Origami jellyfish, one square sheet of elephant hide paper. Colors are inspired by Thysanostoma loriferum. Zoom in to see the glitter!
#mine#origami#jellyfish#that was what the hexagons were for did you guess ? :)#original model is by Beth Johnson and only the bell/umbrella is in one single sheet (hexagonal)#the tentacles are all added separately#I wanted to see if I could do it all with one sheet of paper so I used the exact same hexagon CP for the bell and simply placed it#at the center of a bigger square of paper#pretty glad of how it came out#tentacles would need some cleanup if I ever fold this again and I could workshop a frillier edge for the bell as well#still really nice this is the most elaborate modification of an existing model I've made#if you want to see the original model it's in origami aquarium by Makoto Yamaguchi p.200#it looks so cute... teensy jelly#I used elephant hide paper (my enemy) to use up this roll i've had#i thought it'd at least be nice to collapse the hexagon tessellation which it was but that's really the only nice part asdfgh#if I fold this again I'll use smth thinner so the tentacles aren't as bulky#and to hell with the cleanliness of the hexagons#honestly the paper tension works in your favor for thoses#they get tightened when you round out the umbrella instead of flattened out as I feared#so the elephant hide really isn't needed... as usual!#anyway enjoy :3
