I'm Back!

I'm back from Chicago! Well..... I've been back.... my laptop charger broke so I haven't been able to post. But good news is that, I got origami paper! From the shop in my last post. Pictures!:

I was so happy! The Kamis(first above) are 35cm! And below is handmade tissue paper called Unryu!

When I buy a new charger, I shall continue to post regularly!

CHICAGO!

Going to Chicago! Visiting the family and what not. Luckily, I googled it and found an origami shop there! Hopefully I can find some good paper! If you want to look up the local origami shops in your state go to this site: CLICK HERE!!!

Before I go, I have you leave you with a project!!!! Sonobe Module

I made one before with random types of paper patterns, and it turned really cool. It is a super good conversation starter, as well!

Diagrams for the Origamist: Butterfly

Butterfly(diagram)- A very simple, yet fulfilling model. A bunch of them can me made and hung to make a beautiful mobile!

Origamist for the Day: Michael Lafrosse

Lafrosse is an amazing folder and sculptor. His wet-folding techniques are just as amazing! And in his books, he shows how to make your own paper; so make sure you pick up one! The paper he makes is called origamido paper. Although, I have never folded it, I heard it is amazing to fold and super thin.

Diagrams for the Origamist: Cat

Cat(diagram)- Eric Joisel's cat! In step 9 and 10, it looks a little hard, but just follow the crease marks and everything will fall into place. I suggest thin paper.

Kitty(diagram)- A simple but nice kitty. Wet-folding could really take it to a new level.

Origamist for the Day: Eric Joisel

Joisel was one the most talented sculptors I have ever seen. He has created more that 50,000 models. And he once said, he never makes the exact model more than once! Website

I came across this, and I thought it was really cool!
