after seeing everyone elses galleries on this site, i decided to make one of my own. i am 13 and ive been folding for 9 years but ive only been designing for 3 years. i only have pics of my more recent designs but i will take some pics of my earlier designs sometime in the near future.
here is my first pic
model name- dragon
creator- me
folder- me
notes- i folded this a while back and only recently took pics of it so its a little beaten. folded from 10 inch kami. i am quite proud of this design.

model name- one sheet rose
creator- brian chan
folder- me
notes- my first attempt at folding from tissue foil. i folded this for me and my girls 7 monthaversary. the night before it, i was rushing to get it done, then i went on brian chans website and realized he took off the cp so i had to fold it from memory.

i would like to thank sarah for taking these pics for me.

model name- hercules beetle
creator- me
folder- me
notes- my first insect design. after folding this model from both tissue foil and kami, i realized that i hated kami and i would avoid folding from it as much as possible. folded fro a 9 inch sheet of tissue foil. i decided to give it a nice cartoonish feel and added big bug eyes to it

Probably a good choice

Thanks!

yeah, before i tried folding from tissue foil, i saw all of these wonderful origami designs and mine all looked like crap and i tthought it was my fault, but then when i tried to fold my hercules beetle, i realized that it looked 10 times better than when i folded it with kami.

Maybe you should say which one is which for people who are not familiar with the models

I like the gryphon. Are parts of it color-changed? I wasn't sure if I was just seeing reflections in the photo.

no. its just the kind of paper i used. it had an orange and white swirl.
