Much more explicit Pornigami

Hey Reader,

After making a non-functioning mouth out of paper, I decided to try something a little more challenging. How creepy would it be to have a functioning mouth made of paper? What would a paper mouth eat? It would have to be soft things since that mouth had no teeth. I suppose if I was making a functioning mouth, it would have to have teeth, but chewing would be tough since the teeth would probably be made of paper. I would think that soft things would make the most sense, but liquid and paper mouths probably aren't a good mix either. Think of the paper cuts when making out. Especially since that last mouth had a tongue like that scene in the Mask.

I am not going to make this hypothetical any less disturbing with this next project. We really are a far cry from cranes and fortune tellers at this point.

Turns out that this project is actually using two different pornigami patterns. The pants are one pattern. Meanwhile the paper protuberance coming out of them are actually part of a dollar origami project that is just retrofitted for this project.

In theory, the shorts can be made without adding that part. There are plenty of tutorials out there to make origami shirts. You could craft a whole outfit for your creepy living origami mouth from three paragraphs up.

Pictured here is one of the more common bases for origami sculpture. It is used in the creation of these fine tailored origami pants.

I know I linked to it last time, but if you want to make this stuff, check out the book: Pornogami. I'm just noticing now that the full title is Pornogami: A Guide to the Ancient Art of Paper-Folding for Adults. Who else would this be for friends? Perhaps origami people who were not built anatomically correct? I am really stuck on this living paper thing.

I feel like I am getting distracted. Below is a picture of the completed pants for my origami overlord. Once that was done it was time to start making the part of this paper craft that makes it relevant in a book called Pornogami.

I actually found the instructions to be a touch difficult to follow here. Since the instructions were designed for a dollar bill (and even in the book there was no intention of using a dollar bill for this project), the reference points in the tutorial were tougher to follow. I would have just included the instructions again with regular paper. Then again I am not a published origami author so who am I to judge.

The project actually had me using a thin strip of paper I had cut off to make the paper for my pants a square. Very thrifty! One of the consequences of that, is that the finished product is insanely long. The book legitimately suggests ripping the end off to the desired length. I want you to think about the phrase "desired length" for just a moment. Now I want you to do everything you can to stop thinking about it.

I don't know if it is my own masculinity or just that I spent a good deal of this project considering the ramifications of a person made entirely of paper, but I am not comfortable ripping this paper I have sculpted into a phallus.

Therefore, my finished product might look a little more cartooney than the actual project was designed to be. I am comfortable with that. When the paper people take over, I hope they remember that I never ripped their penises in half.

There are a lot more projects in this book. Maybe you will see them again. Maybe I will stop so as no to anger the paper gods.

Either way, you should keep making cool stuff!

Until next time,
