Canson Mi Tiens and Strathmore papers
so i bought some sheets of these papers at Michaels i don't know what to fold with them. o.o
Re: Canson Mi Tiens and Strathmore papers
good for wet folding. nothing super complex, though (too thick). i hear it's good for tessellations.
Re: Canson Mi Tiens and Strathmore papers
You can fold some complex things (not too complex though ...) from it if you make as big a square as you can out of it (I think it's 19.5 inches) and then wetfold it.

Things like stephan webers bull come out really great, not too complex but with a ton of detail in all the right places

Re: Canson Mi Tiens and Strathmore papers
I tried wet-folding a relatively simple cat model out of Canson paper, and was somewhat disappointed in the paper's strength. With just a few layers and a bit of stress on the paper, it split apart down the back when the paper was wet.
