Modular Lizard


This clever articulated lizard was invented by the master Japanese modular origamist, Tomoko Fuse. Using 12 sheets of green paper (all the same size), you create a head, tail, torso, and legs, and all are connected with ingenious locking joints that keep the pieces attached while still allowing them to swivel freely. The final result is both realistic looking and fun to play with.

Instructions for this lizard came out of "The Practical Illustrated Encyclopedia of Origami" by Rick Beech.

My sister said the lizard looked cool except that its disturbing flatness made it look like it had been run over by a car. Hmmm - interesting observation.
