There's actually individual plates on the margin that are 1x2 but I took photos from a bad angle so they just look like creases. It happens when the thing you're trying to photograph is only 5cm long...

25cm (10") Japanese foil paper is pretty commonly available. You can find it in OUSA's online store.

Yea I looked at those but I didn't see 10 inch Japanese foil, just American. Even stores in Tokyo didn't seem to carry larger sizes of foil, though I got some kami over a meter to a side.

Latest fold,

Hideo Komatsu - Horse

I know I said my next model would be the ancient dragon. I started it, but after folding the tiger with the black paper I really wanted to make the horse.

Nice one Halogen64

Final foldings of my Plain Horse
Tail is now also colour-changed.
Folded from 35cm uncut square of a duo paper that I found last year at OrigamiHouse and totally forgot about until I cleaned out my closet a few days ago!

Wow qtrollip those are some great horses! I like the scene you made there with the horse rearing up. Nice color change too. So this is your design? Will you be sharing diagrams of a CP?

Holy man! Thats huge kami! I'd love to get my hands on some of that, but I don't think I'm going to be going to tokyo in the near future

I wish they sold that in Canada!

It was at my favorite wholesale origami paper store in Tokyo. It was a sheet that wasn't yet cut into smaller squares. I got it discounted as well

Wow-I've never seen kami anywhere near that size! But look here. The Source has 10" Japanese foil; I know-I ordered some.

Edit-dang, the link doesn't go all the way-search Japanese foil and there are 2", 6", and 10" squares.

Ahhh thanks. Man that's wierd. And kind of inconvenient. But I'm getting a few packages for sure.

designed last night and perfected today (with a nice graft for the toes/flippers): a platypus (rediculous simple design). For a CP see my Flickr account in my signature...

I like the horses! Very well done. I finished Lang's dragonfly recently but used only single sided paper.
