Sipho Mabona - Swallow (CP)

Post by **origami_8** » June 17th, 2010, 7:20 pm

Thanks for uploading. I tried to fold it but don't get what to do on steps 12/13. Somehow my paper is locked inside so I don't know how to stretch the paper.
It would also be great if you could make some comments when the paper needs to be turned over, or when a step needs to be repeated on the other side(s).

Edit: I think I got steps 12/13 now.

i've started to comment the pictures. please excuse any mistake and the - may be - bad expression. i'm not used to explain my folding and my english is just rudimentary.

Thank you. I finished the swallow yesterday shortly after I figured out those steps.

Can you expand step 15 a bit? I can't quite figure where those wings are being formed from.

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally got it.

Beautiful, Origami_8! Congratulations! Soon I`ll try to fold mine. What size of paper did you use?

Post by **origami_8** » June 24th, 2010, 4:16 am

11x11cm, but for a first try you should probably use larger paper.

Thank you, Grizzly Man for your awesome Photo Diagram. I was able to fold a swallow from the series. This is the link to my finished model which I have uploaded on Flickr...
