I get positive feed back,

Most questions are "How long" and "That's amazing it looks difficult"

My husband is funny though because I always say "What's this?" and he gets all nervous "umm ummm" and then gives a random guess lol

Yesterday I took my Ryu zin 3.5 to it's final resting place, my Japanese class.

Their words... well no words

They should be, lol

Even I was stumped for words, having seen the quality of your Ryujin!

You only say that because you haven't seen the quality of mine:

Wow, FrumiousBandersnatch! that looks awesome! Truly a complex model to never be re-created

Plagiarism, Jeremy Shafer created this years ago!

Ah, yes, but if you look at the CP for the Rubbelstone, and compare it to Frumiousbandersnatch's model, you can tell the Shafer's base would come nowewhere near looking like Bandersnatch's model

InsaneOrigami is right, my crease pattern is actually based off of Kamiya's Samurai Helmet Beetle that got 3/4 of the way through before magically becoming too thick to form any details.

My parents think it's pretty cool, but after I take over the counter tops, they see it as clutter...

I have a funny(?) friend who will tear my model in the works if he doesn't like the subject. ( What'cha foldin? Just a DRAGON?!? I'm disappointed in you...)

I will NEVER tell anyone what I'm folding, which makes them very pissed! Or maybe I'm just free folding, so when I throw a really odd base into the recycle bin, they explode.

Right after I finish the model, I whip it into my pocket, never to be seen again by human eyes.... Which makes them even angrier!

To go along with the last one, I usually fold things with complex precreases. You should see their face when I unfold completely!!
( *folds* Are you almost done? *unfolds completely* Umm, No. Sorry. * jaw drop*)

What's wrong with OriSlater's signature ?

It makes me dissolve into laughter

This Christmas I folded 20 dollar bills as presents for my family. They were very amazed that you could get that kind of creation out of a dollar bill. This was one were youtube is key. lol

Nowadays my family is used to me folding my pieces and often citicize them. However, I find this criticism useful as it helps me improve my works.

Can't say the same about my classmates though.
(CM: What's this?
Me: Somesort of monster. You know, a kraken?
CM: What's a Kraken? Anyway, looks like a crumpled sheet of paper to me.
Me: Sigh...)
