I designed a marmoset and refolded my rabbit:

Very nice folding Cephalopod, are they wet folded?

The marmoset is really nice, much like Giang Dinhs' work, subtle and expressive. Although some points for improvement could be to define the head from the body by forming a neck...and making the ears a little bit bigger.

I love the rabbit!...any chance of a cp or diagrams?

Thanks! The models are not wet-folded. The marmoset, well I can't make any changes to it really. The structure doesn't allow it. I'll just design another one that's better XD

It's summer holidays now, so I'll be able to start diagramming things!

The marmoset is cute! It looks as if he got his face flattened or something. The rabbit is also nice, though you could try making the legs abit longer.
Anyway, well done!

Broken lines are valley folds, solid lines are mountain. The grey lines are existing creases, but I only put in the ones that matter.

Wow thanks...I'll try to fold it sometime soon.

And I look forward to the redesigned marmoset!

Thanks for sharing, could you make it to pdf format?

Cephalopod · Post by **Cephalopod** » June 21st, 2009, 8:28 am

Sorry, I don't really know how :S

I found it on your flickr, so it should be ok.

I converted the Rabbit Diagrams to PDF -
http://home.roadrunner.com/~hanksimon/Rabbit.pdf

I plan to delete them, so please download soon, if interested. Normally, I would have sent them to the creator, but from the conversation, it looked like this would be OK.

Cephalopod - Two Suggestions:

1. You're making good progress with your designs and diagrams. You might consider submitting some of them (or creating new ones) for publication in one of the international Origami Convention Publications next year.

2. There is an electronic Christmas Origami publication through this Origami Forum at the end of the year for diagrams and CPs that have never been published. Here is the topic for the 2008 Christmas Book:
viewtopic.php?t=4755&highlight=christmas

Don't stop posting info to the Forum, but you might hold a few back for the 2009 Book.

Hey, thanks a lot for converting them! And thank you for your advice

Please, could you tell me how you convert files into PDF format? Thank you!

Thank you too, Hank Simon, for the hard work. Ceplhalopod, thanks for the diagrams- I'll definitely fold it when I get the right paper.

The way that I convert to PDF is to use an Apple Macintosh. It comes with free software. (Make your own by searching for Dell Hackintosh on Google, then check out the Gizmodo Web site).

A more practical approach is to look for free PDF converters on the Web. For example, http://www.cutepdf.com . You'll have to check for the one that fits your requirements.

I imagine that some of the "diagramming" software will automatically save to PDF.
