Chris Palmer appreciation thread
I frequently visit music forums and threads like this in which a specific artist is praised, are very common so I thought of starting this one about one of my all time favorite origami creators, Chris Palmer, so here are some of his models that I've folded. Feel free to post your Chris Palmer renditions.

I am certainly am a big fan of Palmer, and am very appreciative of the contributions he's made to the tessellation field. Thanks for starting this thread!

Yeah...I sort of found it by accident, I borrowed the magazine from the BOS library at the 40th convention to fold the Flying Eupatorus gracilicornis by Robert Lang. That didn't turn out too well but i managed to fold the king polypouch.
It's great to see what other Chris Palmer designs people have folded, thanks for starting this topic.

He hasn't published any books, just some Cd's with video instructions and geometric origami would never be as popular as figurative origami, so many people will never hear of him.
Most of his designs are complex geometric stuff like boxes with amazing decorations and flowers with intricate twists. He's also done some amazing tessellation work even with cloth instead of paper.
