What have you folded lately?

That Dolphin looks awesome!
It's a very hard design to be honest, and requires big and thin paper - Which i unfortunatly don't have right now... I'll get some and refold it though. The back can be closed. but it'd mess up the whole design.

I test folded Brian Chans Mens et Manus and this is the result:

To be honest this is the hardest model that i've folded this far. And as you can see the faces were very hard to do.

Aardvark

Aardvark is an Afrikaans word (my native language), and funnily enough this strange animal's name has not really been translated.
It literally means "Earth-pig" if translated directly to English. It is not realted to the pig at all though, but is in a family of its own.

Origami-wise, nothing too spectacular, the main aim was to get a nice curved back and smooth transition to the tail.

From an uncut square of foil-washi, 25cm, closed-back.

PS Gachepapier, great job on my dolphin! Thank you!

In my language it is called Jordsvin (soil-pig)

Sweden is a very poor country when it comes to origami. Almost totally unknown at all. Maybe I should move to Canada too, as Quentin Trollip

"Tegenaria Fuellica"

This is a new spider species design from me based on my previous base of "Common Greek Spider".
Idea came when a friend on facebook capture with his camera this spider and posted the picture on his wall. I had modified the base so to get different lengths on the body and legs, and here is the result.
Box pleated design from a square of tissue paper 30cm
