This gallery contains a collection of everything that doesn't fit into the earier galleries. There are a lot of old photos here, mostly of animals, and a few unique subjects that I don't think have ever been designed before - have you heard of another origami Total hip replacement?

This chess set was the main piece for an exhibition in July 1998 at the Kaetsu Centre, Cambridge UK. It was part of a Japanese Arts Festival held by the University with the Japanese Ambassador as the guest of honour. Several of the pieces below were on display that day.
I have finally finished the diagrams for this. Click on the 'Diagrams' section to see how to fold this.

I've seen several photos of Hideo Komatsu's tiger on the web and it looks a jolly fine model. I've never seen the diagrams, and from the crease pattern on his website, it looks a rather tricky model to fold. This design started out as an attempt to make a simpler model, with more efficient usage of the paper. In the end, I added a long 'strip-graft' in the centre of the square to make the face and stripes in the tail, and things started to become a little more complicated...

I've been working on elk designs for ages and most have come from various forms of box pleating. This is no exception. Inspired by Robert Lang's Bull Moose I tried dividing a square of paper into sixths and seeing what sorts of bases I could generate. This model is the final result from about 20 attempts and seems to capture both the elegence of the elks form and the complexity of the antlers.

One thing that I've noticed about rhinoceroses whenever I've seen them close up is how big their ears are. No model I've seen (including my previous designs) seems to quite capture this. This new design uses a completely new base which makes very efficient use of the paper - a 10 inch square produces a 7 1/2 inch model.

Another challenge posed by an online friend - she wanted a duck-billed platypus. This model was designed, folded and photographed in under two hours. Its a variation of a windmill base, folding the square into thirds first, and keeping one flap inside the model - this forms the front feet and bill. The model is not as complex as it looks. Honest!

Somewhere on the old diagrams section of this site are diagrams for a cow. When looking at these old diagrams, I suggenly noticed that it would be very easy to open out the centre of this design to create a 'two-tone' model. The head is almost completely re-designed.

This scene features two models from 'African Origami' by John Montroll. The zebra makes excellent use of both sides of a sheet of origami paper. The Rhino is one of my favourite, if only for the slightly dim looking expression on its face.

This eagle was one of my early attempts at wetfolding. This technique involves folding a slightly damp sheet of paper quickly. When the model dries, it has a much more solid 3D feel to it. This particular design. by Robert Lang, is in the Book 'Origami Zoo', co-written by Stephen Weiss.

I've always wanted to include a picture of my ass on the Internet :-) In the UK, the word 'ass' refers to a donkey like creature, rather than any Americanism for the Gluteal region.

I've got many pieces that I'm sure I'll never fold again. This stag is one of them. Quite how I got so many points on the anters, or the mane, I really can't remember. All I know is that the folds are locked together, and I'm worried that if I unfold it, I won't be able to put it back together!

This uses the same base as one of my unicorns, although the finished model looks quite different. There is lots of paper to use for a neck or head features and you can form quite slender legs. Some day I'll diagram these two, but I've got older versions somewhere on this site.

This model was folded while on call one night. I uncovered a new base that seemed to make this design a far better use of the paper than some of my other animal models. My prototype was left in the Orthopaedic seminar room - the following morning one of the consultants commented 'I wonder who was on last night?'

I'm not really a great fan of modular origami, and even less of a designer. However, while messing about with frog-bases, I suddenly had an idea. I had recently folded the 'Jackstone', a classic model in a recent BOS magazine, and thought that I could produce a modular version. With a bit of a variation, this two-tone version was the final result.

I'm pretty sure that this is the first origami model of this subject! Have just spent six months working as a junior Orthopaedic doctor, I assisted in surgery to put many joint replacements into patient, hip replacements being the most common. My consultant supervisor, Mr Rawlins, challenged me to come up with a design - he was rather impressed with the final result.

I think 'Ikea' is Sweedish for 'crowded'. Certainly, when I went to the Ikea store in North London to buy some furniture, I could hardly move. Anyway, when I got the shelves home, I discovered that I had a talent for assembling them. Oh yes, theres some origami models on top of the new shelves too.

Mabel and George are my mother's two cats. They have a love of origami - see here. Here is a quick origami sketch of them. The cat diagrams are in the animals section on this website.

Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, Mushroom, Mushroom! If you have no idea what I'm on about, click here. To my knowledge, this is the first time someone has tried to fold Weebl's badgers from paper.
