In the last entry I said I'd be going on a vast artistic pursuit to find something that I'm GOOD at. Things that I'm good at are pretty far and few between, but I'd always felt I wanted to do something creative. SO I decided I'd try as many different things as I could to try and find that thing.

So I started off with Origami, plenty of online documentation, no resources necessary (Except paper). Should be easy right?

Well I decided I'd go for the crane first. They aren't THAT hard to make and I'll be damned if I'm going to make something as aesthetically dull as a box or a boat (Which is just a flatter, wider box when you think about it.)

SO. I began my first guide and made a swan/crane thingy. Take a look here:

Not bad eh? That was my first try too, and I was thinking 'Maybe I have a knack for this'. I kind of went down the dreamy route of me recieving awards for building the most complex and beautiful origami statues, but I withdrew and decided to keep working upwards. My next task was to make a better looking swan, one with WINGS. A crane, if you will. Here is my result:

...Not what you were expecting eh? Well, bear in mind it wasn't my first try either. This was the fifth crane with wings I had produced and it still looked annoyingly similar to its four siblings.

So, origami...is it for me? Erm..well no, quite simply. Although I did manage to avoid getting papercuts.

Okay, so NEXT TIME I update my journal, I will have sampled Graffiti art. Or at least, the style of graffiti art, which I will be doing on playdoh graffiti (You can bugger off if you think I'm actually spraying anything at this stage).

Until next time!
