Rabbit

I remember folding this rabbit cross-legged on a couch at my house, with one of my school textbooks on my lap to press the paper against. With each crease I started to see the rabbit more, as if I were wiping away fog on a misty window. The final result was very gratifying: I was struck by the very life-like ears in this adorable origami rabbit design. I also liked the use of pleats that simultaneously made the round back of the rabbit and the four paws. Even though the features of the rabbit seemed slightly simplistic – the face is square – I thought that the angles of the shapes gave the rabbit a perky appearance. I will definitely be folding this cleverly designed rabbit again.
