Origami-Free Week!
After the hectic Japan Habba, I decided to take a break from Origami for a few days. I managed to (not) do it until Saturday, when I had to teach my first of the weekly classes at Jaaga. I decided to break the fast with a nice cup of tea and a teapot, all from a single sheet of paper!
Tea Cup and Tea Pot
Design by Tomohiro Tachi
Crease Pattern here
Paper: A3 copy paper (30cm x 42cm)
Final model: 12cm x 16cm
Time: one hour
Complexity: High
This was the first time I folded it, so there is lots of room for improvement! The handles of the cup and teapot need to be rounded for example. Even then, it is a really cute design, and it should be possible to adapt it to make other designs.
The collapsing sequence is fairly tricky, even though the designer has provided a short video simulation.

Video Instructions here
Paper Dimensions: 3:11 or 3:12 rectangle
Folding Time: 10 minutes
Complexity: Simple
This is a very simple and fun model, and can be customized in various ways. For example the hairstyles and legs of the two models in the picture are different.

Paper: 8 squares, 15cm

I can't figure out if the name means anything. This is a nice design with 4 hearts in a pretty pattern. The view at the back is also good.
