Make sure to start the video and wait for the light.
Be gentle with your comments - this is my first video on Flickr.

Polar Bear
With colour-changes (black) nose, eyes and nails (5 toes each foot).
I think foil would be better as the folds were getting a bit small at the end. It's a combination of my previous Polar Bear and Black Bear, and the head was inspired some by Dr. Bernie Peytons work.

clever to say at least.
magnificient expression to me!

Yor bear models are exquisite. Brilliant work again!!
The head, do you mean from Dr. Bernie Peyton's swimming polar bear model? I saw it somewhere, but can't quite remember the look.

Thanx Araknoid and Trekker.
Trekker, check out his website at http://www.eco-origami.com. The Polar Bear head is there.

[Trekker_1983]

Wow!! He's a really dedicated origami artist, with attention to detail and display. I'm a fan now. And I like this:

Add appropriate details. Too many details can detract from the overall effect of the model, just as not enough silence in a piece of music can result in noise. Simplicity often results in a stronger aesthetic statement.

As for the bear, I thought it was this one:

Hehe.. since we can only see the head there. And I was wrong, cause it looked different from his polar bear's head.

Does anybody know a date for Peytons new book?

[Froy]

Who designed that bird?
Is it a colibri?

Nice folds, pereze

Is not the one that is in Lang's Origami Design secrets (Ruby-throated Hummingbird)? I folded it too couple weeks ago.

[pereze]

Whoops, my flickr account has all of the pictures properly labeled so I forgot to add the designer and model when I posted the pictures.

Max: The hummingbird was designed by Robert Lang and the diagrams are in Origami Design Secrets.

The sheep is by Hideo Komatsu and the diagrams are in Origami Tanteidan Magazine 105.

Froy: Yup!

I took my dice mode and unfolded the cube. I then refolded it inside-out and again added the light.

Here is the inside pattern folded outside the cube:



To see this cube with light and rotated so you can see all sides here is the source for the video:

I think this might be even more interesting????

Joseph Wu's Baby elephant is here:

I love it! Excellently done.

Two questions: How did you fold it? (Joseph Wu's site says that no diagrams are available.) And what kind of paper is that?

Thanks. I am folding it for several years, so it should be well folded. About diagram - actually, I do not know. I have hand-draw sketch, but I have it for several years and I do not remember, where I got it. It is very brief and it was very hard to follow it. And about paper - actually, again I do not know. This paper is from one advertisment company as a sample, it has 120 g/m2 which is better to fold this model than standard 80 g/m2.
