts of the model.  I would recommend  using either black, grey, or brownish colored paper because those are the colors of terrier dogs.  Another interesting thing about this model is that since terriers have shaggy fur that usually drops down near their paws, this project has that to(above).  Over all, I would give this project 5*'s.  Remember to comment and follow!  I also now have two fish on my blog named Yin and Yang for you guys to play with and feed.  Also tell me about different origami projects and I might review them.  Bye!

Origami Flasher Review

Hi guys!  Sorry that I havn't posted in a while or posted the pictures.  I've been really lazy.  Anyway, I found this video on "Youtube" that shows you how to make an origami toy called a flasher.  If you pull on  it's corners really fast, it "flashes"  open and closed.  This kind of flasher is smaller than many other kinds, but is still awsome.  Here is a link for the video if you want to make it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YSEDUwd84A.  You can use just about any color paper, and this project is pretty simple and easy.  If you are a begginer at origami, however, this project may be more difficult because it involves twist folds and all that junk.  When this flasher is closed, it just looks like a small paper star kind of thing.  But when you open and close it, it swirls, which is cool.  This paper toy is really fun and I definitley recommend you make this.  Over all I give this project 5 *'s(stars).  I will be posting pictures of the flasher opened and closed andothe projects soon( I hope I don't jynx myself).  Bye guys!

Origami Columbus Tower Review

Hello everyone!  I found this video on "Youtube" by EzOrigami.  He made the video on how to make an origami panda that I reviewed.  He tells you how to make an origami columbus tower.  It is made up of origami columbus cubes which are regular origami cubes but with an inverted corner.  You use the inverted corner to stack the cubes in a way that makes the tower unique and abstract.  Here is the link for the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u-1a1UFj_k.This project is modular, so you need to make a lot of one shape to put together just to make one cube.  But once you make one cube, you get the hang of it.  This tower is really fun to make, and the amount of cubes in it is up to you.  The instructions are really clear and easy to understand,  and so is just about every other video by EzOrigami.  I'd say just about anyone can  make this origami tower, but it can take a while if you want to make a lot of cubes.  I made two columbus towers.  One had three cubes, and the other had four cubes.  Soon I will post pictures of the two towers.  Also, now I will be rating origami projects one to five stars. Until then, see you later!

Origami Monkey Review

Hi everybody!  Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days.  I've been lazy.  Anyway,  I found this video tutorial on how to make an origami monkey.  Here is a link to the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E18efnTPKFQ.  The username of the video maker  is happypuppytruffles.  Here is a link to her channel if you want to watch other origami tutorials:http://www.youtube.com/user/happypuppytruffles.  The origami monkey turns out to be pretty cool.  It can stand on it's four legsl ike how real monkeys do, which is also pretty cool.  The monkey does not have ears, though.  This makes the monkey look more like a dog.  However,  The monkey ends up with a roundish snout and face, which makes up for that.  The instructions for the origami monkey are clear and easy to follow.  But this project requires patience because it has it's tricky parts.  I would reccomend using a brown or brown-redish sort of color paper, as most monkeys are those colors.  Over all,  I would give this project 4 and 1/2 stars.  I will soon post pictures of the origami monkey and peacock.  Hopefully I will post tommorrow.  See you guys later!

Origami Peacock Review

Hey, guys! I was surfing the internet to look for cool origami projects, when I came across an origami peacock.  So I looked for instructions, and found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B9fVijOkVY.  The person giving the instructions speaks in portuguese, but since the disign for the peacock is so simple, it is easy to follow. The origami peacock itself turns out great and looks cool.  I would recommend using either a blue-green, blue, or purple-colored paper because those colors look closest to the color of a peacock.  The origami peacock represents a male, so it has a fan sort of tail.  This project takes about 5 minutes at most to make.  I definitley recommend you try to make this, because it is so easy and fun to make.

Origami Car Review

Hi everyone! I had enough time today to fold an origami car (as requested by Justin Levine) and review it. The url address for the instructions is http://www.origaminut.com/193/origami-car-vw-bug if you want to make it. Above  is how mine turned out.  It is supposed to be a buggy I think.  I would reccomend using a dark color paper because most cars I see today are dark colors.  It is a video tutorial, and no one in the video explains the steps.  This makes the project more difficult to do.   Even with someone explaining, the project is complicated and kind of frustrating.  This origami car took me at least forty minutes to make, mostly because I had to keep on redoing steps. I wouldn't reccomend little kids try to make this, unless they have someone help them like an adult.  If you have a lot of patience and are good at origami, this could be a great and fun project for you.

Origami Panda Review

Hey again!  I just finished making my origami panda from the video tutorial by EzOrigami on "Youtube".  If you want to make the panda yourslef, click on this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajn_2w6a-_c&NR=1.  For part 2 of the video, click here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rzSZJdick&feature=relmfu.  The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.  This project is tricky at some parts, but the outcome is great.  What is cool about the origami panda is that it can stand up without you having to hold it up.  This project is very fun, mainly because you know your gonna end up with a cool little paper panda. It is pretty easy to make, but like I said before, it has some tricky parts.  This is definitly a project I would reccomend that you do.  Hopfully soon I will post a picture of my origami panda. See you later!
