your picture was 2048x1536 pixels in size!!!!! I have corrected that. please make sure that your pictures fit into the window or use thumbnails to link to the picture. also the link wasn't working what you could have corrected with a single click on the "edit"-button.
please take care of this in the future.

btw: welcome to the forum. :)

Nice rose, if you can make that and a crane then there are plenty of other models you're up to making. Try hunting about on the internet for more designs (or picking up links from here).
Alternatively you could invest in a book of models.

I suggest going to the library and getting a book by John Montroll.... He's really good and his models are fun to fold.

Pretty much what broke me out of my 'Icanonlyfoldacrane" stage.

You are probably not from Czech republic, if you can go to library and get origami book of John Montroll... :roll:
We will have new National library, so maybe there...

I had searched for an Origami book but i can't find any appropriate for me, only simple kid books with boring and ugly things inside... However here in Bulgaria Origami is not much popular.

I found on the web something about origami convention in Bulgaria last summer. Do you know about it? Will it be this year too?
