Looking for the cutest origami summer craft ever? I recently signed my son up for swimming lessons and realized... oof! Summer is right around the corner! That means that it's time for... summer crafts! Woo hoo! And what better way to inspire some summer crafting.. then this uber cute origami mermaid? Yup. Put this craft on your summer-to-do list! It's a must for all mermaid-loving kiddos! How to Fold an Origami Mermaid! This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support! Full disclaimer: I love making cute origami projects. However, I am an origami newbie and I don't design my own projects. Today's tutorial was inspired by one I found on a Japanese website. (Which by the way.. I can't find the website right now. But when I find the link, I will be sure to put it up here!) The directions were all in Japanese and slightly more complicated. I cut out a lot of the extra folds for this simpler version! Materials Needed to make this Origami Mermaid: To make this origami mermaid, you'll need: Sharpie Markers Scissors Origami Paper Tape Note: I am an origami newbie, so yes, I use scissors and tape. But, I still consider this an origami project because we are mostly folding paper to create this mermaid! Part 1: How to Fold the Mermaid's Face Step 1: Grab a piece of skin colored paper. Place the white side up. Fold your paper in half one way and unfold. Then, fold it in half the other way and unfold. Step 2: Now flip the paper over so that the paper is brown/peach side up. (Mine doesn't look brown because of the bad lighting. Sorry! But it's brown.) Now fold the paper in half diagonally. Step 3: 3a. Now open up your fold and flip the paper back so the white side is up. 3b. and 3c. Your paper now has crease marks so that when it is pressed on both sides and flattened... it should close up to look like a square. (Super cool, right?) Step 4: 4a. Fold back the two top sides. 4b. Fold up the two back sides. (Now you have ears.) Fold the bottom back and you'll have a chin. 4c. Grab your Sharpie and draw on a face. (Leave the top portion of your head pointy so that it can fit into your hair.) Congrats! You've got a face! Let's make that mermaid's body! Part 2: How to Fold the Mermaid's Body Step 1: Grab a piece of skin colored paper. Place the paper white side up. Then, fold the paper in half one way and unfold. Then, fold it in half the other way and unfold. Step 2: Fold up one side so that it meets one of your middle folds. Step 3: Not Shown- Unfold your fold from step 2 to completely open up your paper. (We did the previous folds so that it will be easier to fold along certain lines later on.) Step 4: Now fold the left and right sides of your origami paper in so that they meet the middle. Step 5: (Time to create arms.) 5a and 5b. Push upwards on the bottom creased portion of your paper to create a vertical opening. (I know this sounds weird. The pictures hopefully explain what to do better.) 5c. Press down to create arms. Step 6: (Time to slim down the body.) 6a. Slightly fold back one side. 6b. Now fold that side back the other way. (Kind of like a small accordion fold) 6c. Do the same two folds to the other side of your body. 6d. Flip over your body. It should look like this. Congrats! You have a mermaid's body! Now let's fold a mermaid tail! Part 3: How to Fold the Mermaid's Tail Step 1: 1a. Grab a piece of green paper. Place the paper white side up. Fold the right side over, leaving about a third uncovered. 1b. Fold the left side over so that the sides match. 1c. Fold the top corner down. 1d. Slip your top corner behind the other pieces. Step 2: 2a. Fold the bottom tip upwards. 2b. Now fold the tip downwards. 2c. Flip your tail over to the front. Grab a pair of scissors and cut along the fold to create two fins. 2d. This is what your fins will look like! Step 3: Slide your body into your tail. Fold the two two corners of your tail back so that your mermaid body fits snuggly in place. (Add tape!) This is what it will look like from the front. (Ack! She's naked!) Now let's make some hair. Grab another piece of paper and fashion yourself a hair piece. (The bangs allow you to slip in the pointed part of the face.) See? Tape the head in there. Tape all your body parts together. Add more details with Sharpie marker. Congratulations! You've got yourself an origami mermaid! Grab your mermaid tails and flippers and I hope you enjoy making this origami craft with the kiddos!

Walmor Corrêa is a Brazilian artist whose work has appeared in exhibitions in his native Brazil as well as Spain, Belgium, Germany, Uruguay, Ecuador, Austria, Chile, Argentina, the United States, and South Africa. In two series of artworks, “Super-Heróis” (2005) and “Memento Mori” (2007), Corrêa endeavored to capture some ideas about the anatomy of superheroes and other figures of myth, including a cyclops (“Curupira”), a mermaid (“Ondina”), and Marvel’s Spider-Man. His art is done somewhat in the style of Leonardo da Vinci but also are reminiscent of the incredible images in the Codex Seraphinianus, which, if you haven’t read it, is utterly astonishing. “Memento Mori” was actually published as a book. However, to his credit Corrêa’s work doesn’t seem derivative of either of those sources, just somewhere in the same corner of a strange universe. Any anatomical studies, even cryptozoological ones, have a whiff of the NSFW about them, and these are no exception.

Mia Bergeron is a figurative painter originally from New York City, but now resides in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Bergeron studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, but left to pursue a more traditional education at the Charles H. Cecil Studio in Florence, Italy. Technically, Bergeron is interested in combining her training as an academic portrait artist with her roots of living in New York in the 80’s and being exposed to Expressionism and Modernism. She was named one of the "Top 20 artists under 30 to be collected now" by Southwest Art Magazine in 2009, as well as many other awards. Currently she is working on a series of large-scale paintings for a hotel opening in London in 2019. Bergeron's hope is to convey a sense of wonder, fragility, and sacredness in what she finds all around her.
Does Aquatic Ape Theory explain how mermaids really exist? Maybe, but real-life mermaids might not be quite what you were expecting.

Have you ever seen these illustrations? Both are from Julia Ellsworth Ford's Imagina, a story for children incorporating three poems, with two beautiful color illustrations by Arthur Rackham, and many line drawings executed by Julia's daughter, Lauren Ford. Imagina was published in 1914 by Duffield and Company (New York). Earlier this evening is the first time I've ever seen these images. Click on the title link to see all of the illustrations in their original context. Click the images posted here to view them in great detail. Coming Soon: More Surprising Images from Arthur Rackham. Arthur Rackham ~ 1914 Imagina by Julia Ellsworth Ford New York: Duffield & Company "Please, Mermaid, come out where it is sunny." Arthur Rackham ~ 1914 Imagina by Julia Ellsworth Ford New York: Duffield & Company Frontispiece ~ Faerie Folk I almost, almost think I've seen the bottom image before, but there is so much majesty in the tree and the confidence in the fairy who must be queen, I'm sure it's evoking other wonderful Rackham images. I love the moon in the background, and the subtlety of the color in the nightime scene. The quality of sunlight filtering through the water, the shimmer of the mermaid's hair, and Rackham's ability to portray their strength and bouyancy, their individuality, and their pure joy as they swim, unstung and free with the jellyfish, makes this one of my favorite Rackham mermaid paintings. I also enjoy it because it seems he must have had a lot of fun painting it, employing his expert skills with watercolor, while accepting any imperfections as lending to the freedom of the composition, which I find to be perfectly balanced in shape, color, tone, and movement. Welcome, new and old followers. Please leave your comments. Note: I've discovered why these images are familiar/not familiar to me. My friend, Thom, at The Pictorial Arts, posted them last June in a post titled Delicious. I even commented on them, so you know that I both love them, and I stayed up entirely too late last night. It is very difficult for me to find an image Thom does not know about. Visit The Pictorial Arts for an amazing archive of golden age illustration and comic book art, with lively dialogue in the comments from artists, illustrators and fans.
