Mushroom






So I did photograph the mushroom this morning.  It is a little bit of a long shot, more of an architectural shape that I have given a name to.

The basic idea was that the same folds that I use for stairs, the cowboy hat and the ziggurat can be turned inside out to create a sort of darting in the paper.  When repeated this gives a bump in the middle of the sheet.  I used a simple tuck underneath to stop it undoing itself.  

For the mushroom head I just did a second set of darts a bit further from the middle and on the diagonal.  I have to admit the rolled paper as the base is kind of funny.  I like the idea of a non folded origami object.  This again is a multi piece model which am in two minds about but it hasn't stopped me posting it.
