Animals

Surely one of the highlights of the CDO Convention 2009 was participating in origami workshops lead by Satoshi Kamiya. He taught this rabbit, and it wasn't quite so easy to get a nice finished model - not due to the complexity of the folds, but rather because there were a lot of judgement folds you had to make. So this is a model you have to fold a couple of times to get a feeling for how to place the creases to get a rabbit-like feel in the finished model.

Any resemblance to Hello Kitty must be purely coincidental...

Paper: 29.5cm square of tissue foil, pink/white
Model: 10.5cm wide, 6.75cm high

Although I think I can still improve on the rendition of this model, I quite like my first result.
Also, I used slightly shorter paper than needed (of course intentional *cough cough*), which enabled me to make a colour-changed face. I guess the torero is angry, too!

Paper: 16cm x 45.2cm sheet of tissue foil
Model: 8cm long, 8cm high, 4cm deep

This is my first attempt at designing. I tried to create an eagle in no more than 30 folds that still captures the essence of Hung Cuong Nguyen's eagle (2008).
It is my submission to the design challenge for August 2009, which was about creating a model in up to 30 folds that imitates a highly complex model.

Paper: 20cm square
