Awesome horse. Very graceful looking-the mane looks almost like human hair. The legs are very well done-I especially like the front pair.

I love the swan and the ape, very well done! Do you have any of your models published?

That werewolf is tight. That paper sure has a nice texture.

Thanx guys.
MrsRiggins, I have a few things published here and there. Not a book yet, but working on it. LondonOrigami put out a cd with 10 of my designs (and others'), some convention packs in Spain and England, maybe tha OUSA convention pack for 2008, hopefully the Tanteidan convention pack for 2008 (I submitted diagrams for the Urang Utang), the ORU magazine (can't remember which one though). There might be a few compilation books later this year with some of my stuff also, will have to wait and see. I would like to publish a book maybe next year, it's quite a process though.
Anyway, thanx for your interest.
Jeossmayhem, I think the paper is unryu, I'm not sure though. I still need to experiment with MC, I think that should also make a difference to the end result. I like designing stuff that could be folded from normal paper. I hate preparing specific paper for a specific model. It takes away from the designing time. So I test most things with normal paper first. the werewolf needs good paper though, many layers.
I used Mulberry paper for the first time this weekend with the Pegasus, and I love it. It is a bit flimsy, so that's why i need to get the MC under control. I guess that will be good for more complex designs.

Yea... I just got really lucky today and got some really nice Japanese papers, but I can't remember the name of the type... The retail price is around $18-20 a sheet, but I was able to get seven for just $25. Let me know how your tests with MC go because I hope to size them someday. I'm anxious to experiment because I'll feel horrible if I ruin the paper, haha.

Cool Dachshund (this is how you spell it). One thing bothers me though: the front legs. It looks like it has flaps that are way long, and thus not very folder-friendly, and the layering is awkward. The rest of it looks great though. I really like the face and the hind legs, as well as how you really got the character of the wiener dog.

Jared, right, right and right.
But thats the problem with close-backed models (for me anyway), the leg flaps come from underneath (not in all though). My main aim was to get a close-backed model to have that "sausage" look. The leg flaps are long, but serve to form the chest. Also, next time I will valley the front legs instead of inside reversing them. That will distinguish them more from the chest. But I am happy with this first try though! I dont like the hind legs, but the face has alot of potential for some character.
Thanx for your input.
