I am not skilled at folding crease patterns and yet I REALLY want to stretch myself to fold Eric Joisel's little gnome/dwarf.

I have printed out the crease pattern. I do not know how to transfer it to a bigger sheet, what the best paper is for a final model, how to tell which is valley or mountain, and how to collapse. I think once I get it collapsed- I will be able to mold and shape the features ok.

I have the ability to fold intermediate models from diagrams but alas.. crease patterns boggle my little mind.

It would mean a lot to me to be able to fold it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

unfortunately i'm nor able to fold any cp - not even the simplest. but may be you'll find some helpful hints here
