INTRODUCTION Having been introduced to Origami, like so many others, through the Robert Harbin paperbacks, I joined the BOS in 1983 and for several years collected as many books and sets of instructions as possible.

It was not until late 1987 that

I seriously considered inventing my own models, and most of the better ones date from as recently as mid-1988. Although most types of Origami interest me to some degree, I tend to favour animals as subjects to fold.

One or

two of the models in this book are fairly simple, but most are aimed at the intermediate folder, and for this reason explanations of symbols and bases have purposely been omitted.

If necessary these can be found in most good

Origami books.

The only supplementary inclusion of this type

is the description cf how to make 'A'-sized paper from any other squa re or rectangle, as this is perhaps less widely known. When trying to create new models, I rarely have a definite goal in mind.

Se tting oneself t oo particular a goal

can block off other avenues of development which may prove more interesting, and so I prefer to experiment with different ideas until something promising appears.

Often the

model can change considerably in the final stages, or else techniques can be re-used in different contexts (see ' Comments and Additions' on page 37). Finally, I would like to thank Jeff Beynon for doing the photographs, my brother Fergus for additional artwork and help with the layouts, John Cunliffe for general advice and assistance, Joan Homewood for the typing and David Petty for checking the diagrams.
