Models folded by me:
PictureDescription
This is a piece of a Soma Cube that I just recently started making. I finally can make them properly out of single strips of paper, rather than taping shorter strips together, since I now have ticker tape. I currently have five of the seven pieces.
This is my oldest work in progress that I still haven't finished. It is essentially a mini version of my big torus. It currently is about 8.5" across, and I have a bunch more pieces to fold before I can finish it. There are a total of 555 pieces used in making this model.
This is the big torus I made. It is the completed model of the smaller one, except that it is about two and a half feet wide.
Another picture of the big torus.
This is the color scheme I used in my torus. It is modified from a seven-colored version to this 5-colored design.
This is the way I store all my excess PHiZZ units. I store them this way because it is easier to count them, since I separate them into groups of ten, it is easier to transport them, and it is safer than the plastic baggies I used to store them in. I currently have about 850 units ready to be assembled.
This is the first of the completed models of the Five Intersecting Tetrahedral Frames that I've folded. I haave folded three of this size, 6" edges, and a smaller one that has 3" edges.
This is a picture of one large and one small model of the five intersecting tetrahedra.
This is another work in progress. It is a different version of the five intersecting tetrahedra. Instead of 5 interlocking tetrahedral frames, it is a single unit that has five-pointed star dimples that connect to the 20 points, with a other pieces to hold it more stable. This model will be made of 150 pieces of three different types.
This is my second test sheet working with pleating to create scales. This method and design can be used to make a design so you can make another model have scales, for example a fish or a dragon. I think I forgot my first test sheet at the Origamido studio. It was a 4x4 set of pleats made to look like scales. This is a 5x5 set, created from a larger sheet of paper, and it is still a work in progress. Only a few rows of scales have been finished in this picture.
This is another sheet of scales. The measurements of the pleating is ½", 1½", ½", 1½" (i.e. ½" pleats spaced every 1½").
This is yet another sheet of scales. The pleating pattern is ¼", ¾", ¼", ¾". It is essentially a more packed version of the previous two. This is actually the "inefficient" way of folding the scales which "wastes" paper, though I find it easier to fold, since the pleats are much bigger.
This is just another picture of the sheet of scales above.
This is a chessboard folded from one sheet of paper, green on one side and white on the other. It is my first completed chessboard. It is about 6" to a side, and was folded from a 26.5" square. The model is not too well done, since many of the "squares" are not square, but I am planning on making a larger more carefully folded version with a black and white paper.
This is a Horseshoe crab that I folded watching a video by Michael Lafosse that shows how to fold the happy good luck bat as well as this model. This did not come out too well, but it is decent considering it is the first I've folded. It still looks like one, even though it is green.
This is a compilation of most of the geometric origami I had on display at my high school.


Models not folded by me that I have seen:
PictureDescription
This is a lobster folded by origami master Michael LaFosse. He gave this to me as a sort of guide to help me when I make another one. It is folded from a special textured red paper that he can get only in Japan. It is a 3-d model. He says he has not folded this model for about ten years now, but it looks very nice. It is about 4.5" long. (I have folded this model many times since learning. I have made it from foil paper twice and from normal paper many times.)
This is a picture of the Pangolin that I saw while visiting the Origamido Studio in Haverhill, MA.
This is a picture of the loggerhead turtle that I also saw at the Origamido Studio. It is folded by Satoshi Kamiya and apparently is diagrammed in the 81st issue of the Origami Tanteidan Magazine
