How many pieces of paper?

I suggest asking ben Ball or sending an email to the O-list, many folders have experiance with complex crease patterns like Kamiya's CP's. I do know that many crease patterns will just give you the base for the fold, and leave it up to you to figure out the rest, maybe your prolbem stems from a situ...

I have folded a green Giraffe, I tend to fold the animals out to their true colors though.

Hey, a new update A bunch of new folds by me in my gallery A Sonobe Project Page Models of the Month: April-Zebra-John Montroll Hyacinth-Hiromi Hyashi Warlus-Paul Sobczak May-Shizuoka Cicada- Robert Lang The Reader Kunihiko Kasahara Donkey- Paul Sobczak Book Reviews: 9 A Arte dos Mestres de Origami ...

I believe you dont have to teach your own model, you can teach someone elses if you would like.

is it really useful to repeat things from the mailing list here at the forum :?: I'm pretty sure, we're all in the list... I could be wrong :?: Christian Well Im pretty sure that I havent read the mailing list in quite some time and I thought that this was a noteworthy topic. Dont you :?: :roll:

You may not know but Robert Lang has officially produced a website at

http://www.langorigami.com/index.htm

It's worth looking at

I have some diagrams for the cube, Pm me.

I have reviewed A Arte dos Mestres de Origami, If anybody has folded anything from this book and would like to submit the pictures I would be glad to put them on my site.

John Montroll's Zebra http://www.themountainfold.com/paul/MOM/0404/0404.htm

yea, some people have memorized like 50+ algorithims (sp?)

any bodyhere ever solved a rubiks cube?

I got my solution time down to 2:35

Its a fun puzzle, some people can do it in 30 seconds and below

I like it, how hard was it?

First off I would like to say I like you name "origami"

And to answer you question, it is very hard to track origami, its not like sombody will claim to have ever been the first to fold paper. A likely thing to look for is the first book published on origami in Vietnamese (Sp?).
