Mythology Papercraft - Unicorn & Pegasus

Mythology Unicorn & Pegasus PapercraftCute overload, two new mythical equine creatures from Christopher Bonnette's Macula.tv

We'll start with the Unicorn papercraft - horse with a horn




Then you have the Pegasus papercraft - horse with a wing




Mix them together and you might have a Unisus / Pegacorn papercraft - horse with wing and horn



In pop culutre terminology, any type of winged horse is called a pegasus, but this is a misnomer. You see in Greek Mythology, Pegasus is the name of the immortal winged horse that sprang from the blood of the slain Medusa, Pegasus is a Pterripus - the proper term for winged horses.

Mythology Papercraft - Leprechaun

Leprechaun PapercraftSaint Patrick's Day (aka St. Paddy's Day) is just around the corner - it's an annual feast day celebration for the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. It is held every March 17 and gives people here in the US another good reason to go drinking ^_^

Green is the theme for this day, so either wear or get something that has green on it. Some of the symbols associated with Saint Patrick's day include the shamrock (3-leafed clover), leprechauns, harps, celtic cross, etc.

And speaking of Leprechauns, macula.tv has one. The name leprechaun comes from the old Irish word "luchorpan" which means "little body." Leprechauns are a race of shoe-making elves dressed in green, who can reveal hidden treasure to those who catch it. This Leprechaun papercraft was designed by Christopher Bonnette

Cultural Papercraft - Reog Ponorogo

Reog Ponorogo PapercraftSal Azad has another amazing papercraft based on Indonesian heritage, the Rego Ponorogo is a traditional dance that has a tiger's head and a wide-winged peacock as the principal features.
Ponorogo is most well known for the reog mask dance, which is said to have been created by one of the kings of Kediri in the 12th century. The performance re-enacts a legendary battle between Pujangga Anom, a minister from the court of Ponorogo, and Singa Barong, guardian spirit of the forest of Lodoyo. The former had aroused the anger of Singa Barong when he stole 150 tigers from the forest, apparently to be offered as a dowry payment for a princess of Kediri, whom the king of Ponorogo wished to marry.
