greetings from Italy

Post by natureboy »

Hello I'm Stefano from Italy, I'm 26!

When I was young I folded for years, now I wanna start again with more complex models and better papers!

I folded a lot of models by Alfredo Giunta, my favourite Italian origamist!
I'm not skilled with very complex models, but I am quite accurate and patient, and I'm stubborn so I try and rìtry till I see my model finished!
I looked a lot of your galleries, I hope to improve myself watching your works and reading your suggestions.

bye!

Welcome aboard.

I like Alfredo Giunta's works very much, full of "soul" - he is underrated.

His cat from 2 squares (http://www.giladorigami.com/File.php?Fi ... Giunta.JPG) is adorable.

also for me he is underrated...I think many of his works have great value.

he was the first person I see folding insect when I was young, and he made a book only for insects called "Gli insetti di Alfredo Giunta" edited in the '90...unfortunately I searched it a lot and never found...he was so gentle that he let me copy some of the diagrams.
after that book he improved a lot of his works that still now are not diagrammed, unfortunately for me because I am really new and unable to CP approach.

I have the book "I piccoli animali di Alfredo Giunta" (Small animals of Alfredo Giunta") and it was my favourite origami book of my childhood.

I am happy that you enjoy him, thx for the welcome

That's because Americans like Internet too much. :roll:
