End it with a BANG!





Hi guys!



Unfortunately, this will be my last post on this website. But instead of being sad, let's end it with a BANG!

As some of you know, today is Lunar New Year,  Vietnamese New Year for some, Chinese New Year for others. But guess what, it's the same zodiac sign, the Chicken/Rooster! So, in celebration of the New Year, I've decided to make chickens and a dragon.





The chicken origami in particular, was not hard, in fact it was really easy. Though the dragon on the other hand, was a tad bit more difficult. According to the author, she states that, "This is my favorite of the more than ten chicken origami that i have developed" (Kasahara 358). This shows that she enjoys making it, and it probably looks really good in person. This was totally true, I had lots of fun making it, and the end result was really cute! 




What was really eye opening to me was how folding at a different spot can turn the chicken to either a hen or a rooster (Kasahara 359). I did a rooster since it's technically the year of the rooster, not hen. 

The reason why I didn't really talk about the Dragon was due to the fact that I had learned how to fold it through YouTube (which in my opinion is totally better than learning how to fold origami through a book). Even though there were instructions on how to make an origami dragon, I didn't like it's design, so I found another one. 








I truly thank you all for taking the time and reading my blog, it has been a really enjoyable ride, and experience. "Every moment sent was blindingly bright. Because the day was good, because the day wasn't good, because the day was just alright. I loved every single day" (Goblin). Just wanted to share this quote with you all since it's one of my favorite, and it fits the theme of the last post. Happy Lunar New Year!




Question: After reading my blogs, are you inspired to learn origami? Why are why not?

What time does a chicken go to bed? Half past hen.
