Diagrams

Here are some folds I've created over the past few years. Having started off favouring complex work, I now try to create simple, elegant designs. Those who think simple folds are simple to create should have a go! There is a fairly complete listing of diagrams I've had published (excluding origami convention books, where there are simply too many designs to list).

I have several paper plane designs on the Guardian newspaper site. These include Triplane / Little Nicky / Space Shuttle / Hawkeye / Gomez / Locked / Delta / Needle

Click on the pic/title below to view diagrams. There's one vintage hand-drawn set (for the Cheshire Cat), the rest are either GST Designworks, or the more recent ones are produced using Adobe Illustrator. I freely admit to being rubbish at creating expressive hands for my diagrams. I'd dearly love to be able to produce hands like those drawn by Mugumi Biddle! However, kunz-meister Paulo Mulatinho kindly drew one or two for me and I've added them to the library of symbols I regularly use.

These designs are all copyrighted and I'll protect that if necessary. The spirit of origami (as I see it) is about sharing, but also about common courtesy, so please ask before reproducing them in any format. If you see any of these for sale in an e-book, please let me know. They are the curse of the creative world. For specific guidance, check out the Origami Artists and Creators site.
