how long have you done origami

I've been only folding for two years now i'm slowly improving. :]

same with me im not so good but i have been folding for a little while

I've been folding probably about 8 or 9 years now, I think. It has been a fun adventure, and I hope to continue for the foreseeable future.

My particular path went something like this:

First, my mom got a Klutz origami book to help entertain my younger cousins. Then, because I seemed to enjoy myself, she got me an origami-a-day calendar, which got me hooked. But it wasn't until I decided I wanted to get good enough to make a nice Kawasaki rose that things really spiraled out of control.

Now I can give a decent stab at some of the more complex models, and do a pretty good job with simple and intermediate ones. I wrapped up my first full model design a few days ago (full disclosure: I'm pretty sure the base I ended up with is the same or similar to the first steps of Verdi's vase as well as certain tessellations, and of course, the crane is not mine ). So I guess here begins the next leg of the journey for me.

I have been doing it for about a year and a half

Since first grade (i'm now in sixth grade) in Japanese class. I made stuff like dog and cat faces. Now i can make stuff like kamiya's ancient dragon.

A year and two months.

About three years. I still distinctly remember the first model I ever folded, the star basket, in 5th grade art class, and a Sonobe cube soon after that. Now I'm working on the final fold of my newest design, a Cyclommatus imperator, while I take a break from the chimera I'm working on.

So I guess you could say I've improved a bit.

I start from the age of 10 will be origami.So a long time.

I began in 1999 with a nice series of books with simple diagrams, three years later I discovered the internet and started trying with more complex diagrams, then crease patterns. I know I wont stop until my hands become useless...

lol i was born in 1999 LOL

LOL so I can say: I began doing origami even before you were born, kid!

hemhem you probably were i was born on November 1st. is the same as... you probably were. I was born on November 1st.

I started when i was 14, after seeing Kade Chan's Firey Dragon on youtube, was when i got really serious about origami. i have been folding for about three years now
