Design	: Michael LaFosse
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: Diagram by J.C Nolan
Book	: Advanced Origami
Video	: Origamiancy
Paper	: 9*9 inch one side coloured paper.

Earlier I had tried Michael LaFosse's Alexandar swallowtail butterfly .The instruction for this butterfly was available on the website by Michael LaFosse.

There were many more wonderful butterflies modeled by Michael Lafosse which I wanted to fold but could not find the instruction online neither I am that good at following the diagrams.Finally after one and a half years of folding Alexander swallowtail butterfly I found this video on YouTube by origamiancy for the model Alice Gray Butterfly by Michael Lafosse.The video was up by 2009 and I found it now that show how good I am at searching things on internet.

The instructions are quite clear.One thing to take care of ,is the instructions in the video starts with colour side up but if you want your butterfly to be colourful then start with White side up.

By the time your are finished the paper in the middle forming the body of the butterfly becomes so thick that its difficult to make further folds and it may rip so take care while folding it.

This one is a 3D model which looks like the barbie high heel shoes.

Model	: Origami Heel Shoes
Design	: Traditional
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction
Diagram	: Origami-club
Paper	:3*3 inch one side coloured square

Origami Heel shoes starts with a kite base.I would suggest to make it with a smaller paper instead of a big one.Though the model is 3D its better to be called a 2D as you can flatten and stick it on cards.If kept a 3D model it stands and gives a 3D view in the front view only .

Model	: Origami Penguin by Jo Nakashima
Design	: Jo Nakashima
Complexity	: Difficult
Folding Instruction
Video	: Jo Nakashima
Paper	:15 * 15 cm one side coloured square

One more from Jo Nakashima.A wonderful 3D penguin .This one is bit difficult but not too tough.The tough part is the precrease.One needs to have a lot of patience ( of course I have very little patience which is evident from the penguin I have folded).

Only suggestion is do start with a big piece of paper else it becomes difficult to follow the creases.
