My latest creations :
Medusa
A very fun model to create and fold. The challenge here was trying to fit as much snakes as possible on the head. As such, I managed to put 15 snakes (each with his own pair of eyes), making a really heavy head for medusa. The body and pose were mostly improvised since the important part of a medusa is her head.
Statue of Liberty
This is my submission for this month's folding challenge. This model was really hard to create and fold. I kept changing parts even while folding (this is my second atempt) and the shaping was very tedious as well. I tried to add as much details as I could so that she ressembles the real statue of Libery as much as possible.

Thanks for your comments! Anna, I even know which character you are talking about.
As for making instructions or a book, the best I can do right now would be making CPs of my work. Drawing diagrams would be far too complicated unless I don't include the shaping process and making a photo-diagram would require me to have a better camera. But, with the right motivation, I just might give it a shot someday...

This is the best Statue of Liberty I've seen so far. I love the details and the the way her dress is pleated and draped is my favorite (I'm a seamstress/ fashion designer). The first came across it was on Flickr and I think you mention it was folded from a hexagon with wicked strange dimensions is that really true or was it my imagination? The comment was gone last time I checked.Sunburst wrote:Statue of Liberty
Can't afford a pet? Fold one or a hundred! The best part is you don't have to feed it or worry about it making a mess!!!

I think you were looking at this, not Sunbust's version, LadyInRed.
Thank you, Whisper Puffin that was the hexagon one. These were both in the Original Designs pool on Flickr. I forgot about that version and then thought Sunburst's was folded from a hexagon....WhisperPuffin wrote:I think you were looking at this, not Sunbust's version, LadyInRed.

Thank you very much, LadyInRed! Although my statue of liberty is just made from a simple square...
Zorigami : I doubt there will ever be a diagram for both of those models (especially the statue). The closest thing I could possibly do would be a diagram for their base (which would still be very, very hard to do) or provide a crease pattern.
Bronners : I take it you are a beginner with crease patterns... If so, I wouldn't recommend attempting one of my models . You might want to check out a website that helps understanding them though (such as this one : http://spinflipper.com/origami/cp/toc.html.) By the way, each line represents a fold to be made in that location. Finding where to make them depends on the crease pattern.

My latest folds :
Pig by Quentin Trollip
A very cool model. My favorite part is the snout, although it is kinda hard to shape correctly.
Vampire
Here's something that I wanted to design a while ago. The color-changes on the hands and face where my main goals. Color-changing the face was a LOT harder than I expected though and I can't be sure if I'm going to try it often on future models. Furthermore, I believe it is possible to have bat wings on both arms.
Skeleton ver.1.5
A major upgrade to my previous version and one that is more realistic. Here's what's different : much better skull, shoulder blades, knees and pelvis region. The eye-sockets came out bigger than I expected tough. The grid size used is 42 (an unusual number for boxpleating.)
