Has anyone ever thrown away your origami?

Don't worry, the opposite is just as bad... Picture coming home four years later and your mom hands you a box completely full of ancient (relatively simple) origami pieces, all that she could find from your (now clean) room, preserved, just in case you wanted them all those years later. I think I kept only one...

A lot. I often throw away those test folds with copy paper.
Or when I refold something, the older ones are thrashed.

At a wedding I made a Kawasaki rose out of a napkin, then as soon as I set it on one of the tables a cleaning lady grabbed it and mashed it up and threw it in a bag.

I throw away many models and when I fold a better one of a model I throw away all of the ones of that design I made before

I never actually throw my stuff away. I just have a shelf that is my gallery, and those unfit (most of them) to be on my shelf are thrown in a box. That way, I can revisit old folds and the memories just seep in, and before your know it you start crying

... never mind. I'll just cry by myself in the corner.

I wouldn't blame anyone for throwing something away. Most of the models in my room look like trash, lol. I will throw things away when I am designing and the piece I've been working with has been folded so many times it no longer holds its shape. Or like others have said, if I fold a better version, I will throw the old one away.

There was one time I folded a flower in school. I accidentally left it behind, but when I came back for it the teacher had thrown it away. I didn't think it looked like trash, but it wasn't a big deal. I don't think I spent a lot of time on it.

Yes, dogs ate 145-point my Megura sea urchin as soon as I finished and stepped away. Nice paper too...

i folded a kawasaki shell on the school bus one time. i told this girl to pass it to my friend so she could see it. instead of passing it she crumpled it up and gave it back

it was funny

I throw mine away all the time. i run out of room to store them. then there are some horrible looking practice pieces that just go straight to the recycling bin
