I designed this model
specifically for the first
official Origami Canada
Convention held in
Vancouver, BC. The Blue Jay
is BC’s provincial bird. The
main challenge was the white
stripe on the wings, so I used
a base where I had the raw
corner free to use for this
colour-change. The tips of
the wings are also situated on
the edge of the square so they
can be colour-changed. The
“shoulders” of the wings are
separate flaps so they can be
shaped and also allow for the
colour –changed ring around
the neck. The central graft
has three functions: adding
length to the tail, splitting the
central flap to form two
individual legs, and adding
more paper in the head area
to shape the detail.
Shaping is required for a
good result, especially the
head.

1. Use a bi-colored square,
blue or black on one side, and
white to light brown on the
other side. Wet folding is
suited for this model. Crease
the diagonals at the top.
2. Crease the midpoint of the
left edge.
3. Bring the top right corner
to the left edge midpoint and
crease the bottom edge at
point P.
4. Fold-unfold the right side
to point P.
5. Fold-unfold the same
amount of paper along the
top edge.
6. Kite fold the bottom left
corner to the downward
diagonal and pinch the left
edge at point Q.
7. Bring the right bottom
corner to point Q. Pinch the
top edge at point R.
8. Fold-unfold the corner to
the diagonal through point R.
9. Fold-unfold the corner to
the crease you just made.

10. Pleat the corner by
changing the fold of step 9 to
a mountain fold. The valley
fold above lies between the
intersections of folds 4 and 5
with the paper edges.
11. Valley fold the corner
pleat down on the crease of
step 8.
12. Valley fold edges on
creases of steps 4 and 5.
13. Valley fold the bottom
half of the model up
asymmetrically. The fold
starts at the left edge where
the diagonal of step 1
intersects it. The fold touches
the tip of the folded over
corner on the right side.
14. Mountain fold the corner
parallel to the top edge of the
darkened small triangle.
X-ray lines indicate location of
the paper edges underneath.
Adjust the height of this fold
to reveal two small triangular
“eyes”.
15. Mountain fold the right
edge on a crease a bit lower
than the edge of the layer
behind it. Fold-unfold the left
edge in a similar fashion and
then fold the flap down.
16. Unfold the edges.
Note: The previous folds
allow the bottom half of the
model to fit under the folded
over edges of the top half.
17. Valley fold the bottom
edge of the left corner along
the crease of step 15.
18. Fold the bottom half of
the model up along the crease
of step 13.

11. Valley fold the corner
down on the crease of step 8.

20. Refold the top edges.
Adjust folds 15 and 17 if the
top layer crinkles after this
step. Your woman’s eyes
should look like the inset
illustration of the next step.
21. Cross the two sides so
that their edges meet the
crease of the opposing side.
Don’t crease sharply.
22. Mountain crease the left
flap of the model on a line
nearly parallel its edge.
Note: Make sure eyes are
visible after crossing flaps.
23. Unfold the left edge.
Fold-unfold the right edge to
a crease of the last step.
25. Valley fold the left
bottom edge up on the crease
just made.
Unfold the last step on the
right side.
27. Swivel the paper’s edge
up as you refold the right side
of the model. Adjust folds
if necessary to make a
rectangle of light paper on
the reverse side of this flap.

19. Valley fold along the
diagonal crease of step 1.
26. Fold the left tip down.
The edges on the left side
meet. Valley fold this “foot”
assembly to the right. The
bottom edges of this fold also
lie along the same line.
24. Crease the left side of the
model as indicated and then fold
down the left edge (step 5). Valley
fold the right side up. The upper
edge of the resultant flap is parallel
to the crease of step 23.
bottom view
28. Narrow the flap with a
valley fold. Fold the end of
the flap to the left on an
existing crease. This flap end
will become a hand.
29. Fold the hand assembly
up on the crease of step 23.
You are now ready for final
shaping.
30. Fold the right side of the
model past the center on the
crease of step 21. Don’t pinch
it sharply. Curve the lower
edge of this flap.
31. Shape the hand by
folding corners behind,
creating a thumb, and
narrowing the wrist and
curling fingers.
32. Fold the left side of the
model under the right side
with the hand. Round the
contour of the model like a
cone (see next diagram).
33. Fold the foot up, shape
the arms and wrist with
curved valley folds, and dent
the right side with a valley
crease that angles down

Spirit Fox & Heart
The Spirit Fox & Heart are two simple models, made from a single square of paper. For the fox, it helps
if the paper is slightly transparent when backlit so that the facial expression is visible.

PaPer Info:12-inch (30 cm) scrapbook paper was used to make this model that stands 4
inches (10 cm) tall at the head.
TIPs and TrIcks:
Scrapbook, kami, or giftwrap paper would all work well. The Dragon looks
great in different sizes. There is a pocket underneath so you can use the model as a finger
puppet or mount it on a stick for decorative purposes. You can inside reverse the legs at
the end to make them pointed as shown in the alternate image on the Contents page.
Steps 1-6 show an alternate way of folding the Preliminary Base.
