Le Cochonnet (Little Pig)

This little pig is called "Le Cochonnet", which is Jersey French for 'Little Pig' or 'Piglet'. He is made from a Jersey pound note (yup, Jersey still has pound notes!). I grew up in Jersey and from the age of 15-18 lived in a housed called "Le Cochonnet" (and which I visit often as my mum still lives there), hence the inspiration to make a Pig from the jersey money! Jersey is a small island (45 square miles) which is part of the Channel Islands to the South of England and off the West coast of Normandy. It's more famous for cows then pigs.

Origami Advent Calendar

This is a simple idea for an advent calendar using origami envelopes and wooden pegs! Each envelope is filled with a little origami treat too!

You can find the instructions for the origami envelopes here!

On the move... (aka, charliegami mobile phone pictures)

I usually try to take 'decent' photos of my origami for the purpose of this Blog, however, I often make origami on the go (especially on trains) and take a quick snap on my mobile phone instead! Here is a little compilation of some picture of my creations which I've snapped on my mobile phone!
