Diagrams for 2x3 or 3x4 paper

I just got some note-paper with a nice pattern on it that is exactly of a 2:3 ratio. I'd really like to fold something nice out of it but can't think of any diagrams for this paper format.

Now, does anyone know of diagrams that require this paper format? Or -since I could easily cut the paper in half- for 3:4 ratio?

I also remember seeing diagrams that worked with any kind of rectangular paper.

My favorites are modulars, polyhedra and abstract objects.



P.S.: I didn't want to create an extra topic for this: I am searching for I site I had bookmarked once but lost it now and can't seem to find it via Google.
It's a database of Origami polyhedra. For example, you could choose a certain polyhedron and then see a list of who created diagrams for this shape, how many modules it uses and where the diagram can be found, etc.

Well, one of Robert J. Lang's tarantula's (the one in "the complete book of origami") uses a 2:3 rectangle. Other than that, I can't think of anything.

If you can find a copy of "Paper Folding for Fun", there's a very nice spider made from a 2x3 rectangle. The spider was designed by Max Hulme.

you could put six 2x3 rectangles together to get a square. [img]http://freenet-homepage.de/origamichris ... ofl0ne.gif[/img]

The lovely five intersecting tetrahedra modular piece uses 1:3 paper so you could cut each of yours in half.
