A gift for your dentist.

When I saw a class offering of a tooth origami Origami USA 2011 Convention in New York, I jumped at the opportunity to learn an excellent model with one I could give to my dentist as a gift.

This origami tooth is the creation of Marc Kirschenbaum. Marc is a prolific origami designer and author of the book who shares his work on his website Marc Kirschenbaum Origami, and who generously granted me permission to show the folding of this model in the following video.

I like the sequence of folding of the tooth because of its pleasing symmetry and the potential for the manufacture of changes leading to the creation of other models. For example, when turned upside down, I imagine folding in a basket or container.

An origami tooth I've folded Stardream ® paper ivory colour is now sitting on a shelf in the studio waiting for my next dental appointment. I will tell you how my dentist reacts. At least, I hope that it gives me a big smile!

If you give your dentist tooth origami, share with us their reaction!
