Edwin Corrie is a British folder who has a very unique design style. He has designed quite a few animal models and they are his favorite subject matter. Corrie describes his creative approach as "doodling" and he rarely starts out with a specific goal when creating a new model. I really enjoy the actual folding of Corrie models as they often start out with a unsual base or incorporate a unique series of folds.
If you would like to fold a model created by Edwin Corrie, you can go to the British Origami Society.

This is one of the creator's easier models to fold. He used the reverse side of the paper to indicate the ears and nose. I want to fold it in black paper - it would look like the old RCA dog, Nipper. Has anyone created a phonograph in origami?

This model is so much fun to fold. he sequence of folds are non-intuitive and don't logically lead into the next giving the model a 'magic trick' quality. You begin with a preliminary base folded white side out and you wonder how is this going to turn into a pink pig? You then fold up a corner to make some interior folds and get a glimpse of pink but then you fold the corner down again. The steps leave you wondering if you are folding a leg or a snout until you finally end up with a pink pig but are still left wondering HOW you got there. The sequence of folds are non-intuitive and don't logically lead into the next.

This model is very straight forward and easy to fold. It is a fine example that a model doesn't have to be complicated to accurately depict the subject matter. He captures the distictive proportions, head and ears of the Scottish Terrior.

I love Corrie's origami models. I have several of his British Origami Society booklets.
