ORIGAMI DRAGON BOOKMARK by Jo Nakashima

So, this is an absolutely gorgeous boomark by Jo Nakashima with some of the clearest instructions I have ever seen.
I chose this model to enter @kristyglas bookmark competition @kristyglas/random-games-week-6
This tutorial asks for 30cm by 15cm foil tissue paper.
I have 5cm by 5cm foil paper which I cut in half. Why I decided this was a suitable substitute the world will never know.
I started strong. The bookmark end started to shape and the body of the dragon started to appear.
I formed the tail folded it in half and gave it the required curl. I then knew that I was in trouble.
The folds to position and shape the wings were never going to happen. The folds to create the ears and narrow the tail were too ridiculous to even contemplate.
I cut my losses and did my best to give my poor dragon some wings and a head resulting in him looking more like a half dragon half crane creature.
I may not be proud of him but I will still use him as a bookmark and enter him in the competition.
I will definitely try this model again. Once I have the right size paper. :)
