It makes me happy to do new things every once in a while in order to spice things up. The last thing I want…
I’ve been fiddling around with this origami camel for a few days now. It was initially meant to be a horse, but I figured – hey, there are a gazillion horse models out there – why not make it into a less appreciated animal: CAMEL? It even has a saddle. Did you know that you can buy vintage camel saddles on eBay? Who knew!

In celebration of the release of Self-Helf (Self-Help) by Miranda Sings (her new book!), I decided to design a series of Miranda Sings Origami tutorials!
