Bass - Another user here folded an Ancient dragon with that same paper. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSZTFeieMZo

Sounds a lot like the paper i'm going to use for the ancient dragon too. If you have the works, it's diagrammed.

I think I'll fold it then, I've done several A-D's before and this would help me with understanding the head area. However, I think I'll use this piece for a tessellation. I'm thinking a giant 20-something stage Fujimoto Clover would be fun to try out.

2.) brown on one side, brown with white floral swirls on the other side
3.) kraft paper
4.) consistency of banner/kraft paper
5.) Intermediate--Complex
Looking for a model that would look interesting with these color changes. Thanks! ~Flame

Maybe Quentin Trollip's Malay Tapir? The floral pattern would look odd though.

I've got myself a 50x50cm sheet of elephant hide in a kind of yellow/beige colour. It's the only sheet of it I've got so I'd like something that looks real good, I've never really wet folded before though. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated, thanks

@Baltorigamist Yes that would look pretty strange...hm....I'm out of ideas...
EDIT: Perhaps something with fur would work?

Any size between 20cm, and 50cm
Pink
Double tissue
Thin
Intermediate to complex
The "pink" part is making it hard to find a model.

Flame, You could try making a color(colour) change girl wearing a skirt. The swirls would look nice on the dress that the girl would wear. I'm not sure if the face would turn out too good though.

@Dragon that sounds like an idea I could use. I didn't think of clothes. Thanks! :D

Pink? How bout a butterfly or a rose? There are plenty of complex/intermediate versions of those out there.

A rose would be nice,thanks.
The idea of a dress just popped into my mind, for a specific model, you could do... I actually have no idea! :?

It's a nice idea nevertheless! I just need to find a diagrammed person with color-changed clothes and then tada! Folding time!
You're also welcome. :)

Maybe Stephen Weiss's Girl in a Dress. That's all I can think of right now.

I have a big sheet of double unryu paper, purple on one side and yellow on the other. Maybe the combination is a bit weird but I'd like to do something from it. Intermediate-complex. Any ideas?
