Anaconda

Model: Anaconda

Designer: Kevin Hutson

Paper: 12 in. x 12 in. backcoated unryu

Creation: I first learned the idea of using the four corners of a square as flaps and connecting two of them to make a continuous body for a snake from Satoshi Kamiya. His snake is far more complex than this one, and I wanted to make a simpler version. I had seen a very simple snake online that used diagonal pleats to utilize both sides of the paper (I believe that design was by Rita Foelker). I combined the two ideas with a simple head design and voilà: an anaconda.
