From a slithering electric eel to a ferocious barracuda, Duy Nguyen shows you simple paper folding techniques for crafting extraordinary sea creatures. These striking projects, specially designed for Under the Sea Origami, are fun to make using Nguyen's instructions. You don't have to dive under the sea to spot dolphins because these mammals enjoy jumping out of the water. Your origami model will emulate this graceful leaping motion once you create its intricately-folded arched back, fins, and snout. With a long, wide body and whip-like tail, the stingray is a most distinctive-looking fish. It appears to be in mid-flight even though it's nimbly swimming in the water. The hammerhead shark is easily recognized by the shape of its skull. A large tail, made by using mountain and valley folds, rises dramatically to give the hammerhead a great silhouette. The origami blue shark, on the other hand, will attract attention because of its large gaping mouth! To complete the swordfish, you'll need to attach two pieces of folded paper together. Anyone might be frightened by the appearance of a creature that has a swordlike beak and pointy head, unless it was made of paper like this one is! The squid is as fun to create as the swordfish. Its creepy tentacles will take shape after you cut the valley-folded tail into layers. You will find that these unusual origami projects are among the most original ever designed. Book jacket.
