The Origami Forum

There is a tracing paper in my country but it's super thin. (I use it for making tissue foil )and i can't fold anything with it except for the Robert Lang's praying mantis. So what's the best tracing paper there is?

Okay so you posted this thread twice..? I think you should delete one of them

Anyway, to be honest, tracing paper sucks. I know some people can make beautiful works out of it, but I would try to look for a good type of kraft paper or such. I have "speedball Tracing Paper" Google it, and you'll easily find it. it's the same stuff shuki kato uses if you want a comparison

Well. Sorry About Posting Two Thread Twice! And Thnx! I'll Try It Out!

tracing paper is the worst thing for origami!

Its difficult to use, but it certainly isn't the worst. I've made some really good models out of it.
I use canson tracing paper, simply due to availabilty.
Anyways, to get a good result, you should wet fold it once you finish the base. One limb at a time. Make sure the you do any small details before wetting the paper (fingers, claws, etc)

Thanks for your help!
