Two can Toucan

Here are some more birds for your fancy....

Both of them used designs by John Montroll in the book "Teach Yourself Origami". The canary uses a double blitz base, and the toucan uses the fish base and several sinks. Both are adorable!

Beary easy Bear

Here is a design for an origami bear that I found. It's an intermediate model; not too easy, nor too hard.

Success!!!

My triumphant (though terrifyingly tricky) Tarantula:

After almost a week of working on this, the tarantula by Robert J. Lang is finished!
It is by far the most difficult piece I have made up until now. Again, if you want to try it, the link is on the right.

...And the Queer

Just in time for Halloween, I made a three-headed crane. The design was based off that for a six-sided square (a square with extra paper) and each flap was folded as needed to form the two wings, tail, and three heads.
It was designed by Jun Maekawa.

Robert J. Lang: Origami Extrodinaire

Robert J. Lang is a pioneer in everything origami. He has designed and folded over 500 models over the past 40 years, written numerous books and articles on his designs, and given many lectures all over the world about the intersections between math and art in this art form.
The link to his website is on the right under "Origami Links"

Here are just a few of his impressive models:

Tarantula Trouble

I am in the middle of folding THIS monstrosity here, to great difficulty. If anyone can complete it (besides the person on the tutorial of course), I would be most impressed. The link to the tutorial is on the right under origami links.

This model was designed by Robert J. Lang.

Note: Tissue foil is recommended, as the complexity of the folds makes the paper become quite thick in places using normal origami paper.

Can you Camel?

The most interesting part of making this camel (which I call "Molly") is the diagonal sink in the middle to make the humps and the depression between them. There is also an arbitrary fold (meaning you are not folding to a specific point) in the first step, which gives Molly her proportions.

This design was published in "Teach yourself Origami" by John Montroll.
