Little origami elephant

You know how sometimes you need to take a break from work and fold an elephant? Here's my attempt, following this YouTube video in which Jo Nakashima shows how to make an origami elephant designed by Li Jun.

This guy's pudgy derriere is even cuter than his face.

    Aww, he's adorable!

    P.S. Did you know that for those verification 'pictures' you can type any word you want and it still works?

    Yeah, or on any blog that has the verification words. There's one word and one picture.

    He is a cutie. And yes, I know exactly the feeling you're talking about, when you just need to stop and fold a damn elephant! <3

    My daughter, the 10 year old origami addict, will love this one. She's on a crane binge right now - I think the plan is to attach 100 of them to her ceiling - so the elephant will be a welcome change for her.

    Never done origami before but this elephant was too cute to pass up. So I got out my paper and sat infront of the computer watching Youtube and made my slightly wonky elephant :) Good fun!!
