My Hobby is.... Papercraft!

This was my very first papercraft, 5 years ago. I made it for one of my students as the trophy for beating me in Smash Brothers. He played Toon Link against my Marth.

My first Papercraft template from Etsy. I made 2 of these for a couples Halloween costume where we went as Cultists. Spray painted them gold with black slashes across the eyes.

Fox in progress.

I made this little guy for my partner, Fox. :)

Space rabbit I made for a co-worker. I give away a lot of my builds, since if I held on to them I would quickly run out of room.

Octopus spray painting in progress! I wanted to gradient from the red body into the orange tips of the tentacles.

Octopus assembly in progress. Bonus cat demanding attention.

Octopus finished! I love how this one came out, and its the only one I've made for myself.

Climbing cat I made for my sister-in-law, who fosters and rehabilitates cats.

Dragon head I made for a graduating student of mine.

Giraffe head for another co-worker.

I made another Dragon head for a close friend, using textured cardstock and spraying on gold with a stencil I cut. I love the way it turned out.

Dragon head in progress.

Finished! Personally, I still think this project is my best work to date. I love how it was reflected in the countertop here.

Stitch head for a co-worker secret santa!

Another co-worker project. (Man, I gave a lot of these away at work) Dude was almost 7 feet tall and frequently dressed as Darth Vader for the kids.

Large penguin I made for another co-worker. I tried the stencil again with silver this time. I don't think this one came out as well.

For my brother-in-law, Grogu! (He has an Imgur account and is on here a lot. Maybe he'll see this?)

Trio of animals - Crow, Pig, and Cat. Each one was given to my team at work, representing their favorite animals.

So that's my favorite hobby. I've got quite a few others, including the spray paint stenciling included above, but Paper crafting has to be my favorite. I heartily recommend it to people looking for a craft, as it is both relaxing and rewarding.
