| Text | This fish opens and closes its mouth while searching for its breath... in the air. Surprising, right? 1. Prepare a fish base. Hold it horizontally, the long ends to the right. We obtain a kite shape. A slit starting from the left apex divides the left point into two identical half points. On the right are two triangular flaps, each shared by a horizontal slot arriving at the right top of the shape. 2. Make an oblique valley fold by bringing, from left to right and downward, the left vertex of the upper half-point to the lower vertex of the base of the fish. Mark well. Unfold. The bottom side of the half point comes along the vertical valley fold that extends from the bottom apex of the fish base. The top apex comes over the slot that runs along the long straight point. 3. Make an oblique valley fold by bringing, from left to right and upwards, the left vertex of the lower half-point on the upper vertex of the base of the fish. Mark well. Unfold. The bottom side of the half point comes along the vertical valley fold that extends from the bottom apex of the fish base. The top apex comes over the slot that runs along the long straight point. 4. Bring the upper right flap of the base back until it is flat by rotating it from right to left around the vertical valley fold going from the upper vertex to the lower vertex. We obtain the diamond base. Smooth side. 5. Flip the fold from right to left. We obtain the other side of the diamond base, with two small triangular flaps oriented to the right. 6. Turn the fold to put it in a vertical position, the two small points facing down. 7. Open the bottom of the fold completely so that the two lower flaps are flat. The two small points disappear, and we obtain a kite shape, the point elongated upwards. This shape has, in the upper part, two triangular flaps separated by a vertical slot starting from the upper vertex. 8. Flip the fold from right to left. We are on the smooth side of the kite. Towards the middle of this shape we can feel a horizontal valley fold. 9. Bring, using a valley fold from bottom to top, the lower point on the upper point. Simply use the horizontal valley fold located in the middle of the kite. We obtain a pentagonal shape, with a single-thickness point towards the top. At the bottom, there are two four-sided flaps. For each flap, only two sides are free, which meet at a vertex located on the mountain fold which descends from the summit of the upper point. Two of the free sides form a horizontal line cut in the middle by a vertical slot carrying the other two free sides. 10. Bring, by a valley fold from top to bottom, the upper point on the midpoint of the horizontal line formed by two of the free sides of the two lower flaps. This midpoint is easy to locate, since it is the intersection of the horizontal line and the slit which cuts it in the middle. This movement will reveal, at the back of the fold, a sharp point which protrudes well. 11. Flip the fold from right to left. We obtain a shape composed of a 6-sided rear flap and a triangular front flap, carrying a vertical slot starting from its upper vertex. The lower hinge fold is separated into two parts by this slot. 12. Using an oblique valley fold from left to right and from bottom to top and starting from the middle of the lower hinge fold, bring the left half of the hinge fold along the vertical slit. Mark well. Unfold. 13. Using an oblique valley fold from right to left and bottom to top and starting from the middle of the lower hinge fold, bring the right half of the hinge fold along the vertical slit. Mark well. Unfold. 14. By placing a finger between the upper flap and the lower flap, on the left part of the form, at the height of the arrival of the oblique fold made in step 12, push the upper flap towards the right while rotating it along the vertical slot until it lies flat. You must let the hidden flap come forward, without folding it. We obtain a sharp vertical point carrying, towards the left, an upper flap with four sides of which only the lower left vertex is free. This flap forms a sort of pocket. 15. Blocking the bottom of the acute point with one hand, begin to rotate the lower apex of the upper flap from left to right, so as to bring this apex onto the lower right point of the acute point. Flatten everything well, breaking the edge which forms at the top of the flap during rotation. At the bottom of the resulting complex shape is a triangular flap starting from the middle of the shape and going to the right. This will be part of the future caudal fin. 16. Flip the triangular flap inwards, so that it protrudes to the bottom left of the shape. The left part of the fold forms a pocket. 17. Using a rotational movement from right to left around the vertical axis of the fold, slide the left top of the upper flap of the sharp point inside the left pocket. |
