The Origami Forum

This year, I am setting myself some (not too serious!) origami-related targets.

- Try some more models from CP only - I've only managed a few simple ones like the Joisel Dwarf so far.
- Enter all the monthly challenges - even if I'm not completely satisfied with my result...
- Work on the "finishing" of my models with wet-folding etc.

Anyone else got some targets they are aiming for?

My targets are like yours

I'll try to fold more models from CP (I only made the Eric Joisel's Dwarf and the Brian Chan's Dobsonfly)
Refold the models that I only folded with bad or normal papers (like the LaFosse's Koi, Kamiya's Wizard and Quentin Trollip's Orangutan)
And finally finish the Ancient Dragon (I'm stuck on steps 65-67)

Fold Jang Yong Ik's Honey Bee (CP in Creased Magazine #5)

Fold more models from CP (I understand them, even the ultra-complex ones, its just that I usually avoid them)

Design some more of my models and diagram them.

I'll try to explore 22.5 degree techniques. More importantly, just find time to fold.

1. try to fugure out cp's.
2. design more models.
3. diagram more models.
4.fold more complex models.

I'd like to get back into designing... once my AutoCAD license ran out I stopped designing... I want to get back to it and try out some of my old design ideas that never got off the ground

I would like to start working on more CP's and designing more.

the cp i would like to fold would be barn owl by Robert Lang

I'd like to understand Inkscape! Right now I can't even do a reverse fold! My origami book will never happen if I can't figure out this dumb program. I don't understand it and I also don't understand how everyone else does, I feel like I'm so behind

Try jonakashimas YouTube channel theres some inksape tutorials

Believe it or not, they don't cover reverse folds... I can find landmarks and fold over a single layer.

1. Fold one of Joel Cooper's masks
2. Get some elephant hide and start wetfolding more
3. Design something cool...

if you need help on these steps, Tadashimori has an excellent help video on youtube that explains the hard steps. That's how i figured it out

I already figured out how to do it . But thanks anyway.

For 2012, I aim to design at least 50 original models.

I also aim to design a two-in-one model, that is: two subjects in one sheet of paper, like Elias' bullfighter and bull model.

I'd like to be able to fold Quentin Trollip's White Rhino (Origami Sequence) by the and of the year.
