What's a stretched frog base?

SkyLeonhart · Post by **SkyLeonhart** » May 5th, 2010, 7:39 am

hello everyone im typically new to the origami scene, i need to learn how to make this base to create a model that i'm trying to make. But i've searched a ton and no results seem to lead me to learning how to do it.

Can someone help me explain how to do it or if there's a source of information that I can learn to do it from?

Thanks

thanks for taking time to reply. I'm going to give it a try see how it goes, wish there was a picture of the finished result just in case im doing it wrong, but better than nothing. Thanks so much

edit* i just tried to fold one but now i know what you mean by just a "gist" lol. Can I ask where you learned to do the stretched frog base? from that book? there seems to be no reference of the "stretched" frog base anywhere.

Are there any other sources of where I can find how to do it?

For what model exactly do you need it? Where are the diagrams located?

Saw this topic and planned to help out a bit. First time making diagrams, so if there are comments, errors or tips or whatever, feel free to PM me.

Here are the diagrams I made:

FlareglooM: nicely done diagram. I haven't folded through it, but it looks clear. It might a good reference to be stored by someone like Sara Adams or Joseph Wu.

Thanks,

I agree that the diagrams are very well done.
