折纸的艺术1---大白鲨

(Diagrams ©1999 by Joseph Wu)

This model was commissioned by the New York Times, and appeared in the business section of the Sunday,April 11, 1999, edition. It was designed on April 7-8, 1999. The tail construction borrows heavily fromJohn Montroll󰀬s blue shark that appears in Origami Sea Life. The body is based on my orca model.
