[Rather simple] How to fold a pop-up card of a sun that opens up to reveal a person watching the sunset. This origami sunset / sitting person model is from one square, but the smile and sunglasses need to be drawn on if desired.
The octagon origami sun in this model is folded in the same manner as the dot (third eye) in the origami portrait, a picture of which I recently published on my Community Tab. The whole purpose for designing this pop-up was to show how to fold the dot up close as a useful reference when I finally manage publish the tutorial for the portrait, which I modeled after my Indian friend, Manashita, an accomplished electrical engineering professor/scientist from Tezpur University in Assam, who is currently conducting research at UC Berkeley on a one-year Fulbright scholarship. We met salsa dancing and have danced a lot together.
The idea to transform it into a sun reflecting off the water was inspired my other friend, Marisol, whose name literally means 'sea and sun' in Spanish. The idea to transform it into a person watching the sunset came from my third friend, Mirasol, a lifeguard at Stinson Beach. Just kidding. There's no third friend. The sitting person was just manifested by playing with the paper and trying to make good use of the appendages-at-hand (flaps of paper).
