It depends how up you are on all the techniques:
Box Pleating
Hex Pleating
Circle folding
22.5 degree folding
Organic folding -I don't know the formal name... but like Giang Dinh (and many others)

Metal folding:
1. Folding paper, then casting it in metal
2. Using Metallic Clay papers, such as silver clay, then baking in a kiln.
3. Folding metallic foils, such as copper etc., that are expensive but can be folded like a thick paper.

Finally, are you proficient in the various techniques of wet folding: fully wet the paper and then fold, partially wet the paper in the early stages, dampen the paper during folding for an organic feel, and dampen the model at the end to help keep the model closed while it dries.
