The Origami Forum

Hello!

I am trying to fold a whole Nativity Scene as a gift, but I am missing one of the main characters, the donkey.

I have been trying to find some on the web, but apparently there not a lot of donkey models around.

I know there is one on Kunihiko Kasahara's Origami Omnibus, however i found a picture of it here: http://db.origami.com/displayphoto.asp?ModelID=9611 and it is not exactly what I am looking for.

I have searched on Origami Central and unfortunatelly, most of the models that came up are from magazines or books that are not available for me to get or are not exactly what I am looking for...

Althoug I am trying to keep the same style in all the figures, I think it is going to be difficult, so any help is welcome.
I have been able to get some of the models modifying others, but I have been unsuccessfull with the donkey.

Thanks in advance to everyone who can help.

I remember there being an Eeyore at folds.net

Well, Cupcakes has a CP for his donkey on his blog. Might be what you're looking for.

I've created a donkey lately, mayby I'll draw the diagram

Hi guys!
Thanks a lot for your answers!
I tried checking Eeyore at fold.net, but I couldn't see the graphics. I will try from home.

Thanks for the Tip, Jonnycakes, unfortunately I am not that good with CPs (actually, I am no good at all! )

Ori-gauthier I'd appreciate a lot if you could diagram your donkey and share the diagrams, let me know if I can help somehow.

If anyone else can help, I'd appreciate it! It is always better to have different models to choose.

THANKS!

My favorite origami donkey is Peterpaul Forcher's, check the page http://herchu.tripod.com/origami/index_all.html and look for esel

Thanks A Lot For the Diagrams, ori-gauthier!
I will try it and will post a picture of the result, if you don't mind!

This isn't completely related, but the french forum just had a challenge for folding donkeys: http://origami.kwoon.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1787

By far, the best donkey models that I've seen, have come from Origami Arequipa website.
Renee Mollo and David Llanque have done a terrific job with Burrito Valiente, Burrito Sabanero, and Burro .
I would buy their book in a heartbeat if it were available !
