What have you folded lately?

I folded a test in 17-inch foil of a new goldfish design. I was pretty pleased that I was able to get the three pairs of body fins, plus the dorsal and a long double tail. It also has round eyes (more or less), nostrils, and gills. The nostrils could easily be turned into whiskers/barbels for an even fancier version. My goal here was to create a highly stylized goldfish that retains all the anatomical bits and bobs.

I'll be folding this with better paper soon... would anyone be interested in photo diagrams?

It's a very flowing model.

One more (sorry for double-ish post):
Grasshopper, result of some doodling with the base for the goldfish. 6-inch tissue foil.

Hi
I have been doing origami since I was 10. This is my very first design:

This is a Nepenthes (carnivorous plant).

These things are known to have rats in them.
That's my guess
