Hello,
My sister wants an Origami fairy and I don't have one in the books I own, so does anyone know of a fairy on the net? Preferebly a 3D model. Thanks.
Jerry

Not available online, but Yoshihisa Kimura has a great two-piece one, and Fernando Gilgado has a one-piece color-changed fairy (hada) in Papiroflexia Magica. Dave Brill also has one. Check the origami database for these. I can't remember which books they were in.
Alternatively you could take a nice butterfly, like Yoshizawa's simple one on origami-usa.org, or Jason Ku's Luna moth and attach it to the back of a nice human figure.

Hi. I designed and diagrammed a fairy quite a long time ago. I will put a photo up here and then diagrams IF anyone is interested. Don't worry, I won't be offended if nobody likes it, I don't think it's great.

The second one looks really good, but it could use larger wings. Looks much better than my old attempt at a fairy.
No one says no to diagrams
Of course we'd like to see them.

Yeah, the first one is diagrammed.
Designed in 1999, so don't expect too much. Hopefully you can make sence of the diagrams!

Dave, how nice! Didn't know you have a website.
It will last a while until I've read all the articles...

Mmm. Emberjelly, I'll have to check my diagrams, the colours at the beginning may be wrong. Sorry about this, but as I said, this is such an old model and I haven't looked at it in years!
If it's wrong, I'll fix it soon.

Yip, you were right. I screwed up the colours in the first two pages. Here are the correct diagrams (page 1 and 2)
Sorry about that!
Quentin
