Snail [pdf]

This is a set of instructions to fold an origami snail from a single square. The document consists of three pages and twenty-one illustrations. Although this is a low intermediate level origami project, prior experience with reading origami diagrams is recommended.

The clever twisting sequence used in the shell portion has been used before by a number of origami artists. This model flaunts the technique, and keeps the remainder of the model simple to highlight the curve of the valve.
