The Origami Forum

Well the way I see it by making tissue foil you're adding foil to your paper for the purpose of being able to shape it better. The legs of an open-belly model wouldn't spread because there's metal foil holding them in place. The fact that this metal foil is glued to the paper doesn't make it one pie...

How do you feel about using tissue foil then? Technically, it's not even paper.

I do the same thing, actually. Since most of Satoshi's models (if not all) have an open belly, I'll use glue to keep the model flat and to keep the legs from spreading. To me it's a waste to spend many hours folding a model that won't stay the way I folded it. Another way to do it would be to wet-fo...

You should go to http://www.origami.com, that's where I found the first diagrams I folded. It has models from simple to complex, so it's great for learning origami. There's also a .pdf among those diagrams file which explains the basic folds. Also a site with lots of simple to complex diagrams is Ga...

The things I've seen on the internet (pictures of conventions, personal websites etc.) gave me the same impression. I've never actually met anyone who does origami though. (well, my brother can make a crane, but that's it)

I want my money back!!!

Why do the coolest cp's and diagrams always have to be in weird japanese magazines and tiny booklets that are almost impossible to obtain? :( I'm all for copyright, but if all those diagrams and cp's were to suddenly make their way onto the internet I'd probably be the happiest boy in the world ;) (...

Did you use those spanish .pdf files that were posted some time ago? It also has pictures of the collapsing process. Unfortunately there aren't any pictures of collapsing the tail, and since I'm a CP newbie I have an uncollapsed Lion lying around

If you're going to write a book about those awesome face tesselations I'll definately buy it!

Yet another brilliant post by our favourite member!

How about this one? Diagrams are in Satoshi Kamiya's book.

Many of my friends have asked me why I don't sell some of the models I fold instead of getting some crappy job. When I asked them how much they would be willing to pay for them, and telling them how long it took to make them, they understood why :) The way I see it, if you want to make money on orig...

well... I will tell you a secret: you really don't neet to drink so much beer, that you're completely pissed. so it won't be too expensive and you won't have a hangover at the next morning :) I don't even like drinking untill I'm completely pissed. Still, even when I'm ony half-pissed I don't feel ...

I do, it's a lot cheaper then beer, feels better and doesn't leave you with a giant hangover. I keep it from becoming a habit by not smoking very often and only when I'm with friends though. It's nice to live in the Netherlands when you like smoking weed btw, within a 5 minute walk from my house the...
