The Origami Forum

The Leaf was published in Quadrato Magico 95

Oh my! I'll look forward to this.

I do hope they fix the quality of their bookbinding.

I have Origami Insects II and Works of Kamiya.
My Origami Insects II book is falling apart.
My Works of Kamiya is starting to follow suit.

I just folded the Maple Leaf, for those interested in the front...

Fourth model: Golden Retriever.
It seems Origami House is revealing one model every day. Maybe even in chronological order.
I guess the Cocker Spaniel is next.

By now we hav confirmed:
- Maple Leaf
- Golden Retriever
- Minotaur
- Phoenix

i'm happy with the models so far, actually. this books gonna be good.

The strange thing is Kamiya's Maple Leaf doesn't look anything like the real leaf; it misses 2 points!
So it is maybe a normal Maple Leaf?

They can be 5, but I'm not going to defend the model selection. It seems silly to be included next to the (mostly theoretical) others.

There is a chance the Spaniel is not in the book since it already was published in Super Complex Origami some years ago...

Update: the Phoenix has 283 steps!

We now have:
- Japanese Maple Leaf
- Golden Retriever
- Asian Elephant
- Raccoon Dog (new, only taught in class)
- Tree Frog (new, only taught in class)
- Styracosaurus (new)
- Minotaur
- Phoenix (new)

Merman, how do you know about the Tree Frog and the Styracosaurus?

Yea dude where did you get that info? The Facebook from O-House only has the Raccoon Dog as today's announcement.
