This piece is technically kirigami because the tail and the mouth were cut. The fish looked cute, so who am I to be a purist? I also altered it slightly in that I didn't turn the tail fold inside out and did an extra fold on the face so that they would be the patterned side of the paper. I didn't have any boogley eyes, but the little red flower is almost in the right place for the eye.
They say as we get older, we should take up new hobbies to challenge our brains and build new synaptic pathways. While folding some of the these patterns, I swear I can feel the pathways forming as I work. It's not necessarily a pleasant sensation. It is, in fact, hard. But a challenge is a good thing.... Mary
