"""Leviathan is a mythical creature, that appears in several books of the Hebrew Bible and other ancient sources. It is often associated with chaos, envy, and the end of time, and has various origins and meanings in different cultures..
A Leviathan is a giant sea creature. It can be real, like a whale, or mythical, like a Serpent or Sea Dragon.
Legend tells us that the Leviathan was at least 300 miles in length. The exact size of the creature was unknown, because the size of the Leviathan was too big to be comprehended by man. This mighty sea creature was known to have a hot temper, that was feared by all and armored scales, that made it impossible to kill the beast."""
Info - the internet


~~~Fortunately in Origami-land the Leviathan is just a friendly Sea Dragon with magical powers, it can fly and live also outside the water.
By the way, it seems to be the season of flying Sea Dragons. Let me know if you spot one too in your own garden or elsewhere. ;-))~~~

"Woopie, this is a perfect place to spend the night. Very peaceful and quiet! I just love it!!", says this Sea Dragon joyfully ;-))


Sometimes you see that a designer, for whatever reason, comes up with a second more complicated design. That is also the case here.
For this Sea Dragon I made the paper myself: two layers of tissue paper glued on top of each other, blue and black. The colors blended well and the bluest side became the outside. Why I did this? Well, because this model is more complex, has more layers of paper, more refined details and needs even more modeling, than the previous version (see first comment box, in case you missed it yesterday) and then this paper is very suitable.
I also enjoyed making this paper, it's always exciting to see if it succeed, I haven't mastered the right formula yet.


The size of this paper is 43x43cm.
Final size: length 24cm, depends how you shape it
