The Origami Forum

Did anyone attempt this model in this months magazine? Woah! It was difficult. I managed it but it looked crap

it was way too complex for me to look at for long. i think the resujlt would look the same if someone was give the instruction: "scrumple a peice of paper until it has the shape of a dragon"

I tried it with a piece of paper that was far too small, and gave up around step 50. It did seem to be needlessly complex... But then I look at the way it turns out when Piotr folds it, and think that I will have to try it again.

Woah, nice dragon!

surely it's only a green dragon if you make it from green paper?

I assume you're right hermanntrude:) I recommend to fold the dragon from a large sheet of paper. As far as I recall I folded the model, which pictures you may see at http://www.origami.art.pl from 70x70 sheet of a thin paper.

I hope that the diagram is not so bad and you'll fold the model successfully. Sorry, it sure isn't flawless - I was (and still am) a beginning diagramer at the time.

Btw: I choose the name "Green dragon" partially because of the marvelous skin-like paper I used and 'cause I surprisingly always linked dragons with wise and good creatures not evil ones.

Best wishes, Peter

Is this published anywhere else?
