4: Nessie

A cute plesiosaur, or loch-ness monster (but waay to cute to be scary).

One square of A4 photocopy paper – looks more like a juvenile as the neck-body proportions are a bit out for an adult (well, that is my story and I am sticking to it)nessie

This is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of pre-folding, you make one model, unfold it and bend it into another model. I pride myself of folding this from memory – not bad given I have not folded it in at least 15 years.

One piece of paper (photocopy A4 is not great as it frays after 3 or 4 creases on the same line) cut square, no additional cuts, no glue – all class.

Design by Jack Skillman, USA, 1965 (I first saw it in a Robert Harbin “Origami 2” book I own)Jackstone

2: Llama

I rather like the expression on the face, position of ears and body stance of this model – not bad for a first time fold.

1: Peacock

One sheet of paper, rectangle 2×1, folded prior to this project started but the inspiration for it so it is a fitting first

I like this model as the tail is fully articulated – it stands up as a display for the male peacock. Folded during a particularly boring exam supervision (whilst still being vigilant)A Peacock
