Origami Basics 10

The Frog base.

This base is more complicated than the previous ones. As well as having several squash folds, you have several petal folds, too. The base itself has four long points, four short flaps and a long central point.

The traditional frog uses the frog base and several reverse folds to form the legs. The final step involves blowing into a hole at the bottom and inflating the model. I think that the frog looks rather nice as it is however. Inflating it also looks a little rude, too.
