woops double post

I made a sheet using this thin recycled foil that I got from the grocery store and a piece of blue unryu. The paper looked cool because the silver foil sparkled a bit through the unryu, but half way through folding Kamiya's wizard it turned into a ball.

I'm generally not a fan of folding with foil anyways, but if you are, this is definitely doable.

nice to meet you origami erik

i've done it. It works pretty good. I made Lang's bull moose.

i made john szinger's octopus from zing origami. i will upload pictures soon if i can. this is john's website.http://zingman.com/origami/index.php

no can you tell me how

The only tissue foil I have made is using unryu paper. If you look in my gallery anything that says it was folded out of tissue foil, is actually unryu foil - I never even distinguished between unryu foil and tissue foil.

I think it works great, and it is right that you can kind of see through it a little but so the gets kind of a cool look. It can get crumply on some models, but I assume that is common to all tissue foil.

OrigamiPete on flickr uses unryu foil, I am not sure if all of the models shown are from it, but this one for sure http://www.flickr.com/photos/petr-stuch ... hotostream

i make it by taking a peice of foil, spraying it with glue, and applying unryu.
