Wetfold models

[Anine]

Hi!

I have some elephanthide paper, size A4. I wanna try some wetfolding, so which models will you recommend? It has to be possible to fold them from a square made of A4. Thanks in advance!

there are a couple of nice diagrams in Lionel Albertino's "Safari Origami" like the rhino and the hippo




Hideo Komatsu's Owl

his squirrel


Joseph Wu's Dumbo


Stefan Weber's squirrel


Neil Elias' Angel



wow, there are so many good models to be wetfolded

Hi Christian!

Thanks! Where can I find diagrams for Neal Elias' Angel? Searched the model database, but not sure if all the angels by Neal Elias is the same as this model?
Where in Germany do you live?
Have a nice day!

hmm... Neil Elias has at least two different angel models. I think that one is out of the "Miscellaneous Folds 2" booklet. you need some practice for most of his models, but he's surely one of the masters in origami.

I also like the Neal Elias' Angel very much.

Is there any diagram for Joseph Wu's Dumbo?

meh. i don't think komatsu's models benefit much from wetfolding. that's their beauty, IMHO--they look great with just any paper or folding method.

in general, any "open-belly" model benefits from wet-folding, imho. some kawahata dinosaurs come to mind.

Is there any diagram for Joseph Wu's Dumbo?

yes there are diagrams... can't remember where they are. the origami database seems to be unreachable.

The elephant diagrams are published in BOS magazine issue 245 in August 2007.
