Suggestions? I have none, it looks beautiful!

oh, sorry, I've forgotten this.
it was made from a 64x64cm paper, and finally height of 11cm.
i don't know how to call the paper, maybe "handmake paper", and we call it 手揉纸。 :)

Thank you! I spent lots of time to shape it, and this is my first time to use such a large paper. In fact, I prefer small works. It looks more smart. :lol:

The book can be bought from the OrigamiUSA Source and some other places on the web. It's called The Works of Kamiya Satoshi. Some art stores carry nice, big sheets of handmade mulberry paper which is excellent for complex folding. There is also always the internet for getting paper.
