A 4-piece modular by David Mitchell, reverse-engineered from this photo, from the 2009 MFPP convention. Anybody know the name of the model?

Of course it's really easy... but there aren't diagrams, so it still counts

And it's a cool model anyway.

Ahudson, i went to the site of the CP for the bunny to fold it,and a thing for google said. "Are you sure you want to visit this page? this site has been flagged for malicious content learn more at" and then there was a website

Yes, it seems that somebody was using dropbox to spread malware, so Google blacklisted parts of the website. I've changed the url to a different subdomain and it seems to be working for now, but if there continue to be problems, I'll switch to a different filehosting service.

I'm interested in seeing if this is foldable:

Its a porcelain reindeer ornament which is supposed to be from an origami model, which I recently received as a gift. I tried looking for the original model, but haven't found anything like it. This looks like it has some similar qualities, but the author is listen as unknown.
Looking through these porcelain origami ornaments, I can't help but wonder how many are used with permission. I saw Jun Maekawa's Sitting Deer and Marc Kirschenbaum's Reindeer.

Looks like this is a multi-piece model to me; there aren't enough layers showing, especially given the length of the legs and complexity of the horns.

To answer your question:

Yes it is foldable. (even if it's multipiece)

Yes, this looks foldable, but no, it doesn't look as if it a single square (or rectangle)

Looking at the layers of... ..porcelain... ther just don't seem to be enough external creases. It looks to me as if the back legs would come from a seperate sheet. The front half looks pretty foldable (out of one sheet) to me, though...

to me, it has the rather distinctive look of an animal made from two bird bases glued together that kasahara and honda made a lot of in their books, creative origami and joy of origami, respecively. i further suspect the horns were cut to achieve that effect, mostly because both employed cuts in those books.

i'm almost certain that first deer you linked is in creative origami.
