Grafting technique
| designed this Eastem Dragon by adding craws to my previous
design. This technique is a kind of preparation explained in
Three-headed Crane.
‘The gray area in the crease pattern shown on the right indicates
the grafted part. | added a “gusset” while leaving the original
crease pattern intact
Asa side effect of adding the craws, | also oblained a longer
boay.
Note that an area can be grafted not only along the sides of the
‘square, as in this model, but also in different parts.
You can divide an existing crease pattem and insert a gusset
between them. Devilis an example, where fingers are grafted
into the original model.
