Perhaps David Shall's Statue of Liberty? The existing video diagram could probably use an update.

Sara, I've just thought of another model, Hideo Komatsu's sheep. Its quite easy to fold, and has a very effective colour change. I folded it in about 40 mins, so you could probably explain it in under an hour.

Diagrams are in Tanteidan Magazine 105.

Hi Sara,
I would like to see Robert Lang's "Peter's snowflake" or Romanz Diaz's "Buho" or Stepehn Weiss "Owl".

Thank you

I guess I should answer to some of these requests.

Rabbit by Robert J. Lang from Origami USA Convention 1988
Or Stephen Weiss models.
But I really want more of Neil Elias models. I adore him!

Pegasus: I've got the diagrams, will have a look at how to fold the model and then think about it.
Rabbit: Hm, is that the same rabbit at in Origami Zoo (http://www.giladorigami.com/BO_Zoo.html)?
Stephen Weiss models: Will look into it.
Neil Elias models: Will look into it.

I'll have to look into Roman Diaz's work, haven't done that thus far. He has a couple of diagrams online, so that's probably going to be the easiest starting point.

I want to get the BOS booklet on Neil Elias' work, and will then definitely have to give this model a try.

I haven't folded much from CP, I fear. And if I made a video, it'd probably show the steps I guessed from looking at the CP. Printing out a CP, making creases and then collapsing - I'm not sure that's the kind of video I'd go for. Or what did you mean by "CP videos"?

Will have to have a look at his work. Reminder to myself: http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~origami/e/index.html

Hm, and which video would that be? Also, where can I find diagrams? [Origami database not working. ]

Hm, the problem with that is: How do I get hold of a Tanteidan Magazine 105? [I'm also guessing that contacting Hideo Komatsu might be a challenge.] Any pointers?

Snowflake: You're trying to convince me to make a video on a modular piece. Ah, that might be a tough one.
RD's Owl: Has this been diagrammed yet, and if so, where?
SW's Owl: The owl in Origami Zoo? (http://www.giladorigami.com/BO_Zoo.html) That'd be very doable. Simple model, and I have the book with diagrams. Plus, I've been in contact with Stephen Weiss on permission already.

That alone is good news, hope he is well - I think he's vastly underrated. His "Dog in a Doghouse" might make a very popular tutorial, particularly for those that had not yet come across it, as it is a 'sensibly perfect' model, capturing the essence of the subject.

Might I also suggest Go Guspaths Mouse, which my niece & I have greatly enjoyed folding recently from the Diagrams in Nick Robinsons "Origami for Dummies". It's super cute & locks together beautifully. A good Instructional Video (such as yours) would show inexperienced folders how to overcome the initally daunting precise 3D construction.

Whichever model you go for, we're lookng forward to seeing it.

Yes! I'm trying to convince you to make this modular in particular 'cause I love 5 tetrahedra and I don't know how to buy the BOS magazine with the diagram

I fear there's not a diagram for RD's owl

The owl in Weiss's Origami Zoo is sooo cute

Thanks for your videos and your work for origami
(and sorry for my english)

Anermak actually made full photodiagrams for that one. Here they are.

Hi Sara,
I know you will choose to fold some difficult model so that anyone who already tried it and failed would start as soon as you upload a tutorial. Personally i would like to see more modular origami like doodlebug by Yami Yamauchi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZQ51Pd227M or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MrAuq_F2dU i dunno what's it called but it looks cool. So hopefully we will see a new origami tutorial soon. Thanks

Yep, saw those before.

I would to see this one too.

Yep, I like to see the dreaming dog too. However, I heard that there is a very hard step that may be hard to show in video.

I haven't had any luck getting the diagrams for the Dreaming Dog/Cat thus far. I looked into buying the OrigamiUSA Collection 2007, but I'm not sure yet because of the shipping and not being able to pay via PayPal. I would love to buy the collection, esp. because there are several other interesting models in the collection. This is when I wish diagrams were offered as e-books more often.

I'm thinking about buying "License to Fold" (and a couple of other things from the Origami Shop). Then I'd have the diagrams for the dreaming cat. But I have to admit that I like the dreaming dog better. I'm not sure how similar the models are in their folding sequence, but I guess I can give it a go.

Re: Can't get diagrams for Dreaming Dog/Cat so far...

How can we help ? PM me privately, if more appropriate.

What about Anibal Voyer's cat? The diagrams are on the web (http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/cat_voyer.pdf), but I haven't seen many people folding it.
