JumPurge or anyone that can help (multi-piece model)

Post by hobbestheprince »

I just folded Joisel's mermaid, which to say the least, was not the most beautiful result. I'm limited to 21 cm x 21.59 cm squares, rectangles are another story. I have two kids and one is special needs (handicap) so my money is limited, therefore no extra money for 50 cm or more decent paper.

Anyways, on to my original request. I was thinking if I made a head, and then a body (for example, to start easy, Joisel's Dwarf), I would like to isolate the body from the head with two different squares, and then glue. I know it's not purist, but getting facial details is very difficult when the face is very shrunken. I know the techniques into getting the face I want by folding just the face on 21.59 cm square, so I was thinking perhaps a body that would match it's size, or at least lowering the cm in each square so it would match up could be a possibility.

Here's a picture of the head part I want to do (I'm aware that the model would not have a hat):

Here's the old dwarf CP (Sorry, I can't do the 28 x 28 ... collapsing is a nightmare):

I was thinking, perhaps for the body, I can just focus on the lower 4 parts of the model, omitting the head, but doing it on a full square. My problem is that there will be no hands then.

Is there a way around this? I put JumPurge in the subject line because this member is a whiz at conversions, and has helped me immensely with other problems in regards to folding.

If anyone else can help me out, please feel free to jump in :)

Sorry, I can't help with the dwarf, but on the subject of cheap paper, you can very cheaply buy a whole lot of tissue paper and tin foil (MC is also pretty cheap if you buy in bulk) online.

Good luck on the dwarf :)

I can fold the dwarf separately, but the head ends up squished. I want to make two separate things ... the head and then the body, and glue them together so I can make better details.
