Origami Horses

Ok, here is what I've been getting to. All the horses have pretty much the same base. But I designed this one first and then broke down the parts to get the other ones from this one. It was a nice project, I really enjoyed it!

SuperHorse (aka UnicornSleipnirPegasus)
Designed from a single uncut square Sept 2007.

Nee-hee-heato! I thought that's what you were doing. Also possibly working on the other horses to get a feel for the improvements you needed on the grandfather horse. Oh by the way, that's FLIPPIN' AWESOME.

What kind of paper is this?

Very well done again Jared.
I did use the others to practice for the improvements. Here I like the wings better as they come out of the shoulderblades.
Also, the layers in all the legs are exactly the same. And thin. There is bulky layers at the front (chest) that need work, could probably make a nice "undermane", but I didnt think it necessary.
I used Mulberry paper 90cm per side and the model is about 35 cm long from horn to tail. So not very effective, but I dont think it could have been done more effective to be honest.
I'm glad you like it

qtrollip: I'm really interested in your publications. Can you give me some info on where to find them. Especially if the books contain diagrams for your Bear and Pig

There is a Bear by Edwin Corrie is in "The Encyclopaedia of Origami", a very elegant cute design.

I have a spare copy of the book (Duplicate Christmas Gift) if you would like it.

Beautiful equine collection too.

Thank you very much for the kind offer, InsomniacFolder.
I have made contact with Edwin, and he is sending me a booklet. I dont know exactly which one, but he did also send me diagrams of his Pig and Bear (which are just great and fun to fold).
Thank you anyway.

Nice job Quentin! I love the wings and the tail, and the mane... the entire model is great! Is that mulberry paper as well?

Thanx guys!
Merman, I think the cp would look like a crumpled paper! Lots of creases.

I will work on it, but my experience drawing cps is minimal.
Andrew, yes, it is mulberry paper. I found a roll at the local art shop and it is a dream to fold with!!

here you go, Eaglehorn
CP for the basic horse.

You can see a larger format on my flickr page.
I have drawn the diagrams to collapse the CP. PM me if you need help.
