I googled for origami, finding Joseph Wu's site as number one, which is appropriate. But I also found a site that had the, ah, adult diagrams I had encountered, and others in a similar vein. Whee. Hm. I hope the diagram of the one I sweated over has been updated --
mnemex and I each folded one some time ago, all but swearing at the creator, whom, each time we consulted him, would helpfully inform us that a couple of steps we saw on the paper weren't really there or were drawn a bit off.
I really should fold more. At the very least, I should play with Engle's From Angelfish to Zen. His diagramming is particularly good. Montroll's drives me batty, but I suspect that's mostly me. Lang's also drives me batty, but I think that's at least partly him.
I found I could, more or less, fold a unicorn from Robert Harbin's diagrams and Dutch instructions -- it didn't come out great, but it came out. But I can't do a Fuse in the original Japanese. I was able to do some of her modular boxes in the books that are in English, and the diagrams look simpler there as well. Don't know if it's me or her -- it may just be that I was trying to use a seriously advanced book. I think I donated that to Origami USA at the annual convention a few years back.
