Seth posted a photo of this model, and soon after there was a request on the Origami Forum for someone to reverse-engineer it. Being the r/e junkie I am, I gave it a shot, and got pretty close, so I asked Seth if I could post a CP, and he said yes! So here it is. Thank you, Seth!

Diagrams (well, a progressive crease pattern) are right here.

*UPDATE* Google has blacklisted parts of the file hosting service I use to post the diagrams. I've moved this one over to a separate part of their server and it seems to be working, but just to let you all know-- it's not my content that's causing the warning, the whole files.getdropbox.com subdomain has been blocked. The people at dropbox are doing everything they can to fix the issue, and if it's not resolved soon, I'll switch to a new hosting service for the .pdf diagrams.

Spilled Cup of Water, by Andrew Hudson

Spilled Cup of Water, by Andrew Hudson, originally uploaded by Origami Weekly.

This model was inspired by one of our previous posts, a Cup of Water by Silas Vriend. I was sitting here, wasting away in the summer heat, thinking of nice, cool things like water, and flipping through Flickr photos, when I saw Silas' post, and an idea formed in my head of how to fold this.

Diagrams here.

Some advice-- use something that will hold a crease well, not foil; and fold from printer paper or larger, step 25 is really, really hard to do if you've never done those before. I should also say, the lines made in step 18 are 22.5º

If you get stuck on the last step, try taking a look at some of Philip Chapman-Bell's work-- he's used similar twist closures before.

Hey there folks, we're back from vacation this week with diagrams for Davor Vinko's Head. It's a nice three-dimensional model, with pretty good diagrams-- and even better, it's closed all around except for the bottom! I thoroughly enjoyed folding this, and I think you all will too.

Here are the diagrams.

Continuing on the theme of last post, I've got another Komatsu-inspired bird design.

Note that the tail is done slightly different in the photo than in the diagram-- I changed my mind after folding it and taking photos, but that was my last sheet of black/white kami so I can't refold it until I go to the paper store!

Hoopoe, by Andrew Hudson

Hoopoe, by Andrew Hudson, originally uploaded by Origami Weekly.

It's week 25, and we're doing good-- Now that the spring semester is over, I have some time to do side projects, on top of Origami Weekly. This week's model is the result of a study in imitation, based on the work of Hideo Komatsu, which I've been folding a lot for the past two weeks. It's nonaxial, yet still falls easily on a grid, and the form of the base renders most shaping unnecessary. This model also utilizes color-changes, and is quite foldable from commercial origami paper.

Week 23, and I've been working on a big project-- designing and diagramming this model. While I did the last couple pages of diagramming a little hastily to get it out on time, I still think this is one of my best posts to date, and i hope you enjoy folding it as much as I did!

Some advice-- fold especially accurately for this piece. It's got some strange symmetry, so make sure what you're doing checks out with what the diagram says to.
