What does everybody do with their creations?

Well, that certainly is awkward!

Now I put my worse folds in my crammed up origami cabinet and put my better folds on display on my shelves!

I am mostly folding beetles by Montroll and boxes by Fuse. What I do with the beetles is I just stock-pile them in boxes. And what I do with the boxes is I put beetles in them.

Give it to this weird(Ok, VERY WEIRD) classmate of mine.
If the model suits a type of person, I would give it to him or her.
Throw it away
If it is a flower, I make a stem. Then my classmates will destroy it >_<(I really hated them when they destroyed this nice kawasaki rose I made

)
Give it to some random person.
Put it on a table and some person who doesn't appreciate art, crumples it to its untimely death.
I eat it....
I rip it apart.
I open it up and look at the crease pattern.
I display it at our display...thingy(Like my kangaroo =)

That's all I can think of.

I never eat my work... I just eat the left over scrap paper

I would never rip my folds apart! Unless it goes horribly wrong and looks nothing like the finished model should...

I used to take them places, but usually people pulled them apart.

Now they either rot on my floor, my shelf, or my trashcan.

Question: What does everybody do with their unfinished models, that you're still working on.

I personally just leave it wherever I was folding it (If it's in my house) and finish it later. My Flasher Hat has been sitting on the floor by the computer for about a week now, slowly coming into shape.

If it's flat, I usually leave it in the book I'm folding it from. If not, I put on the book and place it on something, so no one will step on it.

Ditto.

Reminds me on something. A few years back I gave a nice (my own design) origamiflower to a pretty girl in a red dress and long red gloves (it was on a valentinesday party). Due circumstances I wasn't able to speak to her and I had to leave suddenly. months later I saw her again and she told me that she unfolded the flower because she hoped my phonenumber was written on the inside (which was not). She felt so bad about unfolding it that she never wore her long red gloves again because she didn't want them to lose the magic of touching that flower for the first time.

Even nowadays when I go out I fold something and give it away, most people really like it and some of them became my best friends, all that trough origami. It's even a great first move thing to meet people of the opposite sex since it's quite original to present something like that.

I rip it when I say "So I just folded this. It looks nice but I can do better. *RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!*" I enjoy doing that

To nonkelgans:

Yeah, origami is a great gift. It gets peoples attention if you are folding some crazy model from a Japanese book, and gets even more once its done. Unfortunately, I lack the nerve to give stuff to people I don't know("hey, heres an awesome origami model that I've worked on for 4 hours that I'm giving to you for no obvious reason"), so they usually just sit on a table until some random guy(who I know) unfolds it.

The past 2 years I've been folding stuff for the Promotion Night thing that we have for school. 2 years ago I folded an origami bug collection, complete with scientific names and a biplane. Last year I folded a wizard vs a dragon(both by Satoshi Kamiya), out of nice, big paper.

I found out that I'm known as "that origami kid" and "that kid who folds awesome stuff out of paper"...

I sometimes hand them over, say nothing and leave, that makes people wonder for a long time. I only had a strange reaction once, tried to give it to a girl, she looked at it and ran away scared. Never understood that. (it wasn't a ninjastar or sword or so).

ItÂ´s easy to give my stuff away because I know, I can fold something similar again, if I want to and it really doesnÂ´t matter if I put it in the recycle bin myself or if anyone else does. Well, and I donÂ´t have the space to keep all my folded models.

Anna: I find that too. My friends always say "You want to give that to me? But it's so hard" but I know I can always fold it again

Kenogab: *makes the sign of the cross* go back to where you came from!

MWAHAHAHAHAH! Your sign thingy-majiggy doesn't work on me! I will now proceed to rip all of your models apart.*waits silently in a corner of Cupcake's room*

(I came from my mom's tummy! How can I get back in there? That could traumatize me if I could! Why did you think God erased all our memories when we were still inside a stomach?????)

Anyway, I sometimes burn it too. It looks pretty when it lights up. Too bad It lasts only for a few seconds

(I especially liked it when I burned up an ancient dragon

It looked very, VERY pretty....)
