The Origami Forum

Hello! I'm Michael from Romania. After being on the forum for a while I decided to open my own gallery topic. I know I have't posted much but I'll try to be more active.
Here are some of the models folded by me. I won't post older models but you can still see them on my Flickr Photostream All of the models are designed by other people because I don't have own designs yet. For details about paper go to my Flickr.

Spread Hexagons (Eric Gjerde) by Gross Michael, on Flickr

Both models are folded and framed for the Origami Gift Exchange.

What kind of frames are those and where can I buy them? Look great!

The frames are made by myself. I cut the frame from cardstock and glued a transparent foil to it. Then I made two of these frames and sandwiched the model between them.

Looks great. Thank you!

Boat in a bottle (Dave Brill) by Gross Michael, on Flickr


Eagle (Nguyen Hung Cuong) by Gross Michael, on Flickr

I'm digging your Eagle fold. Looks hard

I've folded Brill's bottle before, but never out of clear material. What did you use? Cellophane?

I got the ''paper'' from one of Jo Nakashima's facebook challenges. He said he bought it in a Daiso store.

Chameleon (Paulius Mielinis) by Gross Michael, on Flickr

I forgot the designer of this model. I already searched the database but haven't found anything. If you know it please post it.

Whoever reads is a donkey by Gross Michael, on Flickr

Edit: Found the designer: Daniela Carboni and Robero Gretter.

I love NT's tissue foil, but I think that the frog needs thinner paper.
I would like to know the designer of the rabbit too, looks great.

Thanks! Yes, you're right, 60 gsm is a bit too much for the frog but I realized that the paper is too thick only when I started shaping it.
Found the rabbit. It's actually a donkey reading the newspaper designed by Daniela Carboni and Roberto Gretter.
Diagrams here.

Excellent folds. Clean and lovely photos too. Keep up the good work.
