What have you folded lately?

Thanks for "what is it" hints.

cedison, it is great work on tesselation! And hard, long...

model: Mask of ape
author: Kasumi Seishi
paper size: 20 cm square

This model is very ugly due to many many creases. Of course, it is possible to make it without that. But this one is not folded in such way...

The tiger looks really interesting (even though it reminds me more of a domestic cat). Care to share a CP for it. Would be interesting to see how you achieved the stripes.

great works, ori_dragon3! I like the Tiger alot. Great model with cute pose and the stripes. Planning to make diagrams?

The sheep looked nice.. But the scanner doesn't do justice.
Looking forward to see more of you designs.. especially with the same style as your tiger design.

I folded this 60 sided polyhedron for my parents 60th wedding anniversary.
A Tomoko Fuse design.

Nice, sunmaid! I love Tomoko Fuse's books. Here are four I recently folded:

thanks you two! trekker, I hardly ever fold things in the style of the tiger, it's actually from a schretched bird base,so I might make a CP, but if I hand-draw it, it might be a bit unclear so daydreamer, what is the program you use and do you know any non-download diagram programs? oh, does anyone know what programe cupcake uses?

BTW: improved musk beetle CP coming soon!

I believe Cupcake uses Inkscape to draw diagrams. It is downloadable from the internet for free, but that's not what you want is it?

Okay, this is my version of the hang glider by JohnnyCakes. Of course JohnnyCakes' version is better! Maybe he'll post some more hints?

Wow, great job! That looks almost exactly like mine! Great job figuring out how to fold it with such limited instructions. There are only a couple very minor differences I see in how you folded it. I notice that you also used the thin valley folds along the glider (behind the man) to help lock it in place. Before I squashed the head, I did those valley folds on the back of the man, too. The little triangle in front of the legs is tucked in, which you did, but I also tucked the triangles on the sides of the man and folded them behind to get them out of the way. I also folded the bottom edges of the structure that attaches to the glider behind to get them out of the way. I am still amazed that you folded it so closely to mine! It is scary how similar it is

Great work!

Thanks, JohnnyCakes. I'll try those tips! Luckily with dollar bill folds, there are landmarks in the design of the bill. That helped me A LOT

This chair (folded from a 35cm square of foil paper) was actually designed before the office chair I've posted here earlier, but I didn't fold it properly until today.

There are still a lot of unnecessary creases which could be removed but I was lazy and just precreased the whole grid.

The CP for both this chair and for the office chair can be found on the Origami Austria homepage.
