Time for some new models 😄
This is a butterfly from the cover of the book I'm using. I had a lot of issues and confusions with this model. Some steps are explained pretty terribly but that's because they're hard to explain and I wouldn't do a better job at it. Looking at the picture it's not too bad though. I was struggling on step 3-4 for way more time than I'd like to admit.
This is a really cute and interesting model. It uses a triangle instead of a square, very simple to make. This would make for a cool halloween decoration, doesn't take much time.
This is my favorite model in the whole book. It's not too complex and I wish to memorize it but it has quite a few steps, maybe some day.
Now for the reason I put the image on top. That's a model made from tissue-foil paper. It's made by cutting out a square of aluminium foil and gluing tissue paper on top. I use spray adhesive, used to make a mix of white glue and water before finding where to buy some. It's a slightly hard to work with, unforgiving for mistakes but it's thin, durable and resistant to tearing. The biggest issue I have with it is reversing folds is a pain in the a$$.
Here's the process of making it, don't use tissue paper that bleeds colors when wet(been there done that, it's a nightmare) and wait for it to dry completely before cutting otherwise you'll tear the wet tissue and end up with wasted materials.
And finally, this is why I made some of this paper, the next model in the book requires tissue-foil to retain the shape, wish me luck.
Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying this as much as I am, and check out the last part:
Part 1
That squirrel :O Also that bat in the last image :O These are great! Good luck with the next one :)
Thank you ^^
hehehehe your TETRIS gif was amazing today!!!! i can't believe the things that you can do with paper :)
Thank you, don't give everyone too many spoilers for the next post ;p
I wonder how long it takes you to make them and whether you ever 'wet' the paper (not the one with foil) to mould it more easily.Those models are very complicated, well done @ivan-g!
Thanks, I've tried wet-folding before but its not for me :s I'll stick to dry paper. I dont really time myself while folding so i dont know, bat was around 5 min and squirrel 20
beautiful the art of origami....I really like your work
Thank you ^^
Nice job @ivan-g! Love the dragon :)
Tnx :)
I hope u can do it and u can teach us how. Interesting!
I don't even know if I can make it yet, looks pretty complicated
A bit stuck, worst part is realizing there are two sides
I love it! I wanna buy that kind of book. Break a leg!
