MY MODELS (Diagrams)
Over the years I have created a bunch of origami models, the result of the inspiration of the moment or as part of various projects. I am glad to share with you my little contribution to the rich common repertoire of origami, from which I have enjoyed and learned so much. If you fold some, I’ll be happy if you send me a photo to share on the web!
Permission to teach the models
You can teach how to fold my models as long as it is for educational and non-profit purposes. For other uses, please contact me first and ask.
Diagrams
Some people have been kind enough to make diagrams of my models. Remember to always recognize this valuable task that allows you to learn how to fold them yourself. The diagrams are for private use only and mostly under the Creative Commons license. If you want to use any of the diagrams for any other purpose, please contact me first and ask.
TIC TAC TOE (TRES EN RATLLA)
I was looking for a tic-tac-toe for the Spikey Origami Games project but none of the origami ones I had seen really convinced me. Using a Masu box as a base, this tic-tac-toe came to me. I hope you have fun folding it and playing with it!

EXCAVATOR FOR GIL (EXCAVADORA PER AL GIL)
One day in 2019, my son asked me to fold him an excavator and since I didn't know how to make one... I had to improvise one. This is the result.
