Prehistoric Origami

Michelinoceras and Anomalocaris, folded from a Japanese origami book I got for Christmas called “Dinosaurs 3″ by Fumiaki Kawahata.  Neither of these creatures is a dinosaur, but you get the point – the book has diagrams for how to fold creatures of which we only have fossils. These models are not very complicated, but there are others in the book that are more challenging. I hope to fold some of them soon and will post photos…

About Fr Matthew Green

Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location! One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos on Flickr and buy prints of some of them on Fine Art America. I am a daily contributor to GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution. I also have my own blog, Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.

    Hi, Matthew. My son loves origami and has been looking for this book for months to buy. Unfortunately, it’s out of print. We tried looking in Japan to buy. Would you mind letting me know where you got yours from? Very much appreciated. Kyndra

    • Hi! I bought the book from Origami USA, but it was a clearance item, precisely because it was going out of print and they only had a few copies left. They no longer have the book in stock. I’m sorry I can’t offer you any better news…
