Do you have PDFCreator?

Open it.
Import all the pictures in the order you want them.
Hit "Print" or "Export" or whatever it's called.
A new dialog box will open-type the file name in there.
Hit "Save."
After the fall, we rise.

Easiest way to put stuff like this in pdf form is to download one of the free pdf printer drivers - there are several. Then import the pictures into Microsoft Word (or your preferred word processor) and just print the document using the pdf printer driver instead of your normal printer. Done.

Hi, I have been making some tissue foil, and now I'm looking for some animal models that look nice with a colorchange. I've cut 2 squares of 35cm and 2 of 12cm of each combination.
These are the combinations I've made:
Black/ Brown
Black/ Silver
Black/ Yellow > I was hoping for a bee or a wasp
Brown/ Brown
Black/ Navy blue (for the exact color check my unicorn in my gallery
Purple/ Silver ( same combination as one of the owls in my gallery.

Please diagrammed models only, no crease patterns.

Looking forward for your recommandations!

I have a couple sheets of 10-12" (25-30cm) tissue foil, blue on one side and yellow on the other, and fairly thin as homemade TF goes. I want something fairly complex, preferably taking advantage of the color change but that's not required. I'll take suggestions for original designs for it too.

I also have two sheets of gold double tissue, quite thin, around 12"/30cm. Same requests for models (minus the color change of course).

Wow great response this time. (Last time it took me an hour to describe al the paper I made and got zero respons...)

thanks cowburger, I already found voyer's wasp. Actually already had the diagrams! I might give it try, although I saw kamiya's wasp while searching, and that one is stunning (and since it is from CP impossible for me haha). It does have a colorchange indeed. I also found a wasp by manuel sirgo that might be nice. There aren't alot of wasps btw, found like only 6 models, only three of them diagrammed, one cp others didn't even have that.

Origamigeek, thanks a lot, I mean it, even gave the links to the diagrams that's great.
After googling some of the models you suggested I think I want to make the pegasus by voyer at least and maybe the bee. There are a lot of pictures of the pegasus on google, but they vary in quality. In some the proportions are spot on, in others there seems to be something weird. I'll have to fold it to see if adjustments, have to be, and can be made.
Also found a nice ant by pjotr pluta that be good in black, although the diagram seems to miss the last page at first glance, could just be you have to do a lot of shaping. The scorpion looks great also.

I also found 'the pooper', It's great you should search it. Would be great with any colorchange using brown. When looking at the diagrams it's kind complex (for me that is). Might make that one to.

I'm glad I got a week vacation, I'll see how far I get before My girlfriend thinks she is not getting enough attention.

Thnks guys

Do you have a picture of the folded model? (Not actually sure that was directed towards me, but it does fit my criteria too).

I'll give it a shot, why not. When I'm finished, who should I attribute the design to?
