Alright my first attempt on Netto's Dama was by the book, but I was unhappy with how it turned out.
So on my second time, I was sloppier and did things differently to simplify things and do it more like I want to. It's not great, but I'll show it anyway.
Good, bad, or otherwise, it's good to see what people have been folding. Considering that this is the only way that I have contact with other folders, I have no other means of telling how the rest of the world is doing.
I'll have to do some looking around before I have something else worthy of submission here though.

I know what you mean. I feel pretty isolated, don't know anyone around here that folds... which stinks because where I previously lived there was an origami club.
hey meadow, you have a origami group right in portland! they meet once a month. and david i am not sure where you are to help ya out. i understand the way you feel though, i fold pretty much isolated even though there are 3 groups within one hour to two hours away from me.

Oh I'm at Penn State. Sorry I forgot to go fill out my profile. I'll do it now.
I've never actually met another folder in person either. I am not aware of any groups near me. The closest one listed is in Texas. DavidW, there are 3 groups listed for Pennsylvania on the OUSA website http://www.origami-usa.org/regions.php .
Oh, very cool octopus design! It has a nice look about it, and it seems to hold it's creases nicely (backcoating perhaps?) Now I really wish I had a camera! Oh and I have folded on late Joseph Wu's Eastern Dragon and Ronald Koh's Black Rhino just to let ya'll know!
Funkee Folder
You can make one of those swan thingys! Wow!

No backcoating or anything, it's such a great paper I just folded as is. It's crisp unlike the mulberry paper I messed around with before. Wolf was right, what people call mulberry paper can be very different from one pack to the next depending on who makes them!
That is very true! The Mulberry I have right now needs a backcoating to crease well! It's a little annoying. Where did you get your mulberry from?

I wasnt too happy with the hand, maybe next time...
Oops! I'd forgotten that there is such a thing as parchment paper used for cooking. I don't think I've ever folded with that kind of parchment paper before. Actually, I was referring to calligraphy parchment paper. It usually comes in a white form and in a "golden" form.
Actually Phu Tran told me about the Parchment paper.
I have tried the Calligraphy paper and like it also.
Here are a couple of models i have folded with it. Camel , Squirrel , Satiro , Rhinoceros , Rat , Crane Envelope , Dragon , Yoda & Yoda
Mine came in gold purple pink & brown, I didnt get any white unfortunately.
