The Origami Forum

Hi,

I have had Robert J Lang's book for a while but have been unable to make any of the neat models, I'm using plain old washi paper in various sizes, up to 12". What should I be using and where do I get it? All help is apprecieated.

Tissue foil and Double tissue are both great for complex models, providing you have a good sized piece of paper.

Love to help, but you've given no information in your post. You've said a Robert Lang book (he has many) and washi paper. Washi just means handmade paper. You could be using some of the best available paper or you could be using that patterned crap (most of which incidentally is not handmade). Head on over to the methyl cellulose thread, as well as the preferred paper sticky thread and start reading.

What book and what "washi" paper are you using?

Yay, another paper thread!

Paper is awesome. It should have its own subforum.

Absolutely agreed. Let me be more specific. "Yay, another topic about what the best paper is and where to get it."
