[Flame_Kurosei]

It is in Works of Satoshi Kamiya. However, it can also be found in Origami Tanteidan magazine #58.

What is the kirin? It looks like a big unicorn horse thing, but why's it called kirin? Is it also from final fantasy?

[Baltorigamist]

Kirins are Eastern unicorns, Asia (most specifically China)'s counterpart to the horned horse of Western mythology. Personally I love the model, and I think it's one of my favorite Satoshi models.

But I don't think it's in FF--it's not in that category on his site.

Anything up to 30-35 cm.
Dark red; orange (separate sheets)
Very thin
CMC'ed mulberry
High intermediate, diagrams only.

Satoshi's mammoth prignethus (or however it's spelt), or is that a bit easy?

[Alexorigami]

The Mammuthus PRIMIGENIUS would fit perfectly in the difficulty category, but I'd like to take full advantage of the model, so I'll probably paint the tusks in the end. And I think I'll do the same to the Smilodon. Thanks.

Argh! I have just been told that i have to entertain 25 6/7 yr olds by getting them to do origami! I'll only have a4 copy paper, maybe coloured. What can i show them how to make that is convincing, very easy and quite quick?
If it's sort of themed on the story of joseph and his technicolour dreamcoat- even better! No questions about what the hell i'm doing please! I will not answer them- it's a bit complicated and may breach the forum rules in places.

Jeremy shafer models are quite easy and have a nice result in the end

[Harpseal]

Are they diagrammed? I'll have a look! Thanks so much! These are kids who generally have never before folded a piece of paper.

np, he has youtube tutorials, but I have the downloaded book and can email it to you if you want

[Baltorigamist]

I wouldn't advertise that here if I were you.

Harpseal -> I think John Montroll has a pyramid in one of his books. To fit the Egypt theme.

whoops XD

[Harpseal]

Thanks for all your help, i'll try to remember to tell you how it goes- thanks so much!

I've made some tissue foil. Black-foil-black-white. So one side turned out greyish. I got 4 squares of 25cm/30cm.

Any recommendations on what to fold/ design?

[Harpseal]

Does Brian Chan's bat cowel need bigger paper? The entire batman would do, but i know that, a bit like iron man he did a version with just the head and the whole thing. Just the head might suit that paper?
Also, i've only had one of the days of doing it, but origami with small children is going quite well- i did pyramids and an invented egyptian headress.
