pegasus

This has got to be my favorite model to fold, and the first model in a long time that I committed to memory so that I would be able to produce it at any time.
It’s simple, elegant and a pegasus! I folded this one out of a piece of origami paper I wrote a few sentences on from an in-class project. I really like the addition of the scribble as an emerging texture. Not knowing how or where it would exactly end up while folding.
I just want to add that I always find the final product so attractive! There is something in the angles, proportion and the chunkiness of the legs, that is immensely gratifying. It also makes for a extremely stable standing figure which is not always accounted for when folding.

To get the pegasus, there a just few steps you need to take from the eight point star… here is a pic of that from a previous post

A bit blurry, but a really good angle that shows off the tail.

Two folds I like to add to this model is an inside reverse fold to create more of a square snout and a soft inside reverse fold on the tail to give more of an illusion of it hanging.

fold on.
