Hi,

I'm thinking about folding a pretty complex model out of tissue (phoenix). I tried folding a simpler model out of the same kind of paper to see what it was like and i thought it was pretty hard because the paper is so thin. Can you please give me some tips on folding out of tissue?

thanks

Glue two sheets together with methyl cellulose.


And read the "Preferred folding material" sticky topic.

this may have been a quickshot, Anna.

its hard to suggest a model to you, without knowing your level of knowledge. so tell us about your experiences. are you a beginner or an expert?

ps: LX14 is a strange name, your parents must be mathematicians...

well my name is alex and im 14 so yeah

and well im not a beginner but i wouldnt really consider myself an expert but the first 3 cps i folded were phoenixes 3.0 and 3.5 and nguyens 2006 eagle and they actually came out pretty good
too bad i folded all of them out of really small copy paper

ps. thanks origami_8 I'll go read that now

you folded the eagle and the phoenix out of a rectangle of copy paper?

impressive

I think he means squares of copy paper (which, technically, would also be rectangles ).

Well, i meant the size *g*

Sorry for my english...

the squares were about 6 or 7 inches cuz i just printed the cps and folded them directly on the paper
