I designed this model
specifically for the first
official Origami Canada
Convention held in
Vancouver, BC. The Blue Jay
is BCs provincial bird. The
main challenge was the white
stripe on the wings, so I used
a base where I had the raw
corner free to use for this
colour-change. The tips of
the wings are also situated on
the edge of the square so they
can be colour-changed. The
shoulders of the wings are
separate flaps so they can be
shaped and also allow for the
colour changed ring around
the neck. The central graft
has three functions: adding
length to the tail, splitting the
central flap to form two
individual legs, and adding
more paper in the head area
to shape the detail.
Shaping is required for a
good result, especially the
head.

1. Use a bi-colored square,

blue or black on one side, and
white to light brown on the
other side. Wet folding is
suited for this model. Crease
the diagonals at the top.
2. Crease the midpoint of the

left edge.
3. Bring the top right corner

to the left edge midpoint and
crease the bottom edge at
point P.
4. Fold-unfold the right side

to point P.
5. Fold-unfold the same

amount of paper along the
top edge.
6. Kite fold the bottom left

corner to the downward
diagonal and pinch the left
edge at point Q.
R
R
45o
7. Bring the right bottom

corner to point Q. Pinch the
top edge at point R.
8. Fold-unfold the corner to

the diagonal through point R.
9. Fold-unfold the corner to

the crease you just made.
33
32
10. Pleat the corner by

changing the fold of step 9 to
a mountain fold. The valley
fold above lies between the
intersections of folds 4 and 5
with the paper edges.
11. Valley fold the corner

down on the crease of step 8.
13. Valley fold the bottom

half of the model up
asymmetrically. The fold
starts at the left edge where
the diagonal of step 1
intersects it. The fold touches
the tip of the folded over
corner on the right side.
14. Mountain fold the corner

parallel to the top edge of the
darkened small triangle. Xray lines indicate location of
the paper edges underneath.
Adjust the height of this fold
to reveal two small triangular
eyes.
12. Valley fold edges on

creases of steps 4 and 5.
15. Mountain fold the right

edge on a crease a bit lower
than the edge of the layer
behind it. Fold-unfold the left
edge in a similar fashion and
then fold the flap down.
19. Valley fold along the

diagonal crease of step 1.
22. Mountain crease the left

flap of the model on a line
nearly parallel its edge.
20. Refold the top edges.

Adjust folds 15 and 17 if the
top layer crinkles after this
step. Your womans eyes
should look like the inset
illustration of the next step.
23. Unfold the left edge.

Fold-unfold the right edge to
a crease of the last step.
Note: Make sure eyes are

visible after crossing flaps.
21. Cross the two sides so

that their edges meet the
crease of the opposing side.
Dont crease sharply.
24. Crease the left side of the

model as indicated and then fold
down the left edge (step 5). Valley
fold the right side up. The upper
edge of the resultant flap is parallel
to the crease of step 23.
reverse side
16. Unfold the edges.

Note: The previous folds
allow the bottom half of the
model to fit under the folded
over edges of the top half.
17. Valley fold the bottom

edge of the left corner along
the crease of step 15.
18. Fold the bottom half of

the model up along the crease
of step 13.
25. Valley fold the left

bottom edge up on the crease
just made.
Unfold the last step on the
right side.
26. Fold the left tip down.

The edges on the left side
meet. Valley fold this foot
assembly to the right. The
bottom edges of this fold also
lie along the same line.
27. Swivel the papers edge

up as you refold the right side
of the model. Adjust folds
if necessary to make a
rectangle of light paper on
the reverse side of this flap.
35
34
28. Narrow the flap with a

valley fold. Fold the end of
the flap to the left on an
existing crease. This flap end
will become a hand.
31. Shape the hand by

folding corners behind,
creating a thumb, and
narrowing the wrist and
curling fingers.
29. Fold the hand assembly

up on the crease of step 23.
You are now ready for final
shaping.
30. Fold the right side of the

model past the center on the
crease of step 21. Dont pinch
it sharply. Curve the lower
edge of this flap.
32. Fold the left side of the

model under the right side
with the hand. Round the
contour of the model like a
cone (see next diagram).

33. Fold the foot up, shape

the arms and wrist with
curved valley folds, and dent

crease that angles down

Spirit Fox & Heart

The Spirit Fox & Heart are two simple models, made from a single square of paper. For the fox, it helps
if the paper is slightly transparent when backlit so that the facial expression is visible.

Oh no, not another origami

penguin! is usually the first
reaction when presenting yet
another penguin design to the
abundant existing ones.
With this design I tried to be
a bit more specific in the type
of penguin, namely the
Emperor Penguin- the largest
of all the penguins. Although
the colours are the same as
for most other origami
penguins, the shape of
especially the large chest,
head and the longer beak
makes this variation so
recognisable.
It is possible to obtain
different head positions with
this design, and so a whole
Emperor Penguin family can
be folded by applying only
slight variations to the
folding sequence. The legs
are also quite long for a
penguin design, so the baby
penguin can thus be placed in
the fathers pouch.
Most papers will work well,

but thicker papers that are
wet-folded are best to give
more volume to the final
result.
