Joseph Wu's eagle
Hi!
First of all, sorry for my bad English but I'm Italian and so.... I write here because I found a problem trying to do the eagle made by Joseph Wu. In the first step of this diagram he says to tuck inside, but I really can't understand what he mean by this because I can't tuck inside that piece of paper. If anybody can help me I'll be very happy.
Thx for all and if anybody has corrections to do about my bad english he's welcome!

The tip of the tail goes inside the layers.
You know, that's not a very good eagle model...

Yes, I am that Joseph Wu. Not that it really matters. And please call me Joseph or Joe. "Mr. Wu" is my dad.

I beg to differ because your eagle is relatively simple, exactly do justice to proportions of real eagle -- which is the main principle of Origami! -- and has perfect pose and balance. My brother can fold your eagle realy very good, without any rip and with very high folding quality (I am every time rip the head). If you are interested in this eagle, I can send its picture to this forum.Joseph Wu wrote: You know, that's not a very good eagle model...

yes. since my last post i did exactly that and made four bird bases... although for a long time i has missed out a crease and so itwouldnt lie flat. i then stretched each bird base, fussed with it for a while, trying to think what to make of it and gave up. interesting shapes though... a good learning experience

And the blintzed frog makes for some rather pretty flowers. I use it for my water lily.
Also, we like your eagle, Joe, even if you think you could do better. It's easy to fold, it's recognizable as an eagle, and it only requires one piece of paper. To me, that makes it better than the other patterns floating around on the internet.
