folder's block

[phillipcurl]

It seems when working on an insects i never can finish the model even though i am folding accurate.

I think i've developed folders block or something o.o

anyone that has had this "folders block" before have any tips on how to get rid of it? because i really need to make some models, and this "folders block" is annoying me :L

thanks.

Same here.
Actually I have Lang's Longhorn beetle just in front of me, but it's not finished.
I guess it's just laziness (?)

I have Shuki's kabutomushi precreased, but its been sitting on my table for like a month now gathering dust, waiting to be collapsed one day.

its really annoying, isn't it?

Same thing happened to me when I was folding Kamiya's Tenma H7, took me about 2 weeks to finish it. (I could have done it in one day...)

Good to know I'm not the only one. I just finished my Triceratops design the other day, but since then I've had no motivation to fold.

last time this happened to me i took a 8 month long break, mostly because i broke my arm and wasn't particularly able to fold anyway.
i may try a one month break or something.

I think folders block is mostly just laziness or lack of free time on my part. I have a lot of models I want to fold but never get around to folding.

i have a major lack of free time...
school: 8 hours a day on monday, wednesday, friday and 11 hours on tuesday/thursday
job to pay for school: 1 hour a day on weekdays, 3-8 hours on sunday
church: 3 hours, saturday
homework: 2 hours a day or more
sleep: 3-6 hours a night
i really have like no free time at all

I usually get it right about the point it's time to start wetfolding things. I solve this by starting another model of some sort, then just do a little each time to the ones that need finishing. I've always got 3 or 4 models going at the same time.
It's a hobby, so if I don't feel like it I don't, if I get tired I stop, if I don't feel like finishing a model for whatever reason I don't.
The instant it starts to feel like work I stop.

i figured out for me, its the paper.
damn cheap as hell tracing paper.
from now on, i'm only using sekishu, origamido, and the various origami shop papers.
