Origami Pictures Listed by Type

Unless other wise noted all pictured models are done from a 6 inch piece of square paper.

I would like to appoligize for the quality of these pictures. I am still working on a way to set up the shot to take a better picture - besides using a better camera.

Dog, German Shepard -- ?? - ed: Isao Honda:1959
This was made from 2 pieces of paper and I think the head could be a little better placed, and I had to make the ears a little smaller.

Elephant -- John Montroll:1979

Lion -- John Montroll:199?
This lion is quite front heavy. This may be fixable at an early stage? The lion also has a really nice mouth which you can't see in this picture.

The picture is not very good so here is another not very good picture of the same model.

Brontosaurus -- John Montroll:1985
This is one of the models that I have memorized. I usually have one model I can make anywhere so there are a lot of people out there with bronorsauri.

Mythological

Cerberus -- John Montroll:1996
This was made from a large piece of wrapping paper.

Three Headed Dragon -- John Montroll:1996
This dragon got to be the first one with his picture taken so here is a fixed shot of him. He is made from a 8 inch piece of paper.

Western Dragon -- John Montroll:1996
This dragon is made from a piece of Jeppesen Enroute aviatoion chart.These charts make good origami paper becuase they are very large and thin enough to make a complex model easy to handle.

Other Things

King Tut's Head -- Robert Lang:1988
This is not a very good model (just in case you thought it was the picture) but it was pretty fun to make.

Ball -- Unknown
This is a model I have been making for many years. It is a ball made from 30 small pieces of paper. It is also possible to make a ball using 12 of these same pieces. If you know who designed this let me know!

Snail-- Alfredo Giuta:unknown

Cactus, Prickly-Pear -- John Montroll:1995

Cactus, Saguaro -- John Montroll:1995
