Bulldog bookmark by Christine Edison

 From the (apparently now defunct) blog "Flotsam and Origami Jetsam," entry of 15 August 2010 at https://cedison.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/bulldog-bookmark-instructions/

(This entry was made in State College, PA, on the eve of the annual AAUW book sale, hence the choice of subject matter, although I suppose it could equally well have been to commemorate a dog show.)

Teddy Bear by ??

 Made with two squares (one of them a third smaller along the side) and a tiny bit of double-sided tape. From an online blog called (apparently) "Goo Blog". My figure doesn't quite match the one in the diagrams. (https://blog.goo.ne.jp/shun2cb/e/271baaae336857efd73e204b5cc7cb7f). My Google Translate skills are not good enough for me to figure out the name of the creator.

Regular tetrahedron skeleton by Tomoko Fuse

 Made with 6 squares. From Tomoko Fuse's Three Dimensional Karakuri (Origami Land). (Not sure of the translation; another source calls it "Three Dimensional Trick-Unit Origami". I thought "karakuri" were Japanese automata.)

Sunflower by Tomoko Tanaka(?)

From Tomoko Tanaka's Origami Shikishi Hundred Flowers ["shikishi" = colored paper?]

Center is made from a separate square of paper.

 I'm unclear about the authorship of this model and book. I think it's either jointly authored by Tomoko Tanaka and Makoto Yamaguchi, or else Yamaguchi was the editor. (Yamaguchi owns "Gallery Origami House," the publisher.)
