Shamrock March 1998 The shamrock was my first origami creation. It is now diagrammed. It is probably low-intermediate difficulty. I actually sat down with the intention of creating a shamrock. Lots of times I just start folding and stop to look at the model to see what it resembles and try to create an origami model that way. Daffodils Suisen Created by Ted Normington Classic Origami This origami flower is folded from a yellow square and a green square of origami paper. Diagrams for this model can be found at Origami 4 You. Bearded Iris Ayame Created by Sarah Wooden Stem by Mitsunobu Sonobe Paper Creations by Gay Merrill Gross See Sarah's Origami Designs Traditional Pine Tree Matsunoki Traditional Model Absolute Beginner's Origami by Nick Robinson I first encountered this origami model just browsing through Robinson's book at a local Borders bookstore. It is so simple I memorized it after one look. It seems a little ironic to be folding origami trees from origami paper made from trees. Something about that hurts my brain. Variation of Traditional Origami Pine Tree Matsunoki I made a few additional folds and came up with this origami tree. The model is designed for endless variations! Waterlily and Lily Pad Yuri Created by Toshie Takahama Simple Traditional Origami These origami models are easy to fold. The lily pad is from a Japanese book found at a Chinese grocery store in Chicago. Strawberry Created by Tomoko Fuse Simple Traditional Origami I used two sheets for this since the polka dot origami paper that was backed with white. This is such a clever design! It's very interesting to fold two different origami models of the same subject matter and see the differences in folding techniques and creative thought processes of different creators. Both designers create the same thing, like a strawberry, but the methods to used to reach the same end can be so different. Strawberry Created Rae Cooker OrigamiUSA Website I used duo-colored paper for this model. Diagrams for this model can be found at OrigamiUSA Website. I really enjoy folding this origami model.
