Proposal part six: 7 swans -a- swimming

For Seven swans -a- swimming, I made origami swans. They were easy once I decided on how to make them, But I tried and discarded 3 patterns before I found one I liked. And then I modified that one a bit.

They are made of gold foil paper, inside out. The gold peaks out in a couple of places, and I love it that they are secretly fancy.

Erik had gone out for a bike ride that afternoon, and popped a tire on his bike. He came back early, tired and grubby. So it was nice to have a little box of these to welcome him home with.
