Elephant Bookmark

I have previously made a butterfly bookmark designed by Grzegorz Bubniak.

After trying out the Santa Page Marker, I decided to give the Nurse Page Marker a go. This is again made from the Page Marker Base described in David Petty’s book ‘Origami 1-2-3‘. The model should start with the white side up, in order to get the nurse’s face in colour and the rest of the nurse in white. Unfortunately I did it the other way round, so my nurse looks more like an Egyptian Pharoah, [Continued..]
