Holy freakin' random noun, this is awesome. You're awesome. If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind making some instructions?

man, do you make these up as you go, or are you adapting from previous items? This looks AMAZING!

Thanks, everyone!

@Migrant: She's new. It didn't occur to me to adapt; I might've been able to, but I did her body first and the other Lucy's head would've been too big.

@Anon: That's very flattering, but doing step by step instructions would probably be impossible with what I'm currently working with (a cell phone camera) and since Lucy belongs to Taeshi, I wouldn't really be comfortable doing that anyway. If you like, I can pull back the magician's curtain to give you a better idea of how to do it. Prepare to be unimpressed:

On this Lucy, only the head is origami (hence the difference in tags). I happen to have gotten that particular pattern out of a book, but you can probably find the instructions with google.

The body and limbs I simply drew, cut out and taped together so they would appear in three dimensions.

The ribbon is three small, rectangular pieces of pink paper stuck together and folded in a few simple ways to better resemble a bow.

It's more like a 3rd grade crafts project than a work of art, but it makes me very glad to be getting such encouraging feedback.

That doesn't sound too simple, and the way it turned out is AMAZING.
