wow...you guys are really uptight.......ever ready any faulkner...saramango....authors that diverged from the "normal" punctuation....im pretty sure they were taken seriously....thanks josh for the link.

Artistic license by acknowledged master writers is not the model that everyone else gets to follow. That would be like everyone writing in the disjointed, stream-of-conciousness way that Virginia Woolf wrote Mrs. Dalloway. The rules are there for everyone to follow; only a very few people get to break them, and they have to earn that right.

More importantly, I'm pretty sure that if any of the above authors had written like that out of the context of a literary artwork, they would rightly have been ridiculed or ignored. It kind of makes you seem like a four-year-old, to be honest. If you expect people to read what you write, you could at least *try* to make a good impression.

To answer the original question, look here: http://www.origami-usa.org/thefold. The Cicada Nymph was in issue 2, the Scarab Beetle was in issue 3, and the Brown Widow was in issue 4. Crease patterns for all of them, along with an article about the design techniques used. You have to be an OrigamiUSA member to access the material, but it's only $30/year and you get lots of other benefits.

BTW FrumiousBandersnatch, props on the Cicada. Is that from a sheet of paper circle's O-Gami?

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Thank you Andrew! It is indeed from a 25cm piece of O-gami. Also, that particular cicada nymph is a revised one, different CP from the one on his site and the other one in The Fold. Just as an FYI for those wondering!

it's also worth noting that the $30 also gets you all the back issues. which is a lot of stuff. that said, i disapprove of the way they used a lot of their models to fill OUSA 2011. that said, i do think the fold is the way to run an online origami newsletter in terms of subscription fees (4esquinas is the superior product with stunning production values, in some ways at least equal to the tanteidan, but it's free and obviously the time in between issues seems to be highly variable)--entice your folders with some well-known designers' models to get us hooked. sadly i think a lot of folders are missing out because it doesn't fulfill their criteria of having super duper complex models.
