Well, I don't think that two count, because the folding properties of double MC paper are completely different to just a single sheet of tissue paper. I wondered myself though if resizing with MC counts or not.

well..i am folding lafosse's grasshopper out of tissue foil, so that kinda breaks a rule. But i plan to refold it from just tissue. I have no problem with using those papers though, rules are made to be broken.

i never tried to fold with tissue yet but it's probably more challenging to use just tissue without any glue or mc ...

This was from one square of tissue paper.
Same model in both photos, just posed a bit differently.

Where can you get MC? It seems to be very hard for me to find.

Wallpaper paste is often made of MC, so you should find it quite easily.
