Cardinal by Michael G. LaFosse
The instructions called for "duo paper" colored red on one side, black on the other. I just used a red and a black sheet back to back and folded them as if they were a single sheet.
From Michael G. LaFosse's Advanced Origami.

Cow by Yehuda Peled
I couldn't quite figure out how to make the ears, and the body looks too long. Not sure if it's the fault of the diagrams or me.
From British Origami #307 (December 2017). This was a free issue on the B.O.S. website; I don't own a hard copy of it.

Spherical wrapping by Jun Mitani
Made from an octagonal sheet of card stock. Not really what I'd call "origami." More like "paper engineering." From Jun Mitani's Three-Dimensional Origami with Beautiful Curves.

Crow by Toyoaki Kawai
I have only a very bad photocopy of this book and cannot find any information about it. To the best of my (er, Google Translate's) ability to translate, this is Toyoaki Kawai's Origami II: Fairy Tale Theme (thematically arranged around children's stories). The particular story here seems to be "The Crow and the Pitcher" (crow drops pebbles in pitcher to raise the water level so he can drink).

Frog by Kunihiko Kasahara
From Kunihiko Kasahara's Super Esoteric Works for the Enthusiast (also translated as Highly Challenging Origami Models for Maniacs). I have not been able to find any information about this book; it appears to have a 1976 copyright date. I do not own this book, just a poor photocopy of it.
