I'm a begginer, or semi-begginer to origami. Before the end of this summer, I only had knowledge with a younger children origami book, teaching you how to make the most elementary designs. I just then learned the universal system, since the book used a different method, and I was eager to make new origami figures. I could only make very few models, since more than halfway through others I got stumped with the directions. I came very close to making the Balrog, but near the end, I had done everything right, just the paper got too thick. I think I need thinner and larger paper to complete my future origami pieces, and I can't wait to go to the art store soon.

Welcome to the forum!

(oh and good paper doesn't neccesarily have to come from the artstore, in fact, I've never found any good paper in art&craft stores where I live. I just make it a habit to check every store I go to for things like thin packaging paper etc.)

i get a lot of my supplies from wal-mart! they have a lot of shiny, thin wrapping paper. the paper also comes in red, orange, green, blue, black, white, and gold! they also have a wide variety of tissue paper. they even have spray adhesive there! cutting boards, exacto knifes, you name it! if my wal-mart has this stuff, then yours should too.

You see, there are some countries with NO good paper in our world as ours

Also if I remember having heard the name somewhen (maybe in a movie), I haven´t ever seen a wal-mart, don´t know if there is one in Europe.

Edit: Just read that there where some in germany but got saled to the metro group this year because of insolvency.
