I like the fish, especially with the light shining through the paper in parts. Good work on the crisp round folds too.
Happy Folding,
Ariel

Nice designs.
I'd love to see the grasshopper folded with some paper that is a little less furry. The paper you used looks like it would be great for a spider, but a grasshopper should be a bit smoother and shinier if possible.

Great Bull! What kind of paper did you fold it with? It looks very wispy.

Thank you for your interest Ted!

The paper I use is just paper I get from my local WHSmiths--it is called craft paper on the packet. But I don't think it is craft paper in the sense we know it as.

It costs £1.99 per pack and each pack contains 8 A4 sheets--expensive, but worth it in my opinion :)

Maybe you should put Ben in your signature then, like Origami_8 has Anna in her's.

I agree, the head has very nice features here.
Would it be possible to take a square on side view? With the angled poses, I can't quite visualise the whole thing, particularly with regard to how the tail looks in context.

Insomniac Folder, I will uplaod a side view of my bull very soon. I am sorry for the delay :(

Spirit of Cat, I will do as you ask :)

My next design--a hunched egret! Designed and folded by me from one uncut piece of square paper.

It was inspired by this photo: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_waiZsq8KBFc/S ... 343E19.jpg

Wow! :shock: This is great stuff for someone who has only just started designing their own models.
