Cut Out + Keep

Rainbow Koi

For those who can't afford real pools of koi, this should suffice...

My friend once told me that she liked a wall hanging of origami koi that she saw online, but the etsy shop that sells it had it priced at over $1000 (http://coulourblind.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/installationen_4.jpg). Thus, I set out to hunt for origami koi instructions to make this for her birthday. I plan to show her the fish but attach it to her wall at a later day (perhaps I'll use wire to make the fish pop out...). I started in August but her birthday's this December because I planned ahead, anticipating the workload of college applications ^^. Her birthday is three weeks away, but I'm extremely excited to give this to her!
