Hi everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the summer. We just got back from our 2-week vacation, but thankfully I'd prepared enough origami videos for you to enjoy before leaving. Here's an update of the videos I posted in the last month:
1. Robin by David Brill When Dave posted a photo of this bird last year, I was immediately in love. So I was super excited when Dave published diagrams for his robin on his website. I immediately gave it a go and must say it is a fantastic work. To me, it is one of his best designs. hence I was overjoyed when Dave gave me permission to make a tutorial on it. I highly recommend you give this bird a go - be it from diagrams or following my video.

Monkey Head by Robin Glynn You cannot believe how happy I was when I heard Robin would be publishing a book on a selection of his work: "Origami Originals" by Robin Glynn: https://www.happyfolding.com/book-glynn-origami_originals I ordered it right after it was out and got folding. I discovered some old favorites, but also some designs I hadn't folded before. One of them stood out to me especially: the monkey head. So with Robin's permission I produced a tutorial on it. Photo: https://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-glynn-monkey_head Tutorial: https://youtu.be/toVA8T05EWM or https://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-glynn-monkey_head Time-Lapse: https://youtu.be/_3c7mn7ewq4 or In addition to his new, fantastic book, Robin also set up a new website http://www.origamioriginals.com/ and a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT8uEsrmvQGvMvERWPKKYdw He's been busily putting diagrams and tutorials up there, too, so if you like Robin's design aesthetic you'll have even more resources to enjoy his work with! Thanks, Robin, for all your origami models and your generosity in sharing your work - be it in the form of your book, your website, your YouTube channel or of giving me permission to present your work, too! In other exciting news, I have a major milestone coming up - my YouTube channel is about to reach 100.000 subscribers. It's quite unbelievable. Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the last 11 years. Making these videos is something I enjoy, but it is also hard work. The reward I get is not monetary, it comes in origami friendships, raising the recognition of designers' work, and also of my work. So thanks to the designers, to those who inspire me, and to those that subscribe, provide feedback, or simply watch my videos. To celebrate the occasion I will be posting a more elaborate tessellation tutorial on Alessandro Beber's 1-Cube Exercise, which I hope you'll all enjoy. Plus, I have a short, fun video planned, too. If you're curious, do check back next week or better yet, subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet. :) Have a great weekend and of course happy folding, -- Sara
