Origami Pond Turtle

This turtle is folded from a single square of handmade paper by Michael LaFosse. Though not visible in this view, the plastron (belly plate) of this creature is included with this method.

Designed by Michael G. LaFosse in 1975
This example was folded by Michael in 1999, and in the collection of Richard L. Alexander.
