Maddoghoeks Wetfolds

[maddoghoek100]

Never had a gallery thread before, so perhaps now is the time.
More finished works can be seen at my website: http://www.Wetfold.com
I post work in progress shots regularly on facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/wetfold

Here are few unpublished recent designs, wetfolded with Cansen Mi tientes

Very nice shape. I like your dragon.

Are there any chances of that bear being published? It has to be the best origami bear I've seen!

[maddoghoek100]

the complement is much appreciated. It will be a few months, but the diagrams for the bear are done. Publication wheels are in motion and if the demand is there i am likely to teach it at the OUS convention this year. Ill probably be teaching one low intermediate and one high intermediate class so other possibilities are:

High Intermediate


Low Intermediate

The Dragon Whelp is amazing! Do you happen to have a CP for it that you'd be willing to share? I would love to try to fold it! Apart from that your Owl and Little Devil are very nice too.

[maddoghoek100]

Much appreciated.

Diagrams for the Dragon Whelp are in creased issue 10 (It is V1 which has a slightly different tail finishing and color change, but on all the big elements are the same). They are available online for subscribers and there may be back issues still available. (the little devil is in issue 12)

A simplified version called the dragon slayer can be found in two places over at the OrigamiUSA online magazine THE FOLD issue 12, which is free for members of OUSA and for the time being through the diagrams section of my website

and if you don't go the creased route and can do crease patterns you are welcome give it a go based on the CP on my facebook, but i am not recommending it. it is just for show and makes no mountain valley references:

You're welcome. But more importantly, thank you! I look forward to folding both the Dragon Whelp and the Dragon Slayer models!

I can't make it to the convention, but whatever its published in, I will buy it!

[maddoghoek100]

appreciate the support. I will be sure to post as diagrams become available and as my teaching schedule for the convention firms up.

Something im just finishing up and need to get to diagramming. I think it brings a lot to the table for the level of difficulty.

I really like that pig, it's pretty cute

[Eamon]

Nice Pegasus! Where do you get these colors of mi-tientes?

[maddoghoek100]

the mi-tientes does come in 25 or so colors. For 2 color models my preference is to use acrylic paint and acrylic ink either before or after folding rather than back coating a sheet with tissue paper. So the pegasus is white paper with a coat of gold paint on the textured side. You do need to give the paper plenty of time to cure before wet folding or the acrylic can become tacky to the touch. The mi-tientes looks great with metallic paints but i do use a fair bit of star dream for metallic models as well.

Plenty of people have good tips and techniques on using acrylic (lafosse, webber, mabona, and others). The key for me is to find workable color combinations of base paper and paint so the raw edges and rough spots are not noticeable or are noticeable in a way you like. Black paper with red paint looks killer and is highly recommended for models like Stephan webbers bull. The little devil pictured above is black mi-tientes painted red after the fold was complete (sadly there is no real color change on the horns or eyes).

FYI, sadly no diagrams for the little piggy because his very close cousin was published in Creased issue 7 (flying pig). Would not be difficult for a novice folder to make the conversion though.

Ah, thanks for the info. I'll have to go looking for some mi teientes(and some acrylic paint) tomorrow.

You are really good. The wetfolding makes your origami look very alive.
