Je me souviens que lors de mes premires annes dorigami, ce qui me plaisait le plus tait de dcouvrir desmodles rares, indits, que je dnichais en fouillant de nombreuses heures dans des livres oublis, des livrets de conventionou encore des magasines peu connus, parus ltranger. Je me souviens de lmotion ressentie en trouvant certainsmodles, de purs bijoux gars dans dobscures publications puis tombs dans loubli. Comment le monde de lorigamipouvait-il passer ct de ces modles ? Je me souviens du bteau de Patricia Crawford dans Origami Step by Step, unchef duvre, heureusement sauv de lindiffrence grce sa parution dans le livre dHarbin. Qui se souviendrait de cemodle sans cette publication ? Je me souviens avoir dcouvert, dans des cartons dartistes clbres, des modlesextraordinaires qui resteront probablement jamais mconnus.

Lors de ma participation la convention italienne en 2005, je suis tomb sous le charme de deux modlesincroyables qui nont pas quitt mon esprit durant ces trois dernires annes. Il sagit dun petit bateau de F. Miglionicoqui attira mon regard grce sa voilure gonfle et loriginalit du pliage simulant son sillage dans leau ; lautre tant unpetit dragon de Daniela Carboni, tellement mignon et craquant quil fut le succs de cette convention et le grand gagnantdu concours organis. Mais qui se souvient de ces deux modles aujourdhui ?

Cest ainsi qua germ lide de ce livre : sauver de loubli de petits chefs duvres, mais aussi mettre en lumiredurablement, dans un livre, des modles exceptionnels. Jai donc dcid de prendre mon chapeau dIndiana Jones et jesuis parti la recherche de ces trsors perdus. De conventions en conventions, de galeries en blogs sur internet, jaidcouvert de petites perles. En discutant avec leurs auteurs, je me suis nouveau rendu compte que beaucoup de leurspices ne seront pas diagramms. Pourquoi ? Certains crateurs ne ralisent pas les qualits de leurs modles. Dautresnont pas le temps ou les comptences pour dessiner un diagramme. Parfois, ils nont tout simplement pas lopportunitde publier leur diagramme dans un livre. _ _

Je nai donc pas lanc dappel gnral pour collecter ces diagrammes. Jai dabord slectionn les modles. Puis,

jai contact chacuns des auteurs pour voir sil tait possible de trouver une solution pour publier leur modle. Ca na pastoujours t vident : il y a eu des rendez-vous manqus. Mais il y a surtout eu de belles rencontres. Parfois, il a falluvoyager pour rencontrer lauteur pour suivre en direct son enseignement du modle. Parfois, jai d diagrammer moi-mmele modle. Quelquefois, la difficult se situait dans ladaptation du diagramme au format dun livre. Chaque modle publiici, est ainsi, sa faon, un dfi que nous avons relev et le rsultat final en valait la peine. _

Si les uvres sont importantes, il ne faut pas non plus oublier les artistes ! Cest pourquoi jai voulu que chaquediagramme soit accompagn dune photo et dun texte prsentant lauteur. Jai aussi souhait lancer de jeunes artistesdans leur premire publication, grce au soutien de grands matres de lorigami qui ont accept de participer au projet.Enfin, jai souhait mettre en lumire deux artistes prometteurs grce une interview et un article sur leur faon de concevoirun modle.

Merci vous tous. Ce ft vraiment une belle aventure !

I remember that during my first years of doing origami, what I enjoyed most was discovering rare, unpublishedmodels, that I had unearthing by rummaging for many hours in forgotten books, convention booklets, or little knownmagazines published abroad. I remember my feelings on finding some models, pure gems mislaid in obscure publicationswhich had been completely forgotten. How could the origami world pass by such models? I remember Patricia Crawfordsfully-rigged ship in Origami Step by Step; a masterpiece, fortunately saved from oblivion by its publication in Harbins book.Who would have remembered the model without this publication? I remember discovering outstanding models that arelikely to remain forever unsung in the boxes of famous artists.

When I took part in the 2005 Italian convention, I fell under the spell of two incredible models that have stayedwith me for the last three years. One is a small ship by Francesco Miglionico that caught my eye with its swelling sail andits original design simulating its wake in the sea; the other is a small dragon by Daniela Carboni, so sweet and cute that itbecame the convention success story and the big winner of the folding contest. But who remembers these two modelstoday?

That is how the idea behind this book arose: saving small masterpieces from oblivion, but also highlightingoutstanding models in a book. So I decided to put on my Indiana Jones Fedora and to go in search of those lost treasures.

From convention to convention, from internet gallery to blog, I have uncovered little gems. In discussion with their authors,I was again reminded that many of their pieces were destined never to be diagrammed. Why? Some designers do notunderstand the qualities of their models. Others have no time or lack some of the skills to draw a diagram. Sometimes,they simply do not get the chance of publishing their diagrams in a book.

Therefore I did not send out a general request for these diagrams. I selected the models first. Then I contactedeach of the authors to see how we could publish their models. This has not always been easy: there have been somemissed appointments. But above all there have been some great meetings. Sometimes I had to travel to meet the author,so that he could teach me the model. Sometimes, I had to diagram the model myself. Sometimes, the difficulty lay in adaptingthe diagram to the format of the book. Each model published here was, in its own way, a challenge we took, and the finalresult was worth it.

If these works do matter, the artists will not be forgotten! That is why I wanted each diagram to come with a pictureand some text presenting the author. I also wished to launch young artists in their first publication, with the support oforigami grand masters who agreed to take part in the project. Lastly, I wanted to highlight two promising artists with aninterview and an article about their approach to designing models.

Thanks to all of you. It has really been a tremendous adventure.

Le choix du papier est particulirement important dans la russite dun pliage. Certainsmodles, souvent les plus simples, se plient parfaitement laide dune simple feuillede papier machine. En revanche, ds que le pliage se complexifie, ce papier atteintvite ses limites. De nouvelles approches ont t alors labores ces dernires annes.Jai retenu ici les trois principales : le papier sandwich (Tissue-foil), lutilisation de

Methylcellulose (MC) et le papier mouill (wet-folding). Lorsquun papier ou une techniqueest dconseill, jindique . Si le pliage est faisable, jindique . Enfin, le papier oula technique conseille est souligne.

Choosing the paper is instrumental to the success of a fold. Some models, often the simplest ones, can be perfectly foldedfrom printer paper. However, as the model increases in complexity, this kind of paper quickly shows its limitations. Thatswhy other approaches have developed in recent years. I have indicated three main alternatives: tissue-foil, Methylcellulose(MC) and wet folding. When a paper isnt advisable, I indicate . When the model can be folded with the paper, I indicate . I underline the paper which I find best suited for the model.

Papier sandwich / Tissue-foil:Il est form dune feuille de papier daluminium alimentaire sur laquelle est contrecoll, sur chaque face, du papier de soie.Vous pouvez aussi utiliser du papier origami mtallis qui possde une face blanche. Cest un papier qui garde parfaitementle pli. Rsistant et particulirement fin, il supporte les surpaisseurs. Il est donc particulirement adapt aux pliagescomplexes. Le papier sandwich fait maison permet de crer le papier adapt n'importe quel modle grce au large choixde papier de soie (chlor, naturel, textur ...etc). Enfin il apporte une sculpture plus riche du papier car chaque forme sefixe aisment.It is made of a sheet of kitchen foil covered on both sides with tissue paper. You can also use metallic origami paper whichhas a white side.This paper holds creases perfectly. Being extremely thin and strong, it works well when there are a lot oflayers. It is therefore particularly suited to complex folds. Handmade tissue foil allows you to create paper suitable for anyof your wishes with a large choice of color and texture of tissue paper (chlorinated,natural colours, textured effects ...).Finally, it is easy to fill out the model, and any fine details you add hold well.

Methylcellu lose (MC) :Cest une technique trs rcente qui permet de plier directement le papier de soie. Fabriquez de la colle papier peint(contenant donc du MC). Elle doit tre ni trop ferme ni trop liquide. Placez votre papier de soie sur une plaque de plexiglass,de verre, ou une planche lisse (le plus : collez sur la planche un adhsif dcoratif transparent de type Vnilia ou Fablon).

Etalez laide d'un rouleau en mousse, un pinceau poil long, ou mieux a la main, la colle sur toute la surface de votrepapier. Dcollez avec prcaution la feuille avant quelle ne sche compltement et laissez la scher, pendue un fil. Lorsdu pliage, en humectant un peu le papier, vous pourrez fixer aisment les formes que vous souhaitez donner votre modle.

This is a recent technique that allows direct usage of tissue paper. Make up some wallpaper paste (which contains MC). Itmust be neither too thick nor too runny. Place your tissue paper on a sheet of plexiglass, glass, or a smooth board (youcould stick some decorated transparent plastic such as Vnilia or Fablon on the board). Spread the glue with a foam roller,a long-haired brush, or, better, with your hands, on the surface of your paper. Peel the sheet off carefully before it dries out,and let it dry by hanging it on a wire. When folding, dampening the paper a bit will allow you to fix the shapes you want togive to your model.

Papier mouill / Wet-folding:Avec un vaporisateur ou une ponge, humidifiez chaque face du carr de papier avec de leau chaude. Attention ne pasdtremper le papier. Recoupez le carr, qui sest dform, pour obtenir un nouveau carr. Pliez le modle rapidement.Ncrasez pas les plis. Donnez au contraire de la rondeur. Enfin, terminez en schant progressivement le modle.

With a spray bottle or a sponge, dampen both sides of the square with warm water. Be careful not to soak the paper. Itshould not crinkle either. The action of the water may have turned the square into a rectangle, so you may need to cut itagain to get a new square. You will need to fold the model quickly, but take care not to crush all the folds too flat; what isreally wanted is a sort of roundness to some of them. Lastly, finish by drying the model progressively, letting it dry outcompletely over a full day.

Papier classique / Standard paper:Papier machine, papier cadeau, papier origami, kraft, papiers japonais washi ou kami, tous ces papiers supportent bien lepli. Cependant, les modles vieillissent mal et le modelage final est difficile. Enfin, il est ncessaire de prendre de grandesfeuilles (au moins 25 x 25 cm) ds que le modle prsente quelques complexits.

This covers the papers most commonly found: typing paper, gift paper, origami paper, Kraft, Japanese papers (washi, kami...).All these papers hold creases well. However, models made with this paper dont always age gracefully and final shaping isdifficult. Lastly, you need large sheets of paper (at least 25 x 25 cm) as soon as the model gets a bit complicated. _

I have been folding paper since theage of 3. At the beginning I only knewthe traditional ship and some paperairplanes. At the age of 5 I was givenmy first origami book by my mother.I practised origami sporadically until

I started studying at university in1989. At that time I was fascinatedwith modular origami. After somefrustrating attempts at creating myown origami modules, I turned tofigurative origami in 1994. In 1997 Ijoined the Italian origami association,the CDO, and since 1999 I haveparticipated in CDO conventions inorder to meet other paper folders.That gave me the opportunity toteach my models, to learn modelsfrom other creators and, most of all,to meet lots of new paper foldingfriends.

The inspiration for this baby dragoncame to me during the summerholidays of 2005. I was resting in thesun doodling with some metal foilpaper on a beach in Corsica. Thefirst version of this model was a 3Dbird, which already had eyes madefrom the two layers of paper thatcome out from the main part of thehead. I like dragons, as do manyother paper folders, so I thought ofslightly modifying the 3D bird toobtain a baby dragon. The head andwing design was good from thebeginning. But, the tail and rear legs

needed some extra adjustment fora satisfactory final shape. The winter2005 CDO convention contest wasdedicated to the Middle Ages andfantasy. During the train trip to SanMarino (the location of theconvention) I folded two babydragons from 20 cm x 20 cm orangeelephant-skin paper squares. Thecute appearance and ease of foldingthis model was valued by theconvention participants. I was askedto teach the baby dragon again andagain, even at the CDO conventionheld in the following years. For methis is the real and greatest reward:

to have made people happy byfolding a new shape,and to haveshared the joy of creating a neworigami model.

Writing a piece about Monsieur John Montroll when you are a folder yourself is like singing a karaoke versionof Love Me Tender before a gathering of Elvis look-alikes. It is tough.But this is the mission I have been assigned, so I will try my best.

If the art of origami had to be explained with a metaphor, I think a tree is the most appropriate image.Roots, a strong and massive trunk, and from this trunk, dozens of branches, both short and long, full of blooms

and leaves, dense and rich with a colorful, noisy, and disparate life.If origami was a tree, this tree would find its roots in the tradition of its century-old bases: bird, frog, windmill,kite All these unchanging models passed from generation to generation, from mother to daughter, from fatherto son, would be the inexhaustible resource that feeds the inspiration of yesterdays branches, and that makestodays flowers bloom and tomorrows buds grow.If origami was a tree, the trunk would be its strength, the backbone you can quietly rely upon. Akira Yoshizawawould be this trunk and all the origami masters would join him to make it even more robust, strong and majestic.And beyond, where the trunk turns to branches, you will find Legman, Harbin, Elias, Randlett, Oppenheimer,Grey, Cerceda all the ones that did so much to give origami its worldwide appeal.If the art of origami was a tree, every branch would start with the name of a great folder and the influenceshe brought.If origami was a tree, then I would be a flower somewhere at the end of a branch, one day in the light, the otherday in the shade, but I would feel good.And what about John Montroll? Would he be a trunk, a branch, a flower?No. If John was in my tree, I would put him on top of the trunk in the company of his fathers. To me, John isthe timeless link between synthetic and mathematical origami and artistic origami. There are very few whohave evolved in this area. Very few to have chosen the way of devoting their time to bringing their technicalknowledge to the masses in such an open manner. Very few to stick with this when a large number want toturn a popular art into an artistic movement, a bit autistic and reserved for an elite.With his remarkable work of synthesis and his unique view, John has become the link for past and futuregenerations towards a means of expression that becomes simple and accessible again, and, no doubt aboutit, more personal with time and artistic maturity.

To all of those that only see in Montrolls work angular, flat and disembodied models, I reply that such a visionmerely reflects their own perception of the world. When I open a book by John, every page is for me a masterclass. Every fold enriches me with its accuracy towards the geometry of the square and its respect towardsthe paper.When, for some people, Johns folding stops at the last step of the diagrams, I would say it actually starts there.Many people regard Montrolls work as a collection of models, I see it as a heritage with as many doors thatone day will allow me to reach a branch or, who knows, become its bud.

Thanks Monsieur Montroll for this magnificent gift.

Ilike creating clean and intuitiveorigami, and for this reason mymodels are simple. The membersof the CDO tell me I have onlyone fault: Im a smokingorigamista (sorry !).

A few days before leaving for theCDO convention in 2005, a newmodel was born: a sailing shipploughing through the waves.

the model was finished, I wantedto give it a sense of movement,but I realised that it was not easy.First I imagined swelling sails,then a waving flag but it wasntwhat I was looking for. I wantedsomething else.Then EUREKA!!!I imagined representing a sailingship with the wave on the sea,

the tangible effect of themovement.No sooner I said that, it was done I decided to exihibit the sailingship at the CDO convention eventhough it was not diagrammed.Later on, I put it back in a box inthe bottom of a drawer and thereit went to sleep, until on abeautiful day, Nicolas woke it up and here it is, ready to raiseits anchor and set sail foreveryone.

- Date : 2006- Level : Intermediate- Time to fold it : 30 mn

People dont talk enough about Giang Dinh, and that really is a shame! Could it be because Internauts are onlyinterested in designers who produce a lot of diagrams? Or in creators whose models include 250 steps and aremore likely to dumbfound their friends? Or maybe because his models look too simple to novices? Giang is oneof my favorite folders. Nobody else in the world is able to infuse as much emotion and sensibility into the artworks he presents to us. His work is very much in the same vein as that of Yoshizawa Sensei, where whatmatters is to give life to paper, to suggest rather than mimic nature, while minimising the number of folds andlayers as far as possible. This runs contrary to the path taken by many of todays designers, and in my opinionit is this that makes Giang's work interesting: what makes you happy, without caring about influences or trends.Let's not be mistaken: Giang's models are VERY complex. Art is a label to be earned. It is more than likely thatthe first results obtained with his diagrams will be, er... disappointing... You will need to try many times beforeyou can expect a satisfactory result, or even before you can be successful with wet folding. But if you are patientenough to practise over and over again, there is no doubt that the results you will get will be interesting andthat you will have reached another level of folding, even with other designers models. Seldom have I foundsuch a desire for perfection, be it in the models, the pictures, the diagrams - simply gorgeous - or his Web site.This is "quite simply BEAUTIFUL", and to me this is the greatest compliment we can pay him. Keep filling uswith wonder, Giang! Eric Joisel

Cat images have always played

their part in my imagination.Growing up in Vietnam, myfamily owned a number of cats.My feline pets first appeared ina pastel sketch in 1988, andother paintings and home-madeNew Year Greeting Cardsthereafter. My 1999 New Yearcard, the Year of the Cat, was ofa cat sleeping. Its sleeping bodyformed the shape of a full moon.

After sketching and paintingmany images of cats, it is onlynatural that I should create an

origami sculpture of one; adreaming cat. I had not seenone in origami form (nor have Iseen a dreaming dog). Theresult is here. I hope you enjoyfolding it.. I particularly enjoythis origami model because ithas no reference points. Origamimodels without reference pointsare fun. With each new fold theresult is different. For this piece,I recommend wet folding; it willhelp capture the softness of themodel.

Halle

- Nationality : Spanish- Lives in Spain- Born in 1969- Job : Financial adviser

The first thing that I learnt was, to learn! And so, as inlife, it is with origamiPeople wonder how and why I started in the fascinatingworld of origami. Life has taught me that I must write myown future, and to write it with sweat and tears.Through origami, I look for a door to my dreams, to enterinto a special dimension, using the language of paper,images, colors and silence, in which my dreams mightlive. I look and hoped to find a new dimension withinorigami.

For a long time I folded models created by other designers.One day, inspiration knocked at my door, but I wasntable to create. I needed new ideas, a new approach. Icould only see one way forward, to break rules, avoidfamiliar ideas and to try and find a new direction. If Ifailed, at least I had tried. If I achieved some success, Iwould have something both new and inspiring.The human brain is highly complicated and our solutionsoften tend towards complexity. The famous magician, FuManch, had the honour to perform before Albert Einstein.At the end of his performance, he asked Einstein to guesshow the trick worked. The solution he gave was verycomplicated. The correct solution (in fact the simplest)had not occurred to him. These models are my attemptto present the folder with the beauty of simplicity. I loveexternal simplicity that somehow represents deep

complexity within.The two models that I present here represent many hoursof work. Whilst passion and creativity are the maincharacteristics of all art, I also feel that the objective ofa good creator should be not only to astonish everyonewho looks at their work, but also to add beauty as wellas elegance, harmony, color and simplicity. I dont knowif I have actually achieved this, but it has always beenmy ambition, and as I strive to achieve it, I have developedmy own style.I invite you to approach this book by looking for the beautythat lies hidden within the mystery and the astonishment.I believe that with lot of modern origami, the main aim ofthe creator is usually the same: to overcome a technicalchallenge. In contrast, I try to express emotion in my workand hope to receive it in return from the sympatheticviewer. Origami is my personal and artistic means ofexpressing the emotion that I feel.In all my years of folding, I have dedicated my studiestowards finding and developing my own style, ignoringtrends towards complex techniques and mathematics.As time passes, I try to look at my work and feel a stylehas emerged. I have tried to be faithful to that style. Icontinue to search for beauty and art, trying both toentertain and astonish at the same time.People wonder: what is my creative approach? This ismy answer:

A wise master and his disciple meditate in front of alighted candle.The boy asks suddenly: where does the flame comefrom?The masters blows out the candle and replies If you can

tell me where the flame is, I will tell you where it camefrom....

Enjoy my work and search for your own flame!!Halle (translation : Nick Robinson)

The current trend of designingorigami with impressive technicalaspects and mathematicale q u a t i o n s h a s b r o u g h ttremendous advances in thetheo ry and p rac t i ce o f

paperfolding. Thanks to that,today we can design models thatwould simply be impossible toimagine intuitively.But let's be reasonable, thats onlyone of the possible ways to designamongst many others.For this bird I have purposelyavoided thinking about the optimaluse of paper and instead givenpriority to other thoughts. Noneof my designs has never been so"wasteful" of paper while so lightin appearance.The original idea came monthsago, when I thought about a birdwhose beak was made of twoequal halves, drawn perfectly andwithout unnecessary layers.With minimal observation itbecomes clear there is only oneway to achieve it and that is byusing the two opposite corners ofthe original square.The problem is the rest of the birdhas to be designed from thetriangle we get by folding thesquare along its diagonal. All thisenormous waste of paper would

be unthinkable in the world ofoptimized origami. But in ourworld, it is not only possible butdesirable, because there may bemany optimizations. In this case,I have optimized the use of paperin such a way as to create thebeak in a way that comes closestto what I had in mind.It's the concept and idea behindthe model that make it better andthere is no science behind this.

NoOrigami has been present in mylife since I was very young: first

at school then at university. Theturning point came with the USAconventions. Each of them wasan enchantment. First I justwanted to learn the model theteacher was teaching but thenmy curiosity increased and Ibecame really fascinated. I triedmy hand at creating simplethings myself, then cameminiatures and little by little I gotit. I understood how you coulddesign models and that is justincredible !I have made great friends and

due to a special model ofPegasus by Anibal Voyer I haveformed an origami group.Origami has always been partof my life and it will certainlycontinue to be there throughoutmy life.

In 2006, I was commissioned byDiscovery Channel to produce tenorigami designs on endangeredanimals for Animal Planet. One ofthe animals was a tundra wolf.

I was folding the wolf when a friendcame along and remarked that thebase I was using could be usedto fold a nice looking horse. Thatdid not sound interesting to me atthat time as I had already designeda horse.

Several months later, for want ofsomething to do, I decided to workon the suggestion. This is theresult.

I was drawn to origami many yearsago after watching Robert HarbinsTV series, Mr Right and Mr Left.A short time later, I managed tobuy a copy of Robert HarbinsSecrets of Origami. From thenon, I was really hooked.

It was not long before I startedcreating models of my own. Twoof my earlier creations, including a

simply ashtray, were published inRobert Harbins Origami 4 in1977.

Over time, I began focusing onanimal subjects, which reflectedmy love for nature. Diagrams formany of my origami creations havebeen published in the publicationsof origami societies around theworld as well as my first origamibook, Origami Goldfish.

Wet folding

Paper : 50 x 50 cmI started folding paper at the ageof about 10. In South Africa,origami is not very popular, so I

was folding in isolation, mainlyfrom a Robert Harbin book. Itwas in 1995 when we gotInternet, that origami becamemore serious for me. I boughtmany books on the net andimproved my folding skills. Istarted designing my own origamiin 1998. In 2003 I went to Londonfor 2 years and joined the BritishOrigami Society. Meeting otherfolders for the first time in my lifewas a very positive experience.I now live in Canada, and hopeto meet more origami enthusiastshere!

To me, the essence of a gorillalies in the massive shoulders andarms, the muscular chest, the bigbum and obviously the facialfeatures. This design neededmany layers for the face to shapeit in 3D and to be able to fold thefacial features instead of justshaping them. As soon as Ifigured out how to create the face,the rest of the model came easily.

The 3 dimensional shaping forthe head is easier than it looks.The folder can use his or her owninitiative to make the body 3dimensional. I hope you enjoyfolding this gorilla as much as Ienjoyed designing it!

Paper : 24 x 24 cmI discovered Origami when I was 4years old and I have enjoyed it eversince. In Japan, every child has theopportunity to experience Origami,because Origami is part of a childseducation. But it is not common fora person to keep practisingOrigami. In Japan, there is ageneral perception that Origami isonly for young girls, but I thinkOrigami is also an attractiveproposition for adults. I have foughtagainst this prejudice for manyyears by displaying my origamimodels, and proving that Origami isa kind of art, and a highly

intellectual puzzle.

I joined the Japan OrigamiAcademic Society, JOAS, 10 yearsago, and have developed fromthere where I met many people wholove Origami. Influenced by JunMaekawa and Fumiaki Kawahata, Istarted to design original models atthe same time.

I have only one ideal whendesigning Origami. It is that themodel is easily identifiable.

Everyone, whether for example,young or old, Japanese or foreignshould be able to figure out what itis at first sight.

I had occasionally folded paperever since my childhood, but itwas not until 1994 that I contactedthe Madrid branch of the Spanish

Origami Associat ion anddiscovered the incredible worldof paperfolding. By stages I beganto fold models by all the origamimasters of the world, trying moreand more complicated things, untilone day I invented my first model.After that, all my efforts werefocused on creating new modelsand showing them to my friends.I l ike models with colourchanges because I like usingboth faces of the paper. I havepublished several books but whatmatters most are the wonderful

experiences and meeting lots ofwonderful people from all overthe world.

Paper : 24 x 24 cm

4.

I invented this model at therequest of a friend who has amusical group called "JestersBlood". I tried with severaldifferent bases, but what wasimportant was to achieve colourchanges for the shoes, the clothesand the cap. I had problems doingthe tips of the cap. Drawing thediagram was difficult for mebecause the model has many

creasemarks and th ree-dimensional steps. Take care withsteps 32 and 33 because theyare three-dimensional. Sink thepaper carefully at steps 50 and51. If you have any questions,you can even write to me [email protected]

The birth of this model dates backsome years.The first attempt probably comesfrom 1999 or 2000 as these yearswere exclusively devoted toproducing insects.To be honest, the first version wasabsolutely disastrous, as I had

simply produced the samenumber and length of points asthe original insect. But the modelsuffered from bulkiness becauseof the over-abundance of ill-controlled layers.A second version was producedin the same vein as the first one.This time, I focused on the shapeof the insect and simply observedthe latter as if it were an origamimodel and not an organic being.I discovered then that Acrocinus-Longimanus was nothing morethan a frog base and that this

base already had all the featuresof the arthropod.A second model, much morecontrolled, came into being.During the course of 2003, Idisplayed my collection in amuseum dedicated to insects. Iwas faced with the real Acrocinus- until then I had only seen it onentomological plates. Confrontedwith the arthropod, my modellooked completely incongruous.I reconsidered my model for athird time and tried to find the bestfolds to match the original. Thisis the mixture you are nowdiscovering. Happy folding!

I started to practice origami whenI was six. My father taught me howto fold my first model, which wasa paper airplane.I have been folding other people'smodels for many years, but in 2001when I wanted to fold a spider, Icouldn't find any in the books. Asa result, I created my own spider,and that was the moment when Irealized I could design my ownmodels. I have published twobooks since then, I haveparticipated in many conventionsand just now I am the chairmanof the Spanish Association ofPapiroflexia.

Mantises are my favorite insects.I have had the privilege ofobserving many in my backgarden, including the Empusidae(stick mantis). I love insects, whichI have always considered to besome kind of aliens....The Mantis Boxing (acromantis) isfamous for having very broadforelegs that look like boxinggloves. There are some otherspecies which are also calledboxer.The phasmidae and the mantidaeshare almost the same bodystructure, but I modified the baseof my walking stick model and Iadapted it to make the head of themantis: it has very big eyes andpalpi just like the real insect.

Pandas are quite a popularsubject in origami, but none ofthe models I knew had thatfurball look that makes them thefavorite teddy bear of many kids.So I took on the job of designingone myself, with the goal ofcreating a fully 3D model, visiblefrom all sides: that is, with noopening under or behind themodel.I fairly quickly found a base thatallowed me to create the body,but the proportions I had initiallychosen did not leave me with

enough paper to make a decenthead. I therefore changed it,starting from 1/6ths and endingup with 2/9ths, the bestcompromise between final sizeand the paper needed. Oncethese general proportions werefound, I had to refine everyfeature: eye, nose, ear, bellyEach one has been worked outseparately, with dozens ofvariations, to lead to the versionpresented in this diagram. Thelast challenge was to make thepanda stay closed: that is whatthe pockets created in steps 37to 45 are used for; they also fillout the back of the model a bitmore.

I discovered origami first with myfather who taught me my firstmodels, then through some

occasional books. But I reallydiscovered all the universe ofOrigami much later with theFrench Origami Society, theMFPP. So I started to create myfirst models, and then Iparticipated in the French origamiconventions. Those meetingsare great moments to meet andshare with many other foldersand designers. They open yourhorizon and show the manyfacets of this art.
