The Origami Forum

I have tried to get hold of origamido paper for some time now, for folding insects mainly, but cant seem to get hold of any. are the anyone out here who know where to get hold of it, or have some sampel that they can send me so i get a feel of how it feels like.

Origamido paper is not a single kind of paper but rather a brand name for a variety of different papers. You can only purchase these papers from Origamido itself. Most of the papers they produce there are especially made for one of Michael LaFosses creations, but since they make so large quantities they sell the left over.
I think it might be better if you look out for more readily available paper. For complex models two layers of Tissue paper glued together with methyl cellulose is a fantastic paper and for some models two layers of tissue paper with a layer of aluminium foil in the middle works especially well.
If you still want to purchase Origamido paper, I'd recommend asking at the Origamido studios, their website can be found here: http://origamido.com/

thanks for the answer, i gonna try 2 tissue i think, have tryed tissue foil but its hard when you have to revers the folds. And Origamido studio does not ship to norway, argh
