The Origami Forum

Hello everyone, I am getting out of fresh ideas and a request only comes once every 2 years. if you have any diagrams you want me redraw to the collection, ether from a video or a drawing, just let me know. I am trying to build a huge collections and the progress has been slow. I normally avoid anything thats way to simple, I may need to consider if its way to complex. Check out what I have so far at

I'm just an artist who knows little or nothing about legal issue, if theres a problem, please let me know.

It's an excellent page !

Would you diagram the Common Box: http://es.scribd.com/doc/34555340/Caja- ... Common-Box .

Thanx! I had to check if the origami was copyrighted. now that I know, I added to my list! just let me know if theres anything you want me to change, it is easy for me to fix it.

No thank YOU!

They're great... I loved them !

PS: Bare in mind every posted or published figure is copyrighted unless it says otherwise, like this one and traditional figures .

Yes, i am aware of it now, and took off any possible copyrighted diagram, unless it is something I made myself. They told me no matter how much modified it, it is still a copyrighted. Such a shame too, I had some origami I made just from looking at finished figure (with no hints). But I started to add every traditional figures tho, I win some i lose some. There are a lot of traditional figures to work with.

Without getting into the argument-- and because copyright in the case of origami is very unclear (I'm a non-lawyer expert in copyright and fair use-- there is certainly a point at which a modification qualifies as its own work and is protected. Fair Use in such cases isn't a matter of law because Fair Use isn't a law, but a way to build a defense should you be accused of violating someone's copyright. Other factors include whether you are selling the work (and whether *they* are or reasonably could), etc. The safest way would be to contact the owners and see if they are OK with it. If they are not, then it's a judgment call as to whether you have transformed the work...

By the way, what models have you created ?

I remember some origami which I used to make, I think I made from a book, but that was few years ago, because of that, I have no way of finding who it was to begin with. I set all the possible copyrighted to a different link (no diagrams) and started working on traditional for now. If I find them on traditional, them ill put them back up. Unless someone tells me. I'll stick to the safe side for now.

All the models I made are model by Steven Keyser
My favorite piece is an Angel, and the one that can be made with money. I know some of mine may be base on other origami models, but I wouldn't known unless someone point a finger at it.

Talking Bird - I remember making a bird and attempt to recreate it also reinforced it.
Angel - lunch at work maybe a long time, after few months messing around with my receipt, I made this angel, or a mage with a cape
Catmark - Failed attempted to create a cat... but its a nice bookmark
Crab - Make this with my faint memory and curiosity from a table base model. It has become my sites model! It may have 4 legs, enough to stand up with a pincher, best of all, no cuts!
Crane Tray - While attempting to make crane envelope, I found out making a crane only takes 1/4 of the paper and wanted to know what happen if i make it in all 4 sides. using table base I achieve the unthinkable. (unless someone else got it first and copyrighted it without me knowing)
Fancy Envelope - tried to make rabbit envelope and failed failed failed, but made this. I dont think making that bunny envelope is possible without cutting. (I hate cutting)
Picnic Basket - though of making box with handle, after messing around, i made it into a nice shape.
Flower Frame - Was trying to make a flower, but hey! why don't we put a picture inside!
maybe Birdbox - unsure if i should take this credit or now, but leave them off. was base from crane envelope, but found other site thats very similar..
Dress - made this while experimenting with making an angel, my coworker loves it!
Clover - from a curisouty of first step of making a rose, i tested to see of i can fold all which seems to be possible but not impossible. (look at challenge step to see)
Zaplane - long time ago, i was thinking the best way for airplane to fly far as possible and come up with a plane that uses rubber band to launch, had a good time showing off (no one got their eyes poked out)
Shirt and Tie - I always wanted to make a shirt with tie with dollar bill, but finding a diagram seems impossible to find, so I attempt to make my own base on dollar shirt then wala! But is this really my model? just let me know, I really hate to restricted free knowledge to everyone just because its copyrighted.
Money Angel my first angel gotten 1 dollar richer!
Straw Ring Got bored waiting for food and tried to make something with a straw wrappings and made this nifty ring!
Heart Ring - alot of girls likes heart for some reason and tried to make a ring with one with a straw, found out its only look good if i use short and thick straw wrapping which i rarely seen.
Seashell - plastic shopping bag is all i had one time during a lunch time. Made a nice seashell from a random fold, but took me several tried to make it teachable.
Flag - with receipt paper, I tried to make a flag, but cant stop chopping things with it.
Winged Heart - I was thinking what would happen if i fold in different approach when making a dollar heart having extra paper outside instead of inside, enough to make wings it seems.

TALK ABOUT A COMPLETE ANSWER ! Your models range from pretty good to really good . I specially liked the dress and the angel A LOT.

Thanks for sharing.
