Thanks. Is simple wrapping paper, in Mexico we generally use it to wrap "tacos" je.

Ah, if only there was such good wrapping paper in the US. I guess I will have to settle for other paper, but that taco wrapping paper looks really nice!

I developed this model as a response to a challenge to fold a
rotating tesseract

Here is the reference to show what a rotating tesseract is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

Well, I am NOT quite there yet but here is my start –

The first part of the video is in real time. The action is slow and clumsy but
demonstrates that the action is the result of design and physical motion not
just a video trick.

The second part demonstrates the potential of the design to solve the
“TESSERACT” problem. It is stop motion. I need to make the connecting sides
telescoping (just like the frames) but I think the solution is possible.

As with all my models I use folded squares or rectangles without any adhesives
and no cutting of the rectangles !

When I finish some other projects (namely my Ultimate Origami Puzzle) I will try
to make a more complete Tesseract model.

The most scary nonetheless most elegant and realistic Mosquito that i have ever seen, kind of prehistoric look a like

P.S Is there any chance that this model will be diagrammed and published
sometime?

Great! That is just about the only origami mosquito I've ever seen.

American Alligator designed by Michael G. LaFosse From Origami Art - around 70*70 Handmade Paper, treaded with methyl cellulose, Its better than my first try

This time I tried using 256*256 instead of 128*128 instructed. My paper started to wrinkle on the edge , so claw & teeth part weren't detailed. If I "ever" wanted to try this model again , I would use a larger sheet of paper to shape this model more detailed.

A Comparson with my first alligator:

ps. two alligators are of same size of paper & color, one of them is greener cuz its still wet(or damped)
