Shamrock
March 1998

The shamrock is now available and diagrammed. I redesigned the stem so this photo is not exactly the same as you will fold. I think the design is better than the original. 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.


Gingerbread House
December 2000

All the pieces are folded without cutting or gluing but to assemble the individual pieces I used white glue as the 'icing'. The candy canes, icicles, trees, and hearts are my own models. The peppermint candies are a variation on a Lover's Knot model in Creating Origami. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Brilliant Origami
I really like the 'European' St. Nick feel of this origami Santa. Fittingly, this origami model is made from wrapping paper.

A contemporary, stylized origami Santa made from two pieces of paper. I like the jaunty nature of this St. Nick.

The Standing Chick and Egg model is now diagrammed. This origami model is made out of two pieces of origami paper and will stand alone.


Chick 'N' Egg
Sarah Gallagher, October 2000

The Chick 'N' Egg model is now diagrammed. This origami model is a one piece model made from a yellow piece of origami paper and utilizes both sides of the paper.


Santa Head
Sarah Gallagher, October 2000

The Santa Head is now diagrammed. I like trying creating origami models that have a color change and utilize both sides of the origami paper.


Snowflakes

Living Origami
The book this model comes from boasts that the base fold will produce 120 variations. I am thinking they took a little creative license with that claim.

Unit Origami
Unit origami is easier than I thought it would be. I have folded several from that book.


Ghost
Created by Paul Jackson
Festive Folding
This is the best ghost model I have found so far. I scanned this model on the flatbed scanner and the effect is quite unusual as opposed to photographing it. This model reminds me of the Japanese Teru Teru Bozu which is a doll made of tissue paper and string and hung up as a talisman for good weather.
