"Oh dear, oh dear..... Origami- Santaland was badly affected by heavy snowstorms the last two days. No there is no electricity anymore!!!
This little Santa, folded from a rectangle (1:2) red/white kamipaper and only lit by candlelight, is trying to see on his map how other Santas are doing on their way to the human world. Will they be there on time? "

For the Macro Mondays theme: "Lit by Candlelight".

Model: origami 'Santa Christmas Box'

It's an old origami model, but I like it and it was fun folding it ;-)

"Oh dear,….. it really is a bit cold outside…… perhaps I should return to the warm and cosy fire…..
I was told that people are celebrating Carnival now these days…...well not all of them of course…….but it would be safe to go outside and explore the world…. they don't suspect I'm really a devil ;-)))))!!"

Enjoy the Carnival if you are in too it ;-))

An old origami model (1978), folded from three pieces of paper, head, body and legs. The size of the head is ¾ the size for the other two parts.
It also is mentioned in the diagrams that this origami devil was featured in the TV-film 'Tobias and the Angel', but that is unfamiliar to me…… Perhaps someone knows it?

Model: origami 'Devil'

“Everyone loves a comedy, my dear. It is divine.”
Quote ― Rawi Hage, Carnival

It was fun folding the origami 'Devil' by Robin Harbin and I noticed in the folding process, that the middle part, also looked interesting on the backside! With a few modificaties I turned it into this 'Carnival face' with a very long nose ;-))

Model: Carnival face
