wow, the Black Pine Sawyer is a very good model, congratulations :) (well, the bat isn't bad neither *fg*)

yesterday I've folded a mouse

maybe I should fold a cat to hunt the mouse :)

and I folded a couple of margharete stars:

Are the margharete stars three dimentional?
Did you invent the mouse?

the stars are very three dimensional

the diagrams can be found on the german paperfolding page
http://www.papierfalten.de

or the direct link:
http://www.papierfalten.de/doc/diagrams/margastern.pdf

sadly for most of you: the instructions are in german only. but the diagrams aren't very good, so you probably wouldn't care if they are in german or not ;) the designer is Wilhelm Möller.

Did you invent the mouse?
nope, I've downloaded the diagrams from Nicolas Terry's page, a simple single page diagram :)

I supppose that the mouse is José Angel Iranzo's design, isn't it?

Stars are very nice. I'll make a few and hang on a christmas tree this year. :)

I have folded Satoshi's unicorn lately. It can be seen at my site.
I need to make another one because I gave it as a present. :)

I have uploaded three other pics of a star, which are better:

you should do that, yes :) they are nice, and after you know how to fold them, they are quite easy to do. maybe I should translate the diagrams?!

truly a masterpiece in origami. I folded it a couple of times, before it came out good enough :)

you can upload pictures here:

http://www.imageshack.us/

it's easy and self-explanatory.
after you've "hosted" that picture, you will get a couple of links to share the picture in different ways.

couldn't be more easy, couldn't it? :)

Hey, that's a very cool link - I'll add it to the FAQ section. Please remember when posting links and images that the width does not destroy the layout of the page (ie, make sure image width does not exceed 500px).

If after posting you realise that the URL runs through the page and destroys the layout, please edit your post and use the BBCode to shorten the URL;

http://www.verylongurl.co.uk/ should become

Link Text

If your image is more than 500px across please use an Image Editor (such as Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, Irfanview) to resize the picture to its new width.

If you do not have the means to optimise your images for the forum, please contact a forum moderator who will be pleased to help.

I always wanted to fold that, never got around to actually doing it.

Try tissue foil, I think it will make the spikes hold together more.

at Image Shack (the link I gave you), they give you also a thumbnail-link. that will solve that problem :)
