Netflix origami: Lawrence of Arabia

July 27th, 2010 at 10:11 pm (Crafts)

The next Netflix movie I watched after MirrorMask was Lawrence of Arabia. Wow, what a movie! It leaves an enduring impression due to its sweeping desert vistas, its portrayal of the quirky, passionate, (slightly mad?) character of T. E. Lawrence, and its length. I learned a lot about WWI that I didn’t previously know, such as the role of the Arabs in the conflict.

And in honor of this great movie, I learned how to fold an origami camel. Check it out!

    (Knew it already.)

    Ha ha! You finally got around to it. Are you watching PILLARS OF THE EARTH? I love it. We can do a marathon here when your schedule frees up a bit.

    I love that video tutorial site! That might even make me want to do more origami!

    I learned that you’re neat! What if you watch an abstract movie like Inception? What origami would you make?

    Thanks Jon! I did see Inception, and that’s a great one for origami (though I didn’t see it through Netflix). How about an origami top you can spin?
