Adirondack Camp
This is the only section not concerned with living subjects. Built objects offer their own design challenges. Foremost among these is that model must assume its three-dimensional form and hold together securely. These intermediate models are all inspired by the natural world, particularly the Adirondack Mountains and their environs. Choose a larger sheet for the Lean-To if you want to fold the Adirondack Camp objects to go together as a set.
Canoe
Cutting through the cool, smooth waters of a northern lake, almost silently; the only sound is the slight splash of the oars. Around the next bend you might spot a butterfly, a loon, or even a moose. In a canoe you can see many special places that you could not reach otherwise. This canoe features a fully three-dimensional, sculptural design, and even has a little bench.
Recommended paper: 6" square or larger. This model works well with a variety of papers including typical origami paper. For thicker papers you may wish to wet-fold the crimps in step 13.
Begin with a square, white side up.
1. Fold and unfold the diagonals. Turn the model over.
2. Fold two opposite corners to the center. Turn the model over.
3. Fold two opposite edges to the center.
