I didn't know where to put this, so I guess anywhere that has nothing to do with footbag sounds good.
I decided to explore the subject of origami recently and got a little carried away with this eastern style dragon concept. I think it looks 'alright', compared to masterpieces like this:
And oh yeah...ignore the 'Booty Hits' CD next to my dragon....it's my mom's....

It took me half an hour for the head, and all those pieces of the body took about 3 days. The pieces are just unfinished cranes, sorta look like arrowheads by themselves.
Cool.
Origami is awesome.
I made some crazy flowers for my girlfriend, and each one took, like, an hour. They were orchids and lillys. I researched all of these different patterns -- most were pretty lame and a lot of them looked the same.
The dragon looks cool.
Is that one that you didn't make a single sheet??
Nice toad, I made one last night - I can't memorize the steps! Grr...
If you're referring to the dragon on the bottom, thats not mine lol. But the one I made I can't really make a diagram out of - I kinda winged it the whole way through >.< But I could explain the way the tail is made. And as for the single sheet question, both of those are multiple sheet designs, mine took about 5 or 6 pages of paper, and the one on the bottom (one of Joseph Wu's creations http://www.origami.as/gallery.php?gallery=26&image=343) is made out of 5 pages of paper.
I kinda cheated on mine though, all those pieces of the tail are held together with FLOSS and a staple near the head.
