Do or do not… there is no try

I like making origami. It’s relaxing and interesting how so many things can be created with just one single piece of paper. I’ve recently discovered a tutorial online on how to make Jedi Master Yoda in origami! I actually attempted to create this effigy of the diminutive, elf-like, master of The Force…

I know what you’re wondering, ‘you’re a Star Trek fan, you’re whole site is Star Trek!‘ Well, I love Star Wars too. More the original trilogy story line and cast than the prequel versions.. but let’s save that story for another entry.

For my first attempt in creating this piece of art took a while, about 2 hours actually. I didn’t realize how detailed it would be. His right hand was the hardest part. I guess it would of been easier if I used a larger piece of paper. The last time I tried to make something this difficult in origami was a winged grasshopper with all six legs and antennae.

You can see my attempt, on the left, of creating Master Yoda in paper. Like I said, I had a hard time making his right hand. His hands look more like he’s holding up the ‘Peace’ sign or ‘I love you’ in sign language.. haha! So if you’d like to create Master Yoda in origami, download the tutorial…have fun and you must have patience! Patience young padawan learner and like Master Yoda says, “Do or do not.. there is no try” and I did.
