Ghost in the shell

My husband was watching this Aneme called "ghost in the shell" and he called me over to see an animation of someone folding a crane one handed, so I tried it and it totally works, not sure if its exactly like in the animation, but I thought it was neat and wanted to share.

  • One-handed origami! What a neat idea! I have to try it right now!
    • thats what I did, I practacly knocked over the table getting to my paper!
      did yours work?
      • I will be honest.

        I used a shortcut and ended up with the pattern on the inside.

        Also, while I was very focussed and got it to the point where the wings are created, I set it aside for a while. When I returned, I instinctively finished it up, forgetting about the one hand rule.

        I will try it again when I have a larger block of time.

        I am right-handed so I was thinking it might be more of a challenge if I use my left hand. Perhaps one could do two at the same time? Or even blind-folded!
        • I'm right handed and used my left, I dont know if that helped or hurt. In the cartoon he used his mouth to open it, so thats what I did, but that was the only part. The part after ithe wings is the hardest but its not impossible, My "beak" ended up a little weird. I was wondering about the two at the same time thing too.
  • When I broke my right hand, I became better at one handed origami.
    But, hey if you think that's hard, try it with one foot !
