At a cottage by the sea, I had to fold something appropriate!
This is my first try at Robert Lang’s origami horseshoe crab. Folded from a single uncut sheet of foil paper. It would be better with brown paper, but I didn’t have the right kind on hand; foil was the strongest, thinnest paper I have with me right now on vacation…
It has a few challenging steps in it…

Good Morning Gloucester 
I continue to be amazed by what you can do with a single sheet of paper and nothing else! You must have an incredible menagerie of paper creatures. Again, I urge you to start an Origami Workshop and Museum. It would be wildly popular, I’m sure! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I have boxes of origami models in my apartment, but I also give a lot of them away. I have been teaching some classes at Art Haven and The Hive, and hope to do some exhibits if I can put together enough display-quality models…
