Fox's head by David Brill
From British Origami no. 153 (April 1992). Another failed fold. How the heck does the thing hold together?
Cricket by Yoshihide and Sumiko Momotani
From Yoshihide and Sumiko Momotani's Origami: Image and Creation. (This is yet another failure in a long line of attempted folds this month; I can't get the model to look anything like the final drawing.)

Japanese raccoon dog/tummy-drum by Yoshihide Momotani
From Yoshihide Momotani's Trick Origami. I'd have to classify this as a failed model. The paper is very thick around the head; I gave up trying to shape it. Need much bigger, thinner paper.

Baby starling (traditional or else Murray and Rigney)
From a piece of paper shaped like a 5-pointed star. From William D. Murray and Francis J. Rigney's Fun with Paper Folding and Origami (I have two copies of this; the older printing is entitled Paper Folding for Beginners).

Chicken by Jirō Ueda
From Jirō Ueda's Fun Origami. I made a few extra cosmetic folds to the beak. This appears to be a fairly old book—copyright date is 1955.

Five-Four Tesselation by Eric Gjerde
I think I have the manual dexterity to finish this, but I'm not sure I have the time or the patience (and this was a beginner's project!). From Eric Gjerde's Origami Tesselations.

Gazelle by Akira Kawamura
Made from a 42 x 14 rectangle (I used graph paper). From Akira Kawamura's Origami Animals in the New Style.
To me, this is not origami, or at least, not the kind of origami I want to do—although I have to admit, it bears a striking resemblance to Neal Elias's "box-pleating" technique (as I remember it, anyway).

Cube by Haruo Hosoya
From Pixel, vol 2, no. 1 (Mar/Apr 1991). (As I look at the photo I think maybe I assembled it incorrectly.)
