Origami
Lines:
Em, I say hang 'em from your ceiling.
VVeet:
anything with 8 tenticles is going to be tough and will probably need string thin paper to make.
I'v been trying to find a good pattern for a unicorn for quite a while, any sugestions would be apreciated.

A boring summer internship and a large stack of note paper can lead to this.

If you have a college near you check out the bookstore/wherever they sell students art supplies for large sheets of tracing paper. Our bookstore sells sheets that are 24in by 36in or so for about a buck a sheet. For most complex models, like Engel's or Lang's mollusks, a sheet of paper smaller than 15in or so is just too small. As far as 15in paper goes, rolls of parchment paper can be bought at the grocery store and it works fairly well. If you're using parchment paper or any other paper that comes on a roll you can iron your squares to make them flat, or, what really works is to place them in a dry mounting press for about a minute.
For finding good models of just about any subject check out a site called "Gilad's Origami Page", it has galleries for just about any subject you can think of, so you can find a model you like and the book it came from. The unicorn from Roman Diaz's "Origami for Interpreters" is pretty nice, but that book is also expensive and hard to find, but if you really want to make it then its worth it. The Hippocampus in that book looks pretty amazing too.

Guys, look what I made.
It's supposed to be an X-wing. It kinda does look like one but the directions were a bit confusing so it's also a bit awkward.
