Mermaid (HP)

Designed and folded August 2021

Paper: 60cm double tissue

For most designs I do a number of test folds before the final fold, but this one was almost entirely winged. As a result, a few problems arose, such as that the right arm was too short and looked weird at the shoulder, or that the bra flap (which wraps around the back) was too thick and the transition was messy. The solution was to cover it up with other parts of the model; ie, the pose was chosen specifically so that the hair could cover the weird shoulder, and the left arm could cover the bra part.
