Origami In Motion


Most origami is static; once created, it just sits there.  But some origami is made to move and bend, either to mimic the original design or to create a new effect.  The most common movable origami, and often the first paper-creation we make, is the fortune teller.  By moving the corners back and forth, we create a hypnotizing effect that simulates the mysteriousness of predicting the future.  Another favorite is the flapping crane.  Its design is a little different than the traditional version, but the alterations allow the wings to move if you pull the crane's tail.  There are many more movable origami creations, I will have to post more about this another time.
