My very first model

I was interested in doing some Origami for a while now, but what really got me motivated was the model of Yoda i found. since this is not exactly newbie friendly i decided to look for something easier. so here is a Sea Horse I made.

comments welcome.

Also I would like to ask, if there are recommended websites or books (english or german) for beginners.

Being somewhat a newb myself I cant critique you, but I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done, and welcome you to the forums

I hope to see you folding a Yoda soon. In fact, that looks like something I might like to try.

Thats a great site. It literaly has millions of diagrams! There's to many to belive that they were all collected by a human, not a robot!

I've been giving my Mum's Boyfriend's Daughter origami lessons and books because she's a newbie, she's picking it up very fast.

I recommend, depending on where you're at, The Origami Handbook; , for people who are practicing. It's rather simple but has some complex models too and great but simple ones to help you practice certain folds.

But if you're like me and want a challenge, try Origami Omnibus, Kunihiko Kasahara. It's got easy models throught to complex mathematical models and formulas. I like this one because it get progressively harder and still makes it all seem simple.

Modular is good for practicing certain folds too. If you're interested try: This Site or This One. Both Excellent Sites, in fact, both fantastic links from the same site...

Happy folding!
