African ElephantThere are many succesful Origami Elephants, but i've always found it hard designing them. Their distinctive features, such as their huge ears and trunk makes it hard to get the proportions right and to make it look appealing to other folders. The ears are made from one small flap other than two big separate flaps. This is also my only succesful Elephant design to date.

Crease Pattern challenges!

Tiger Beetle Designed by Philip Kuhns 12/26/2010

Here a crease pattern for one of the most anatomically accurate, origami tiger beetles around! The right side of the crease pattern shows the preliminary box pleat design for the river assignment, and the left shows the foldable creases (dashed is mountain and solid is valley). For folding the model, use a large sheet (15 inches or greater) that is very thin and strong. Be sure that the sheet is sized because some serious wet shaping is required at the end! Here are the steps to folding the model: Pre-crease a 60/60 unit grid (be careful not to get creases where the top of the abdomen will be exposed), pre-crease all of the diagonals (red lines) shown in the crease pattern, collapse the base, and shape. Enjoy! 1st Antenna Leg Jaw Eye 2nd Leg Abdomen
