Random News - There are many elephants in origami. But this elephant, created by Mr. Fumiaki Kawahata, is one of my favorite animals in origami. I learned by rote the steps to do it years ago at an origami convention in New York City.
The folding sequence for this particular model is absolutely pleasing and the resulting elephant has a delightful volume. I warn you that you will find yourself folding many of these elephants for your friends and family. And a few strangers will quickly become friends when you give this elephant in origami.
The paper onion (also known as bible paper) is a great role to make this elephant. Here you will find instructions for coloring that paper and use it with this and many other origami models.
