Origami Models and where to find them
Below, you see a list of models of eight of the origami books I own.
At the
Origami archive of the University of Groningen, there is a much more
complete list, and thus this list is further discontinued.
Difficulty classification
! |
Easy |
!! |
Intermediate |
!!! |
Complicated |
!!!! |
Very complicated |
!!!!! |
Almost impossible |
In some cases, I copied the classification from the book; in other cases,
I made it up myself: email me if you disagree. In some cases, it was some
time ago I made the model myself, and I hope I remember those complexities
right. In many cases, the classification is rather arbitrary, and may be
slightly wrong. Please email me possible corrections.
