The Origami Forum

On Friday, I folded my first model from a Crease Pattern. So now, to start off my gallery, I'll show you that model.

Older Models That aren't great, but mark a landmark in my folding history

Paper:8.5/8/5 letter paper (We have letter paper of all different colors)


Model: Wolf

Something weird happened to the wolf's paper when I accidentally got it in a bit of water.

Notes:
-Advice, comments, and constructive criticism wanted.
-I tried making tissue foil today for the first time. It feels way better than kami and printer paper, so hopefully I can make some more advanced models!
-The tissue foil is red, and I have these books that have some of the models in the difficulty range I'm looking for: Origami From Angelfish to Zen (Peter Engel), Origami Insects and their Kin (Robert J Lang), and Origami Zoo (Stephen Weiss and Robert J Lang), ODS2 (Robert J Lang). I'd like to fold a diagrammed model for my first attempt, so no CP's. What would you suggest?

Not bad, but I would definitely suggest using better paper in the future. Even foil paper works very well for beginners; you can buy a pack for only a few dollars.
I can see you have a lot of potential. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Baltorigamist!

Update coming: Kade Chan's Fiery Dragon, Robert J Lang's Flapping Crane, Robert J. Lang's Flapping Crane. I'll get them up as soon as I take some pictures (Should be better pictures this time.)

You use harder paper and it moulds how you fold. You can manage tears and creases more effectively from the experience of using A4 copy paper.

Main post updated. Under notes, read it, and tell me what I should fold, please. I'm having a tough time choosing.

Try maybe the blue crab in Origami Zoo by Lang/Weiss, or the longhorn beetle from Insects.

Hey Benlewis. Thanks for the input. I think I may try the black pine sawyer (I think that's what you mean by longhorn beetle).

nice work!

Thanks origamipete. I'm getting better, so hopefully my work will get even nicer

definitely! good luck!
