today i attempted to complete the origami stag model that i tried/failed to make the other day:

it’s kind of a sad stag, i know… i got further this time, but there are still some very wrong portions, and by the end, i was just mushing things all together which you can see if you look closely… i’m pretty sure it is all wrong. but it’s late, so i decided that’s going to have to be my attempted thing for today. maybe i’ll try to see if i can get an origami expert to help me correct my mistakes later…

after my failed attempts to make an origami model yesterday, i decided to try again, but picked a much simpler model:

i got the instructions from here. you’re supposed to use a new dollar bill, but i didn’t have one, so mine is a little bit wrinkled. i made it in the waiting room of a doctor’s office because, sadly, i’m still sick today.
