People who make music aren't always called composers, and what they make aren't 
always called compositions.  That's really just what we call classical 
musicians.

More often they're called songs, or sometimes just music, and the people who 
make them are called musicians.

And if a musician makes her own music, or rather she plays the song of another 
person, she'll still be called a musician, but I guess in the latter case the 
thing she makes is called a cover, interpretation or something else.  But you 
could still say that she's playing a song, 

Origamists can all have the same title even if they don't invent original work 
I think.  And what we all make can just be called origami.  Though "an origami" 
is a pretty bad expression unfortunately.

It seems inevitable that we'll use different words for origami models depending 
on how we view them ourselves, or how we want others to view them.  Calling an 
origami model a composition makes it sound complex, but calling all origami 
models compositions doesn't seem appropriate considering that many are meant 
for children to enjoy, in other words not complex.  Most origamists are a lot 
more like pop/rock/hiphop musicians then they are like classical composers I 
think. They're even more like amateur musicians, since very few pursue origami 
with as much dedication as the average musician who practices daily for hours 
and even at a very young age might dream of making a living with their skill.  

I try to use the word sculpture a lot on my website, because I want people to 
think of my models as valuable art works, as permanent, and as a thing you 
might want to someday own.  I also like sculpture because, though it doesn't 
convey all the ways an origami sculpture is unique and different from other 
sculpture, it's appropriate enough, and anyway the context always makes up for 
what it lacks. If someone else was to do a rendition of one of my works, I'd 
still like to call it a sculpture, but obviously I'd need to use another word 
(like a just did with "rendition") to really tell the whole story.
