Although it has been mentioned before, let me re-add my recommendation for Talo Kawasaki's absolutely wonderful bat - Sara Adams's excellent video instructions are here: http://youtu.be/_7vt9p7cLVQ and it's available in print form in Issue 5# of Creased. It is a simple model, though the final creasing into the flapping pose takes a little practice to get right, as it involves a crease that doesn't go all the way to the edges, which can confuse new folders. This model has one of the very best flapping motions I have ever seen, and the sound it makes is fantastic. (The print diagrams do not do it justice - see the video to experience the movement/sound. I passed this model by in the print form - it just didn't look all that interesting - but am hooked now that I have folded it!) If you find bats creepy, you will *not* like the model, it's very lifelike if you flap it and wave it around. I love bats, so it just makes me happy. :) I cannot wait to teach this model at the OrigaMIT convention at MIT this weekend! Sparkly black Stardream text-weight paper works really, really well...
