Basically, you just have to 'announce' what paper (of course those suitable for folding) you have gotten in the recent times.

I bought:

About 8 sheets of Elephanthide
3 sheets of paper of unknown origin (its geat though)
2 sheets of Kraft
1 sheet of thai silk

I bought large newsprint from a local craft store due to the size and thinness I thought it would be great. Sadly it can't hold a crease well!

Last weekend I ordered 3 inch print chiyogami and harmony kami from paperjade. I'm going to use that paper to fold modulars including boxes and polyhedra. :)
