What have you folded lately?

I know, I know, Daydreamer.

I've been told that all too often, but I only have so much colored paper online and I really don't feel like ordering it online.

Very nice folds, halogen

Well, I folded a star like thing out of Pokemon cards. I have no idea how I came up with this. I just picked up one of my Pokemon cards and started to fold it. Heres a picture of it.

I hope you liked it. I'll make a diagram if you want.

That looks very loose...

It is. Its VERY fragile. It isnt really ment for throwing. I dont know what you would use it for... Picture frame? Nah.

Can't they all be pushed in together, and make it tighter?

I hope you didn't use really rare pokemon cards...
Still I think it's somewhat of a waste of perfectly good pokemon cards.

i think it's a cool model, kirby677.

halogen64: very nice models. i especially like the cyclommatus metalifer.

I picked up some craft paper to try, but I think the type I got was a bit too thick:

One good thing about it being so thick was producing larger models:

A few things I folded for my wife on Valentines Day:

I try to find new things to fold, so I get alot of ideas from this site and the photos everyone posts. Thanks for the inspiration!

agreed! among the dozends of magic-based cardgames, the pokemon cardgame is one of the better ones. the best one is the simpsons version of course

I try to find new things to fold

why don't you fold things from my page?

Wow, nicely folded cat xaoslord

I've now been waiting for "Origami for the Connisseur" for about 6 months to come from the local library

I'm pretty sure it's been lost

Wow, nicely folded cat xaoslord Razz

Folded Satoshi Kamiya's Ancient Dragon yesterday, took about 4 hours. I used a 70cm piece of wrapping paper.

Nice try on the ancient dragon considering it to be a complex model. You might want to shape parts like the claws, tails, and beak more though to make it look more fearsome

I think it would look nicer with red paper like Kamiya used.

Thanks earth, I am considering trying this fold with unryu paper like brian chan did. Also, because I used wrapping paper, it doesn't hold the shaping well (maybe if I used foiled wrapping paper). Oh well, this was my first successful attempt at this fold ^_^

Sometimes when folding a box pleated CP you get some really nice intermediate stages.
