New to Origami

Post by danielorama »

Hey guys,
I am new to Origami and thought that I would introduce myself on this forum as I would like advice and to just generally get some inspiration. I can make a lot of the simple animals such as basic dragons (cranes with legs and folded wings), crane's and a few more. I can also build ninja stars (which I know are VERY basic). I am eager to go onto the more advanced stuff... but there is one thing I really don't like reverse folds I would like some advice on how you do it as I really don't get it. Also do you guys know any good origami books for making some more advanced dragons I mean nothing as complicated as Satoshi Kamiya but something with a bit more detail.

Thanks,
Daniel

after a while reverse folds get easier. i remember i used to hate him but now compared to the stuff i fold (or attempt) its not very bad haha. just wait until you have to do a closed unsink! :D but i promise if you practise reverse folds they get alot easier.
