moog and trouble, thank you for folding and posting! did you post a video, trouble? unfortunately i use a pc from the stone ages for my internet travels, so i can't see what your clip is about. do you have a picture to show, too?

a few minutes later: trouble, i got it! probably i was just in lack of a flash plug-in to be able to see the clip on youtube.

Thanks for sharing the diagrams Grizzly Man. I made an attempt to fold this model last evening but I used paper which was really small in size (6 inches). So it really didn't come out too well...very untidy, actually. I will re-fold the model using a larger sheet of paper and post a pic of it, by the weekend.

thank you for your interest, ancella. my prototype was folded from a square of 21x21cm (simple copy paper). with 15cm each edge (kraft) the outcome was alright but i got my best results with 25cm squares of tant.

i've asked a friend of mine for testfolding the diagrams today.
together we had to realize that there's a little mistake after the closed sink: before you swing the back half of the model to the right side, there's of course another part of free paper left - the one you have to put into the (sunken) pocket to get a closed back.

thank you, cleo! you should try to give some more creases to the dress ... but of course, it's already a nice angel.
