Flying Duck Orchid

While this is not one of my most complex models, it is certainly one of my strangest design subjects. When I first saw a picture of one of these, I couldn't believe how much it actually looked like a flying duck. I knew instantly I had to design one. The base was simple (comparatively) to collapse, but the shaping process was surprisingly tricky, especially the "head".

Design date: March, 2013

Paper used: A single un-cut square of back-coated mulberry tissue paper treated with methyl cellulose.
