Lots of new technique videos

After a recording and editing marathon, I've added lots of new technique videos. They include tessellation techniques, as well as two videos on how to prepare origami paper. A video showing some of the tessellations I folded will be up in the next 2 hours or so.

And here they are:
How to fold a triangle grid
How to form a triangle twist
How to form a 120 degree pleat intersection

I'm designing!

I'm a member of the origami forum at http://snkhan.co.uk/..., and they pose a design challenge every month. This month (August 2009) the challenge was to submit a new design that (1) only needs up to 30 folds to be completed and (2) is inspired by a super complex model. I've never designed before, but the challenge did tempt me.
Eagle by Sara AdamsThe result is my first own creation. It's an eagle that was inspired by Hung Cuong Nguyen's eagle (2008). I finished diagramming the model just now, and have made it available in the diagrams section.
