Thanks for the suggestion loganorigami, but I was looking for something more dragon-y or realistic.

I'm looking for angels that would look nice in papyrus tissue paper.
I have their copper, silver (double tissue atm) and a white with sparkles. I've added a cheaper white on either side to mute the sparkles a bit. Also saves the only 4 sheets I got x-x

The CP is there, however, if you want a diagrammed model, I got nothing :<

Okay...this is going to be my last post for a while on here, summing up all the paper I have to date.
Note: I am giving the exact size of the paper I have. I can trim it to whatever size is needed for the model.

Level: Anything complex - super complex
*Paper 1:
**Type: Canson Me Teintes watercolor paper
**Size: about 20 x 24 inches
**Thickness: Pretty thick..it is watercolor paper. I think its about #130
**Color: Grayish
*Paper 2:
**Type: Canson Foundation Series Tracing paper
**Size: 19 x 24 inches (I have about 50 of these)
**Thickness: #25
**Color: White clearish, of course.
*Paper 3:
**Type: Origamido
**Color: grayish
*Paper 4:
**Type: Kraft
**Size: 30 inches x 30 feet
**Thickness: Not sure, feels around maybe #50.
**Color: Natural
*Paper 4:
**Type: Taco bell burrito paper (pretty much the equivalent of MC'd tracing paper)
**size: 12 x 12 inches
**Thickness: #25 ish
**Color: lots of colors
And finally...paper 5...
**Type: Banner/sign paper
**Size: 5.5 feet x 75 feet
**Thickness: about as thick as standard copy paper
**Color: White

Thanks.

Phillipcurl, for the origamido, Quentin Trollip's grey wolf, perhaps?
Loganorigami, in the end I tried to design something with it.
Now, I just got a pack of tissue paper, so:
The colors are pink, white, yellow, red, green, a lighter green, blue, orange, black,silver, and gold
Size is 50x75
It is very thin
tissue paper
complex
These are untreated sheets, so I can make tissue foil, and double tissue, and could you also tell me which of the two is better for the model.

I like that model, but I can't fold from cp very well, and I don't think there is diagrams... mainly what I need to figure out what to use up is the taco bell paper, my mi teintes paper, and my kraft paper..

Aren't there diagrams in his book?
I just got a roll of Kraft,it is hard to find a model that looks good with it try Nguyen Hung Cuong's eagle with kraft or taco bell paper.
