UPDATED!

One nice feature of online content is that it can change and expand. Since posting our crease pattern article for Toshikazu Kawasaki's Dragon in Parque Güell, The Fold has received a number of comments related to additional instructions on how to make this dragon. Kawasaki has kindly given The Fold permission to publish diagrams for this model drawn by OrigamiUSA member Marc Sky. Additionally, OrigamiUSA member Mari Michaelis received permission to create a video tutorial on how to fold a Kawasaki lizard model very similar to this dragon, having two toes on each leg instead of three. We hope you that you will find these new resources useful, and we encourage members to contribute any content that might be able to expand our articles in the future!
