This was a very challenging paper fold, but I managed to complete this project after 3 hours. This origami was devised by Gabriel Alvarez from the book Origami Sourcebook (author: Jay Ansill).
I used an A3 sized paper. Based on my experience, a smaller-sized paper will make folding this project difficult. As it is, I skipped some folding instructions, particularly those that further defined features at the latter part and I also improvised, such as the tail. But I like the result overall. Kudos to Mr. Alvarez for this ingenious origami.
Pegasus is one of my favorite mythical creatures. One can wonder how such a beautiful creature actually came out of Medusa's blood! Pegasus was instrumental in the destruction of the Chimaera, and served Zeus as he brought the god his weapon of lightning. Alas, Pegasus was mortal but because he faithfully served the gods, he became a constellation, a place of honour in the skies.
I like this origami so much I took some thick cardboard and mounted it. It is now on display in my office.Technorati tags: origami

so, you are into origami now. Ang galing naman. I've seen someone do a knight, castle and all sa Japan. Awesome!
tito Rolly: Medyo matagal na rin :-). Pangarap kong pumunta ng Japan and immerse myself in their art and culture.
I haven't tried Alvarez's version. Yung kay Kamiya lang, at kay Anibal Voyer. You know what, I've never thought of mounting them on a cardboard. Oo nga no? Seems more formal and display-friendly that way. Yung mga works ni Kamiya though, like his dinosaurs, they can stand on their own kahit two legs lang, so if you've carefully folded them, you'll end up with a pretty balanced structure. Maybe I'll use the mount on the four-legged creatures. :)
How often do u go back to Baguio?
