[kyleeshim]

[kyleeshim]

Nice easy at least for me

[chainsawninja3]

well, that was impossible. thanks for the crap instructions

[GeneralWarfield]

I would say this is a nice pelican but not the one that's diagrammed in birds in origami by john montroll (because it get's folded otu of a fish base and u use a preliminary fold )

[MeLikeCheetoes]

how come at the beginning, it says "...by john montroll"

but the website is for robert lang? lol.

[AdamsSara]

@MeLikeCheetoes Nice catch! Check johnmontroll(dot)com

[AdamsSara]

@boffyful Not so far. Is there something you think would be quite fitting for father's day? Maybe I can do something for Father's Day, too.

[stuchly1]

you're doing an awesome job Sara! keep them comming! =)

[iwatchandisee]

oof that's hard, I messed up and salvaged the paper by making a crane instead, I suppose I can try again and if i fail 999 more times I'll just wish for an origami pelican!

[mr1phillip]

[mrperfect87106]

Thanks for posting this. Sometimes it's hard to follow the diagrams in John's books. These videos make it much clear.

[hermafrodito]

Poor video si.

Que no llene youtube de mierda? Pero tu as visto tus videos? que lastima das

[smitty747]

Firts of all Sara, Congratulations on your recent marriage. I see you are now wearing a wedding band in many of your video's, so sometime since before Christmas 07 and now, you've gotten married. I've tried following you 5 times now in this model, but I'm lost between about 1:10 and 1:18; the mountain fold. Just don't understand this step. And then when you do the second one, I get lost again. Guess I better find an easier one. I love John's Montroll's stuff though.

[Schiclebum]

@smitty747 Yeah, I have to say I'm a bit lost there too! Mind you, the pressure of a three year old waiting for his pelican over your shoulder is just too unbearable!

[Schiclebum]

@Schiclebum Now I get it, any other dougheads with the same issue, watch 1:20 closely, the trick is not to pull the corner over but to concentrate on folding down the top edge. Duh!

[SakuraSamael]

I love your videos. They've helped me to make a number of pieces now. This is a cute model, though maybe not one of your better videos. I'm not saying it's bad by any means - your hands just seemed to get in the way more often than usual. Oh well. With a few encore viewings, this model doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to do anyway, so all's well. Nice work!

[AdamsSara]

Thanks for this. Well, it's one of my earlier videos (2 July 2007), so I agree that the recording isn't as good as it could be.

[ddhgg]

you're the best you've made lots of good videos

[brankaft]

i like your hands ^^

[ruffsocks]

i made it ty!

[hairsprayboy198]

what size paper relpy

[AdamsSara]

In the video I used a 20cm square. You can easily use a 15cm square for your first fold, though. I prefer 15cm squares, actually, but chose to use bigger paper so you could see what I'm doing more nicely in the video.

[NecroStooge]

i love your work you should be famous Ms or Mrs Sara

[gangstazzs]

poor video

[potestady]

I 'll try that too. =))
