Re: [Origami] origami help
Thanks, The model doesn't lie flat so that could be the answer. I still have trouble picturing it without a valley fold somewhere. I'll have to see when I get there.

I am fold Quentin Trollip's elephant from Origami Sequence. In looking ahead to the tail section I noticed what appears to be an illustration error. In diagram 72, double rabbit earing the tail, it shows all mountain folds. That doesn't seem possible. Am I missing something? Tom Sulllivan

I originally wrote that the individual items are easy enough to find but to the best of my knowledge no one has combined them in a kit. The closest I can think of are the books and paper sold as a boxed set like the ones sold in bookstores. For example I recently received Won Park's "Extreme Origami" as a gift. It comes with fake paper money. Tom Sullivan

I don't know if origami can be registered online (www.copyright.gov) but that is the fastest and cheapest way to go. The form is form VA for visual arts. If you do it by mail than you have to send in the form, a copy of the artwork and a $85 fee. For more information see The Copyright Handbook by Stephen Fishman J.D. It is written for writers but is still very useful. Tom Sullivan

Unless my memory is faulty this is when John Montroll started publishing as well as Robert Lang, Stephen Weiss, Peter Engel, and translations of Kunihiko Kasahara and there may be others like the Isao Honda book previously mentioned.
