      I&#x27;m having problems interpreting step 23, to arrive at 24.<p>The archived Japanese instruction wants to unfold the paper entirely, and then ... what? I&#x27;m stumped.

      &quot;Diagrammed by Kenneth Thompson&quot;. The name sounds familiar...

    I used to fold an origami unicorn design by Marc Kirschenbaum. I can&#x27;t find any instructions on the Modern Internet, but I used to fold it out of gum-wrappers while sitting in class.<p>The unicorn from the film itself wasn&#x27;t &quot;true&quot; origami, being a prop consisting of several pieces glued together, but it really popularized the idea of an origami unicorn and a number of the current designs were prompted by it.

    Are we losing old websites like that?<p>I actually was unaware that this warranted a website. When I was young, I had one origami book. I completed it to about 40%; wasn&#x27;t too bad but was far away from being really good. Origami is quite an art. These days I tend to watch youtube videos more than look at oldschool books but I loved that old handbook. Never folded a unicorn though.

    I recently picked up an origami book and started practicing in dull moments. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with phone addiction.

      Can you share any tips on good origami books for beginners?

        The nice one I found randomly in a store is by Adeline Klam. (originally in French, but I see there&#x27;s an English version)

    I used to do origami obsessively in my youth, and recently picked it up again while spending time with my nephew. I&#x27;ll have to give this one a go!

    Its not foldable from one paper sheet?
    • jcl6 hours ago
      Correct… they “cheated” a little to make the props for the movie. There are other designs for single-sheet unicorn, winged unicorn, and Pegasus — particularly the ones from John Montroll — but they look a bit different from the movie props, and are harder to fold.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;johnmontroll.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;dragons-and-other-fantastic-creatures-in-origami&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;johnmontroll.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;dragons-and-other-fantastic-c...</a>

        Wow, those look fantastic!<p>I love Blade Runner (I&#x27;m obsessed with it), but the unicorn origami never clicked with me. These ones look much better.

          And then you have the works of Satoshi Kamyia which is on an even higher level <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;origami.ilyazadornov.com&#x2F;origami&#x2F;2021&#x2F;unicorn-satoshi-kamiya&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;origami.ilyazadornov.com&#x2F;origami&#x2F;2021&#x2F;unicorn-satosh...</a>

            Wow, impressive! Though I don&#x27;t dig that &quot;crumpled&quot; style as much, maybe a bit of it but not this much.

    • skrebbel6 hours ago
      Okay?
      • IAmBroom5 hours ago
        Origami by definition is folded from a single, square sheet.

          When people write a statement and then tack on a question mark they force people to guess what they mean. Is it a typo? Is it an observation and the question mark is supposed to somehow signal disapproval? Or is it an actual question, with a little grammar error that&#x27;s not uncommon for non-native English speakers?<p>Maybe this is just me being weird but I simply don&#x27;t understand why people think a question mark means &quot;, and that&#x27;s stupid for obvious reasons that I can&#x27;t be bothered to spell out and therefore I disapprove&quot;.<p>Admittedly my reply was even worse so yeah, pot, kettle.

    Interesting it starts off the same as a crane
    • etrvic6 hours ago
      As many origami folds do, I believe
    • the_af6 hours ago
      Am I the only one who starts folding an origami design, gets distracted, and somehow ends up with either a crane or a frog?
      • IAmBroom5 hours ago
        I got a rock.

          I always end up with a Frank Gehry building.
          • ge963 hours ago
            Wow those are trippy like a building going through a dimensional rift or something<p>Some you could call a Dr. Seuss house the ones more boxy in appearance than curved
