""The powers of a Kappa are thought to be magical and are greatly respected by all those who believe in the deity. All Kappas are known to posses incredible strength and impressive swimming capabilities. They are also known for their love of fighting – especially sumo wrestling. It is said that a Kappa’s greatest joy in life is to engage in combat with its victims.""

As you already know, the Kappas also live in Origamil-and. Here we see a few of them doing their daily routine to practice their fighting skills. ;-))


Only had one sheet of this thin green paper and I wanted to fold three of them. Each Kappa is folded from two pieces of paper, 25x25cm, and the little one from 20x20cm.
Can you see which one is smaller?

"""Also riding on a sledge and managing the reindeers has to be practiced. Here we see the brother of the origami Santa-shaped chopstick wrapper and he just passed this examen. Three of his friends, the Santa-shaped pick holders, are very happy! They use artificial snow and that is not easy too ;-))"""

~~~ "Skull" and his nephew "Robot" are looking forward to seeing their friends again……. soon. But for now they still have time for their annual conversation to share all the news before celebrating Halloween with their friends ... A lot can happen in a year ……~~~

I folded "Skull" and his nephew "Robot" from one sheet brown foil (13x13cm). Interestingly, when you fold this model the other way around, so making the colored side to the main color, this origami model is more like a robot. Final size about 7,5x7,5cm.
It is easy to fold, why not give it a try? ;-))
