1.. First model folded ?
A paper boat with my mom
2.. Most frustrating model folded/attempted ?
The Koi by Robert J.Lang but with the scales. I can fold the koi and I can fold a sample of scale but I can't fold the Koï with the scales because I'm very very bad in maths and I think i'm not skill enough in english and I understand nothing to creased paterns...
but I'll try again! I bought the book only to fold it!! ( of course i fold some like the frog and the plane with my kids, it is a very well done, and beautiful book, it is just me that is not good enough
)
3.. Which of the forum's members has been folding the longest ? (Come on own up ! Liars need not apply)
I began to fold when I was 4-5 years-old now i'm 30...
I fold a lot between 8-12 when my father worked with japaneses and they teached me traditionnals models that i learned to fold by memory. I come from a little village of ~ 730 people, there is no library there...I folded cranes and cranes ,that was my favorite one, until I went japan in 1994 and I learned there were thousands of origami models that were existing...
Hazukashii desu!
Then I fold a lot between 1996-1998 and i fold every week since 2000 but often with children so I don't have time or know people to increase my level of folding. I mean , I would need help to make some of Lang's models and i think i would not be able to fold most of beautiful Satoshi's, for example, models.
My favorite models is still the crane but i really love to make Kawasaki rose and the eastern dragon by Joseph Wu.
