A whale of a good fold.
Diagram:
This whale model was folded based on a diagram at Origami-Club.Com.
My Experience:
Though the whale has very few folds, I had a tough time deciding how far to do each fold.
Additionally, the fourth step/fold, where a backwards fold is done, was a bit tricky to get lined up evenly.

Origami Whale – A sea full of folds
Face – Traditional Rabbit-Ear Folding
Diagram:
This face is folded in accordance with Teach Yourself Origami by John Montroll. Pages 38/39.
My Experience:
The most difficult part of this was the rabbit-ear folds. The initial folds are the fish base.

In any case, this isn’t super complex but is [...]

What’s interesting about folding this is the inital folds get unfolded. Then new [...]

I recommend you fold yourself up a [...]
Origami Virgin Makes Crane, Tape at Ten
Yes, it’s a crane you say, and follow it up with so what. Well, it’s my first crane and I’m dang proud of it. Believe it or not, it wasn’t an hour long effort either.
The crane diagram didn’t come from Teach Yourself Origami but the origami.com site. Origami, the web site, is chock [...]
Teach Yourself Origami – My first origami book
What spurred me into finally taking up origami wasn’t just having time on my hands and a few extra bucks. It was this book, Teach Yourself Origami, sitting in the bargain bin at Borders. Something about the half price tag that really caught my eye, and oh yeah, the animals on the front.
Buying a [...]
