Thanks guys.
Yup, I had dreamed of folding this since grade 6. So quite an achievement!

Well done Bodo!

I just finished the T-Rex skeleton from Issei Yoshino, which consists of 21 square units.
While doing it I wondered if it's possible to fold it from a single square.

Et Voila! You just did it...

Here is a photo of my 3 recent models



Ryujin 3.5

Phoenix 3.5

Wasp 2.6

Western Pond Turtle by Robert J lang
Folded from 47cm sketch paper

Great food! You might try making the legs a bit thinner. Great job, though. It’s so clean!

Hi everyone. These are quick pictures I took of boxes I had folded for Christmas. Sorry for only showing them now .



Half Cube created by Tomoko Fuse

Folded from 24 caliber 56 x 56 cm (22 1/16 x 22 1/16 in) bond paper. I needed a dense paper ASAP and I only found that.

Also, Paper Boat Gift Tag created by me

Folded from something like 3 x 4 cm (1 3/16 x 1 9/16 in) two-colored paper. I can't really remember the dimensions. It's a pretty cool model. It works like this: https://i.giphy.com/media/3oFzmdoRC2xK12DTTa/source.gif



Curved Box with Blades (more slanted version) created by me

Folded from what's locally called "arte" paper of 20 x 20 cm (7 7/8 x 7 7/8 in).

I've always wanted to fold a sea turtle after seeing this amazing turtle by Kei Watanabe. Suprisingly, adding the scales on was one of the easier parts - I just had to make sure to leave enough paper at the top create transitions from pleats ryujin-style. The hard part was transitioning from the shell (which was the first part I designed) to the rest of the model. There are still some things I'd like to improve, like trying to lengthen the neck, but overall I'm very happy with this model.

Ha-ha... you didn't exactly fold it lately Ponadr . Anyway, looks very attractive! How did you make it?

Continuing with my folds, aside from the boxes I showed, I also made two bracelets:



Folded from plastic materials. As you can see, it employs the twist fold. I don't remember the dimensions of the original rectangle, nor the one I used for the following bracelet.




Folded from fiber tissue paper and other plastic materials. This one employs a variation of the twist fold similar to a pinwheel. I don't know if someone is credited for this variation .

Please let me know what you think .

My mom's been making quilts for a long time. It's about time I made the connection between quilting and origami.

As for making the quilt, I selected the colors and cut out the shapes, the rest was my mother.

Awesome bracelets, do they lock in place fairly well?

Thank you thedeadsmellbad! I love compliments . I feel very flattered. I'd love to answer your question. Can you please explain to me what you mean by "lock in place"?
