There was a square of 12,5cm of Satogami left from the squirrel so I refolded my all time favorite model. I really don't know how often I already folded this model...
I hope you like it :)

The cranes are a model of Roman Diaz, folded from a 33 x 33 cm sheet of sketch paper. The pine tree is made of three long sheets of the same paper, wet-folded.
Designed and folded: Nov. 2010

Princess Zelda from the Zelda video-game series. With the triforce! The original model may look simple, but all of the little details and ornaments make it really difficult to re-design. I simplified a lot of them.

I'm teaching a course in Berlin this July, drawing on the paper folding exercises taught at the Bauhaus by Josef Albers as part of his preliminary course. To that end, I've been reverse-engineering all of the examples I've been able to find from historical documentation.
This model is from a family of simple cone shapes - made from varying numbers of alternating cuts, expanding outwards in rings. Alternating the number of cuts, the distances of them, the space between rings - all makes big changes in the geometry of the final piece. A fascinating family of structures to study!
This one was pretty challenging to assemble - I refined the unit dimensions since N8 and, while the fit is better, it became a bit difficult to push the long frames all the way through. However, the end result is an even more secure model. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this model may be the most number of Intersecting polygons resulting in a closed symmetric figure made from paper. Others have a greater number of frames or more complicated shapes, but I haven't found a model with more than 48 polygons. Folded from Cordennon's Stardream.

From a 90 x 33 cm sheet of sketch paper. Final model is 25 cm high.
Folded for the Star Wars exhibition in Zaragoza. The base is a simpler version of Sun Wukong: the paper goes through the ears, head, arms, torso and legs. The tricky part was to integrate the head into the box-pleated body.
I keep seeing posts of Katsuta Kyohei's beautiful fennec fox on the internet recently and decided to revisit the one inspired by Ronald Koh's rat which I had left untouched for the longest time. Will probably make a couple of minor tweaks and shape this a little better.

I went crazy with Iimoris again ^-^ All out of the beautiful paper by Julia
Schönhuber. This one is Winter Galaxy türkis.
Folded around 60 till today and I decided to upload them... once a day (I
try to manage that ^-^)
There are four different outer shape...
- Iimori Flower
- Iimori Star
- Iimori Astra
- Iimori Anthos
...and 8 different center parts I like to use (A-F, I, M)
A Camelia Center
B Simple Flower
C Double Flower
D Diagonal Star
E Snowflake
F Fun (3D)
I Snowflake Inverse
M Mieko
There are many more variations, but these are my favorites.
A recent fold of my Two-in-One Flower Tessellation (model description at flic.kr/p/Kb2dWr). Even though there is only one kind of molecule in this model, depending on which point you treat as the flower's center, you can see two different kinds of flowers in the pattern.
Model folded from John Gerard's handmade paper (abaca with cotton).
Happy Easter!

不切正方形一枚折り
Link from the Zelda video-game series. Complete with the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield. I tried to put as much details as possible, with the sword harness and belt pouch, but I still had to simplify the model quite a lot, especially around the collar, belt, and without the details of the shield.
Folded from a 33 x 115 cm sheet of sketch paper.
From a double-sided 16 x 414 cm kraft sheet.
Folded for the JOAS 2014 competition, celebrating the year of the snake (2013). I wanted to experiment on the snake scales, without using the snake-scales pattern. The paper starts from the head, then turns 90° to shape a wing, then the other, and finally turns back of 90° to form the tail.
Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec deity. As a human, he is a wise and benevolent king, who invented the foundations of the Aztec culture. His animal form was the feathered serpent, a chimera between a snake's body and the feathers of the quetzal bird.
This one is about 10 cm in final size, one of the smallest ones I've done, in respect to the complexity :)
I don't like tiny origami, but this one is sooo pretty...

Opus T-56
I've cut the borders, though you can expand the same idea around new hexagons. The overall corrugation will tend to be a bit convex, but not much...
Opus T-16.1
This monument to the origami Pajarita advertises EMOZ, one of the few origami museums in the world. Both the monument and the museum are located in Zaragoza, Spain, and we had the opportunity to pay a long visit there during CfC conference. It's great to see such a large collection of models in one place, available all the time and to everyone, rather than just for a short time during a convention. There is a permanent part of the exhibition, dedicated to the history of origami, and a larger temporary exhibition, currently “The expresion of geometry, origami mix of media” by Saadya Sternberg, Ilan Garibi and Ynon Toledano. The monument is made of metal and represents the folded structure of the model quite precisely, but for practical reasons, it is welded from several flat sheets of metal rather than actually folded.
I've just received the copy of Tanteidan 22 convention book. There's a diagram of my Secret Flower model there. With the pictures made by Tanya Turova flic.kr/p/e1MYwT
For those who don't have Tanteidan 22 book, you can find the same diagram in my "Modular Origami Kaleidoscope" book. www.amazon.com/dp/0997311940

Folded from a 33 x 103 cm uncut sheet of sketch paper.
I originally wanted to do a full cheetah in box-pleating, but I was never satisfied with the lack of details of the head. I then decided to experiment on the head alone, and it proved more of a challenge than expected!
The model is almost fully based on box-pleating. The eyes are inspired by the way Daniel Chang makes the eyes of his masks.
I wanted the model to be viewable from any angle, so a liberal amount of glue has been used to close it up, instead of hiding the locks and leaving a dead view angle.
When I was designing my Stegosaurus stenops, one of the innumerable iterations I created in that process was something like this model. At the time I thought the base was too similar to Ryan MacDonell and John Montroll's Stegosaurus models, and I didn't pursue this version of the model any further. Looking back, it's different enough to warrant dusting it off and giving it a final folding sequence.
To contrast it with my other Stegosaurus model, I've purposefully based this on outdated reconstructions of the creature, with arching backs and dragging tails.
Folded for this month's challenge, "alien life forms".

If you're familiar with the book Communion by Whitley Strieber (or even just it's very famous cover) you'll no doubt notice that I attempted to emulate the composition and coloration of the dust jacket art. I also ran the image through the Prisma app to give it a more painterly look.
The model is folded from a 7" square of lizard skin embossed paper, using the reverse side of the paper to represent the pale, flesh tone of the face and the shiny, black side to represent the eyes.
Though my depiction of a Visitor strays slightly from the one on the cover, it does so purposefully. I've attempted to to capture a few nuances and associations made in Communion and it's followups (sequels?) that aren't evident from the cover art alone.
The shape of the face and it's features are meant to be evocative of animals such as owls, mantises, and lizards. The texture of the skin is meant to imply wrinkles and age, as well as further reinforce the association with lizards. The shiny, bubble-like texture on the eyes also reinforces associations with the compound eyes of insects.
My new cat design. Modified from the standing version.
Designed and folded by Gen Hagiwara
From 40cm uncut square paper.
A bit modified version of Wobasute (you may pronounce it "Overstay" :-)
'Wobaste' is kind of a ghost story, whose theme is a loneliness in the old age of woman.
The figure is intended to represent the spiritual being that appeared in a deep forest on a mountain on a moonlight night.
The motif:
我がこころ なぐさめかねつ 更級や 姨捨山に照る月を見て
( I cannot suppress my feeling of loneliness
seeing the moon shining over Mt. Wobasute in Sarashina. )
Designed: September 2014.
Folded: February 2015.
