Congrats, sinks were a challenge for me too

Good model to practise sinks and crimps is Valerie Vann's Penguin!

Greetings,

Nice - I'll try that later! Do you know of a good model to practice pleat sinks (since I still can't really get those)?

I folded A miura-ken beauty rose
Designer: Robert Lang

I'm still having trouble to get a perfect pentagon base. Also I don't know how to lock the bottom. And my shaping is still awfully bad

But this model is just awesome

Hiiiiiii dee ho!

Here's another South Park character, Mr. Hankey!

Mr. Hankey from South Park. From six squares of origami paper.

Body and head from a 15 cm square, each arm from a 7.5 cm square, hat from a 7.5 cm square, eyes from a 3.75 inch square, mouth from a 3.75 cm square.

He loves me, and I love you. Therefore vicariously he loves you!

Oh, are you sure? Where is head? And legs? And, actually... pelican?

This is pelican of John Montroll:

dear ondrej, i'm under medication (serenase, flunox, en) and went away from a 5-days hospital care. gotta do that pelican before it was too late.
hands eyes very shakly. also nokia camera.
still.

if you look at my flickr site you'll know what i'm doing right now, but if you ask me yes yours is so good.

and sometimes interpretation might mean something.
but do let me know if i'm vicious even here.

by the way the pelican shows the prima materia of the philosophers, hiding under 7 different metals (this is why the picture is like that)

the prima materia gets then under labour and passing through nigredo becomes gold like.

but i do digress.

hope this topic is still what have you lately and not frak you arak, i'm for the art bit but all you type-1 folders (cross-word solutors) can pm me with insults.

ciao caro
s.

next follds i'll try to be more invisible ok? maybe a good old kamiya. or betterv pictures, if i get back my camera.

Maybe I missed something...

I folded Montroll's Goose, but it's quite messy because of my inability to form double rabbit ears very well or to do small crimp folds cleanly. I've folded it twice, and the second one looked a lot better. I'm going to fold another on my lunch break at work today and hopefully post a picture of my beginner origami skills (hopefully) progressing.

cube with pierrot face by kasahara. 6 squares.
sorry for pic quality.

Here’s my *third* attempt at Montroll’s Goose. I’m starting to get the hang of double rabbit ears, but those small crimp folds are rough for me.

I’m going to probably fold it a fourth time to try and clean it up even more. It’s a reasonably easy model, it’s just that I’m still trying to learn how to add finesse to my folding!

I’m wondering…do really precise and crisp folds come with time and practice? You can see how the feet (while not properly folded I don’t think) are not exact in terms of bisecting. Also, you can see crinkles in the paper. How does one go about eliminating those? Many goes at the model and practice I would presume…

Overall, I’m feeling good about my progress! In only a few days, I feel accomplished in my folding!

It all comes with the time, be patient young padawan

I also took out my "Birds in origami" by Montroll.
I made an attempt at straight wet folding double tissue MC paper from the beginning. It turned out to be easyer as i thought

Yeah, my bad. That's how I post pics on every other forum I visit, haha. I'll edit that post now!
