To me, the challenge in

designing a bird lies in the

claws. A flying bird adds the

extra challenge of outspread

wings.

I decided on book-symmetry

for the strip grafts that would

form the claws. This ensures

minimal layers to form the

claws and nails, so it is not

dependent on special thin

paper for a good result. Even

80-100gsm paper will work

for this model.

The design came relatively

easy. The difficult part was to

diagram the collapsing

sequence of the base in a

logical manner.

Steps 14 to 20 show how to

divide into thirds. Do not be

scared off by the closed

unsink in steps 40 to 41, they

are easier than they look.

The Common Raven can be

posed in different positions,

but I like the “pecking”

position, as it seems that the

ravens are always pecking (or

stealing!) something off the

ground.

There are no landmarks for

steps 84 to 87, so use your

own initiative here.

Shape the wings in step 87 to

lie over each other and to

hide the open layers of the

body and tail.
