Tanaka's "Leaf"
What: Leaf
By: TANAKA Tomoko
From: 100 Origami Shikishi Flowers (in Japanese); published by Gallery Origami House
Why: Continuing the "Autumn" theme for my workshop, I wanted a nice, easy leaf that we could do in various colors and then mount on a card. This one's flat when finished, very easy - although, interestingly, the zig-zag fold needed to do the stem in the center is often very confusing for total beginners, as there are no landmarks of the "match this corner to this corner" type for folding it - but it worked out well.
