The Origami Forum

Hi origami people,

I have started folding a few things lately and it struck me what pleasure simple folders can give, let alone the final product.

From David Brill's masu, I would say the first pop-up of a 90 degree corner is shear bliss.

Then there is that magical twist to get the internal flat bottom.. and the comfortingly simple yet elegant finishing off of the bottom.

Does anyone else have any favorite folds?

Naturally another topic would be folds you hate.. but I will leave that for another day/person.

Blackdevil Angler by Robert Lang. It is diagrammed in Origami Sea Life, and it is an incredible model. There are some tough steps, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I love the base Lang uses for it.

I'd say Michael G. LaFosse's Squirrel.
Always has and will be my favourite

Stephen Hecht's money flower..
Foldable with almost any kind of money sheet.

Same here. I like unwrapping the loose flaps.

Kirschenbaum crab was one of the models that take me more time to complete, but now there is something in it that i love to fold.
Oh, and the foldings that i hate the most are the sinkings for thining legs of Sirgo models... Its booooooring
