What To Fold

[redheadorigami]

OK.
I need to 'get rid of' alot of paper, any satisfying, quick to fold complex models?

[loganorigami]

ive got a pink square aprox 20cm x 20cm , i dont know what type of paper it is but it's thin and wet- foldable.

[Alexorigami]

Redhead, try Michael LaFosse's Praying mantis from Advanced origami. It needs really thin paper, but since you said complex models, I guess the paper(s) is/are thin, right? Also, Roman Diaz has quite complex, but still pretty quick models in his two books. I have no ide what book you own, so I am sorry if you do not have theese books.

1. 38 cm, divided in 16ths in one way
2. Transparent
3.Thin
4. Baking paper
5. High intermediate, no tessellations!

Erm...how about Eric Joisel's crane? It's a nice intermediate fold out of baking paper...38 cm's a lot though....maybe you could divide it into fourths and make four of them?

[Flame_Kurosei]

1. 18 in.
2. Black (both sides)
3. a little bit thicker than copy paper....I think?
4. Kraft/banner paper
5. Complex (not supercomplex)
and also:
1. 15 in
2. White
3. Thicker than copy paper
4. Cansom 60gsm Art paper.
5. HIgh-Intermediate/Complex (yet has a simple look?)

loganorigami, maybe the inflatable pig by Roman Diaz? It comes out as a great size if you use approx 20 cm.
It's in Origami Essence, if you're interested.

thanks i'll give it a go

An easy but satisfying way to get rid of paper is to burn it.

[Flame_Kurosei]

loganorigami--post pics when you're done!

@phillipcurl: that is very true, but it wouldn't be so satisfying for me since I bought the art paper...and the banner paper was a gift from a VERY expectant-for-origami teacher......yargh.

[phillipcurl]

you have a teacher for origami? lucky -_-

[Alexorigami]

Thanks, Flame, but I said high intermediate. Joisel's crane variation is, I don't know, about simple to low intermediate. I wanted something a bit easier than the Dancing crane by Lang or Pegasus by Kamiya, you know...

[phillipcurl]

Try Chocobo, by SK.
Thats a pretty easy yet complex model.
oh yeah, and
1. 20x20 inches, but I can tape together to achieve larger paper easily
2. white
3. 25 wt, so thin
4. tracing
5. complex - super complex

[Alexorigami]

Try Dancing crane, by Robert Lang
I didn't know I could make a nice-looking Chocobo with a 38 cm transparent sheet of baking paper, divided in 16ths one way, on which every crease shows very proeminently

My apologies, Alexorigami.

The only thing I could think at first of was a peacock by jun maekawa, but that's not "high intermediate"...and you also said no tessellations, so I'm at a loss, mainly because of the stripes caused by the 16th splits....the only thing I can think of when someone says a grid is a tessellation, or a modular. Also, since it's baking paper, like you said, the grids would really show. Not many models could take those lines (aside from a box pleated one) and utilize it to its full potential (none that I can think of anyway, but I haven't folded a lot of models with 16x16, so.....yar).

In other words, I'm not sure what constitutes a "high intermediate model", considering how the definition changes for every person I meet, and I'm sorry about that.

EDIT: Would a cp work for you? I mean, you could probably find one with a 16x16 grid. (first thing that came into my mind was Guspath Go's 7-I mean-9 tailed fox cp)

Oh, and @phillipcurl--I don't have an origami teacher. I have an "expectant-for-origami" Geometry teacher (who gives me a TON of extra credit for folding models and analyzing the geometry of the pieces I fold ). It would be awesome to have an origami teacher though....my first model would be ryuzin 3.5!
