I didn't really get going as an "origamist" until three years ago, when I was 54, in hospital and bored. I've started lot of things rather late in life. I had my first (and last) child at the grand age of 47 ... without trying to get pregnant. Does that make you feel young?
BTW, my recently started origami photo gallery continues to grow. Although I have folded the work of many respected origami veterans I am trying to keep the megabytes down by restricting my "box gallery" mainly to my own creations.
Please check back regularly as I continue to add models and diagrams. There is quite a lot more to come. I have several plastic containers full of original boxes which I am working my through. Most of them are prototypes made from rough scrap paper which need to be folded from my (large) supply of better stuff.
The procedure is as follows:
1. (this step is usually skipped) web-publish photo of rough model (to establish priority before someone else comes up with the same or similar model),
2. publish photo of model folded from pretty paper,
3. publish photos of modular units (if there are any),
4. publish crease pattern of model,
and finally,
5. publish folding diagrams of model.
You will find the gallery at:

Please be patient. All this takes time .. and I do have a life outside origami.
