"""This young Santa is very fanatical. He is practicing every moment of the day. He would like to set the fastest time in the sleigh descent and thus go down in the Santa Book of Records as the best sleigh driver of all time!"""
This is very old model, designed in 1964! And as far as I know also quite unknown among folders. It's a nice model though, perhaps the diagrams are not that clearly..... or only published on the CD?
Anyway, enjoy your Wednesday ;-))

"Hurray, I'm so excited what this new week will bring…….I smell something good….", says this tiny heraldic dragon.
Perhaps you say it doesn't look like a dragon, that what I thought too, but according to WiKi (and the designer) it is a dragon ;-)):
"""Originally, heraldic dragons could have any number of legs, but, by the late Middle Ages, due to the widespread proliferation of bestiaries, heraldry began to distinguish between a "dragon" (which could only have exactly four legs) and a "wyvern" (which could only have exactly two).
A dragon is a magical legendary creature that appears in the folklore of multiple cultures worldwide. Beliefs about dragons vary considerably through regions, but dragons in Western cultures since the High Middle Ages have often been depicted as winged, horned, and capable of breathing fire. Dragons in eastern cultures are usually depicted as wingless, four-legged, serpentine creatures with above-average intelligence. Commonalities between dragons' traits are often a hybridization of feline, reptilian, mammalian, and avian features."""

Quote - Pablo Picasso
"""The little Moose's Dragon is doing the daily stretching excises, because for dragons it is also very important to stay flexible."""" ;-))
I always try to shoot multiple scenes and situations for the origami models, that I fold. Coincidentally, the theme for the 😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄 this week is 'Reflection(s)', so that also fitted in nicely.
Happy Crazy Tuesday 😄

‘My Shadow’ (a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson) is told from the perspective of a child who is trying to understand what purpose his shadow serves. Enjoy ;-))
'My Shadow'
~~~I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.~~~
Topview of the origami Mooser's dragon. Like the 'real' dragon shadow ;-)))
