[Froy]

Surfing on amazon I found this

Is ti good for origami?

I'm looking for a On-line store that can ship rolls of colored Kraft paper to Mexico, please HELP!

[natureboy]

which kind of tape do you use to create a piece of taped paper from smaller pieces?

I believe that in the junction paper becomes too thick or not?

TAPE?!

I would try methylcellulose

@SAJ
I make my own tissue foil, and it's really easy as I see it, compared to other techniques. I used to use spray glue on the foil, then carefully place the tissue. But recently, I started to use just watered down white school glue, and it holds very well! I'm in the process (for several weeks now) of using a giant square of said material for an Ancient Dragon, but I haven't worked on it in a while, and the paper is still held quite fast to the foil.

I would like to know if tracing paper is any good for folding, because I found huge rolls of 30 gsm tracing paper at a local craft shop.

They also have about 15 different colors of tissue paper, so I definitely will be picking up some methyl-cellulose sometime.

@Lephantome92: Are you aware that you answered to a seven year old post on the first page of a 26 pages long topic?

how do you 124 people get foil into a square? Practice?

@Draco paper cutter is the easiest way, or what i do mostly is just fold the corner of the roll to line it up with the edge and then cut it along the other edge, and you have a square.

I have some wooden square templates that I let cut at a building centre. Using those I mark the square on the paper with some pencil marks. Then I use a self healing cutting mat, a steel ruler and either a very sharp knife or rotary cutter to cut the paper square. The rotary cutter has the advantage to roll over the paper not crinkling it when it gets a bit more dull, but it is more expensive as well.

Other possible square templates are for example quilters square-rulers or steel templates.

Satoshi Kamiya's Phoenix.
Good in 35x35cm tant?

[Ragnorax]

I wouldnt recommend it, its going to be kinda small, and i have a feeling that the tail will be too bulky and rip at the first few braids.

But you could try to fold it with that.

[JumPurge]

Yeah~
I could bairly even pleat the wings ;-;
Thanks though, I'll remember not to do it again :B
Funny how it worked very well with tissue foil though.

I don't know of many people who wetfold their(simple, heavily shaped) models using heavy art paper. Instead they fold their models from tissue foil, which I consider sacrilege and laziness. Why don't more people wet fold? I, myself, find it very enjoyable..
