I also found this diagram, which is the same as the one you mentioned.
Balanced Heart (M Gardiner):

Well just to clarify from my point of view, thanks Sy Chen for mentioning
it.
I would claim independent invention (be it reinventing the origami wheel)
and publication (online and broadcast) of the design under discussion. My
diagram sequence is slightly different to
http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-heart.html but the model is the same.
Certainly Young's action model preceded mine (published in 1996) though I
was unable to be aware of it as Francis Ow's heart origami book was out of
print at the time. I wrote to him to ask about using a different model of
his in the Australian TV series I was shooting, but unfortunately he didn't
respond, I did try.
So I sat down and tried to find the simplest way to fold a heart that was
two sided, and the result was the balanced heart, and I attributed my
original inspiration to back to Ow.
The heart on this site http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-heart.html is not
attributed to anyone. The site is registered to a woman in Adelaide
Australia, her site was registered in 2007, and I published a year earlier
in 2006 http://www.abc.net.au/tv/sundayarts/txt/Sunday4June2006.htm
