Pokeballs
Poke, Great, Ultra, and Master ball (left to right). I forgot the "M" on the master ball, but oh well.
TOTORO!
Yay for totoro! This one was kinda messed up because the grey was too light to contrast the white >.< but it's the effort that counts right? meh
Panda
This is a panda I made out of white and purple paper. I cut out some paper for the ears, hands, eyes, and bamboo
Penguin
This is a penguin I made out of the same pieces that make a swan. I used a lighter purple for the body and a darker purple for the wings. Yellow outlined the chest and white was used for the chest and face. I made this without following anything which shows how versatile this type of origami is.

Connecting the triangles
This is how to connect the triangles. Make sure that a triangle's flaps are not inserted into both of another triangle's pockets. One one triangle for each flap.
One Triangle
This shows how to make one triangle.
1) Take one 1/32 piece and fold in half to make a long rectangular piece.
2)Fold that piece the opposite way in half.
3) Take one of the two strips and fold it down 90 degrees
4) This should be what you end up with. repeat for the other strip.
5)Take this piece and open it up.
6) You should see something like this. Fold both corners down.
7) Now fold the two parts down to make a triangle shape.
8) Fold this in half to make a smaller triangle.
9) Ta-da!You did it(hopefully)! Congrats! Your life goal is fulfilled!
Size of paper for each piece
This shows how small each piece in the swans, peacocks, etc should be. One piece is 1/32 of a 11in x 8.5 in piece of paper. This is normal printing paper. Rip/cut as shown. Instructions for making one triangle is in another post.
Two Swans
These are two swans made of around 440-475 pieces each. I never bothered to find out the exact number >.> This type of origami, sometimes called modular origami, is used to make many things: swans, peacocks, watermelons, pandas, penguins, pikachus, fish, dragons, etc.
