Dang gio, that crane is sweet. Is it MC tissue paper? I was going to try tissue foil but I don't think even that is going to be enough...

Thank you JeossMayhem! yes, it is MC tissue paper.

About the crane... Román Díaz encourages to use "sirgo paper" (you can see how to make this paper at Nicolás Terry's website). Anyway, I think that maybe you can wetfold it just at the end, with a bit of MC (or glue) so the legs will be hard when it dries and the crane can stand on a foot.

The only Román´s crane that I have folded was made with tissue-foil paper... but I chose a very small size, so mine is not so nice... By the way, which size did you use?

Hope it helps!!

JVega,
I started from a 30x30 cm square and I applied MC at the end to shape the details and to stiffen the legs (and now it stands on one leg!)

That is a beautiful crane! I like Robert Lang's cranes as well!

I like your rat, Jonny. looks like a Joisel variation, but your forelegs are better.

I have actually never folded Joisel's rat, but the base may very well be the same. Thanks.

Lang's Rose

Yesterday I found out that this one is actually doable. Not exactly pretty yet, but at least it sort of looks like it should. Hopefully it will put a smile on a certain girl's face...
