You better watch out. You better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
.
He’s making a list. And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
This is a David Brill tableau, scaled down to teeny weeny because … well, because … because I could? I have a packet of shiny small origami paper so used that for the micro-reindeer – they sort of determined the scale for the remainder of the figures.
There is much to like about this festive scene – The sleigh is full of water bombs (the perfect summer gift), Santa sits, the reindeer seem animated and Rudolph has a lovely red nose, courtesy of a suggestion from “she who must be obeyed” to use a glass headed pin – good call.
I hope this post finds you enjoying family, fun and festive cheer. Our Christmas Origami display is as you see it here – most of these models are available for you in the auction house for a limited time only.
Very beautiful scene of Santa Claus and sleigh! I liked the detail of the red-nosed reindeer. Congratulations!
thanks, glass head pin sort of works – tried to avoid glue you see. Wherever possible I avoid glue, cuts etc
Merry xmas!
and to you as well
Hehe the dragon and praying mantis in proportion to Santa Claus are HUGE!!! 🙂
Hi This is really beautiful. I tried to follow the reindeer one but i dont know how to start.
The designs are taken fro the book “Brilliant Origami” by David Brill – my “dev” shots are not intended to be a tutorial, sorry, more of a visual reminder to myself of the process in case I fold them again
How much paper do you need
The diagrams say 9 squares and 2 2×1 rectangles
