I don't have an origami icon. This is Not Good.

kate_nepveu asked for a pic of the griffin I folded during TusCon this weekend.* By the time I got back to the hotel lobby, it had vanished,** so as a substitute, here's a Chinese dragon by the same designer*** in a crappy, unprocessed cell-phone shot.



Almost as cute. Made from 15x15cm paper acquired from the pusher. I should have taken a picture of it facing the western-style dragon, but didn't think to.


* In my defense, they put a packet of origami paper outside the anime room. Like I was supposed to ignore it? Besides, the registration desk looked lovely, decked in fantasy creatures and connected cranes.

** Which is a pity, as it was way cute at 2" long.
