help to start
hi, i'm a beginner in origami does anyone have tips, or easy-medium folding level to start with ?
Re: help to start
Start with easy traditional models. Once you learn the basic folds try the ones that look harder.

Re: help to start
Great!
Welcome to the world of origami.
To begin with i would suggest traditional models and bases.
I began with the flapping bird then the crane.
Tips -
Dont give up , just keep trying till you succeed
Try to increase your level of folding slowly.
Good luck Hope i Helped.

Re: help to start
this book http://www.amazon.ca/Easy-Origami-John- ... 223&sr=1-2 helped me a lot when I started

Re: help to start
don't use copy paper (most important thing to learn in origami, if you want to do well). or you'll end up like me (check my gallery for proof). try not to start with traditional models, I find they do not do well for an introduction, to origami, to build up your skills for the long run. try for easier contemporary models, like from lang's complete book of origami, origami zoo, etc. montroll is also a good source for models that are a good introduction to origami. look at your local bookstore's origami section, and try for books that have easier models at first, but gradually build up to harder ones. Well, that's all the resources you need. all the rest is up to what you want to fold, and how comfortable you are with origami, of course this isn't set in concrete, and you should go with what you believe is best. take risks!
Re: help to start
when I (re-)started, I folded a lot of models from
http://dev.origami.com/diagram.cfm
the diagrams a grouped into simple, intermediate, and complex
and also check out
http://ori500.free.fr/dia-e.htm
which also indicates the difficulty of models
(even if there is some overlap)
and
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=568
these collections of free diagrams should help you figure out which type of models and which authors you like (and then you can start buying books)
