When I use to create these as a kid, I made the origami pieces with regular notebook paper but sometimes cheated with some scotch tape or glue. However, this particular sail boat could never be made from one sheet of paper, it's made up of several sheets and then drawn on. There are many different ways to create an origami whale, this is just one and the eyes are drawn in. The bubbles are just paper cutouts. Here is a close up link - http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/7206/origamiwhalescloseupjv2.gif - On a nother note, this piece also has a message. Although whaling is not permitted in many countries, there are still many others that still hunt these beautiful creatures. This practice must end, it is not necessary in our modern world.

Very smart, I really like this shirt and I hope it is a design you are able to buy. This is quite ingenius, reminds me of my origami days. *sigh* [My Score:] 4$

Wow the paper detail on this shirt is awesome. I love the wales

Amazing. I think its very original. And I love the concept. I would totally wear it.

This is definately not something you see very often. Very different with the paper folding-ness. I like it. (:

different...kind blue

love it, i hope it gets printed

very nice, i love the paper concept but i think the boat placement might be a little too high. my personal opinion. still great. i'd buy it.

Love it!

i think either just the boat, or just the whales would be awesome. very nice idea and execution.

way too cliche for my liking. Stop with the lined paper.

awesome
