Today’s chopstick wrapper doodle became a triplane! Using a pair of waterbomb bases to form the wings frees up the rest of the length for the body and tail. Open sinks give the wings a sense of height and presence.

Sushi Buddies: Y-Wing Edition
I’ve had Y-Wings on the brain lately because of Star Wars play-by-post game I’m in where we’re finally getting to some space combat!
I ended up using the tearing technique again. You can see the slightly ragged edges of the engines in the picture above.
Sushi Buddies: Lobster Edition
While technically this little guy counts as a Ramen Buddy (we went to Menya Ultra) I like the sound of Sushi Buddy better for some reason. Anyways, the red color got me thinking along lobster lines. I used the same technique from the scorpion claws: tearing it in half partway down.
Sushi Buddies: Scorpion Edition
One of my favorite things to do when going out for sushi is to make something fun from the inevitable chopstick wrapper. This evening I went for a scorpion, eschewing my usual rule against cutting/tearing. For a very long time, I stuck to notions of “pure” origami being a single uncut square. Then I got over myself. I still prefer an uncut square, but really, sometimes it just makes sense to make the most of the material you’ve got.

Sushi Buddies: Snail Edition
Made this little buddy at dinner. Chopstick wrappers are great for random little models.
Sushi Buddies: Farmer Edition
Found a nice use for the wrapper at dinner after a long day at the origami convention.
