Does anyone know any origami bookmarks? I am looking for real bookmarks, not bookmarks to homepages!
I was reading Robert Lang´s "Origami Design Secrets" when I wondered if there was a good origami bookmark I could fold to use with ODS.

Once I came up with an elephant bookmark. Do you think it's worth diagramming? Would you like to fold it?

Thanks! Diagramming is in progress.
When I showed this bookmark to my family, nobody could recognise elephant in it.

their eyes must not have been conditioned by thousands of shapes and suggestion that a "ture" origamist would have been trained with when searching for the next great fold. or maybe we are just dillusional

Origamists as artists certainly have much more developped perceptive senses.
Btw, diagram of elephant bookmark is finished. Check
my site.
Esato: You may check the similarity to elephants from ODS
Have fun!

You're welcome!
Unfurtunately that's the only bookmark I designed. But if I doodle something else I'll let you know.
Best regards,
