[Appel]

Hello,

My name is Gabriel Appel, I'm from Brazil, I'm 14 years old, I started do Origami a few months ago, I think it was between June and July, my first folded model was a traditional crane, I like a lot of doing modular origami.

So, it's that.

Happy Folding.

Printer paper is great for inventing a model (A3) Can I see the star? I won't push my luck and be cheeky and asking for those exclusive diagrams but yeah, even I haven't done Satoshi's AD yet!

Thanks Phillip

I cannot fold CPs... it boggles my mind to think that people can. I would love to fold your star though, if you would like to send it to me I might even find me a camera and post it when i'm done. Not sure if anyone wants to look at my newbie folds, but I've thought about making a thread in the gallery. I folded a whale with water coming out its blowhole since I made my first post, and i'm getting ready to fold a dragon.(both from Oriland)

Anywho... Cheers,

Josh(Norfi)

the diagrams are now online at my site.
click here to download them.
its my first diagram so please don't critisize me if they are bad.

Also, i'm sure a lot of us would love to see your "newbie folds". Criticism helps you get better. (positive criticism of course, none of the "ew, that model sucks, you suck, go get a life poop head" crap)
My folding got way more accurate by me criticizing myself.

And yes, please do post a picture of the finished model if you can fold it! I will warn you, the diagrams are very...crappy. its a lot easier to fold from the crease pattern, in my opinion.

I would release the more clear instructions that I put in the christmas book, but I can't yet. and I don't have them on my computer anymore anyway :L

Check your pm's, i will send you text instructions which would probably help with the diagrams as they are somewhat unclear.

Hi. My name is Wojtek. I first did origami in 3rd grade (25 years ago). I don't remember which book it was that I got from the school library. Learned classic folds like the water bomb and frog. I was limited by the copy paper I used and eventually gave it up. I watched between the folds on Netflix about a year ago and downloaded some books. I enjoy complex models and want to learn to fold from cps. I learned that illegal PDFs are bad so I ordered origami design secrets and origami zoo by Lang. I also got a subscription to the latest tanteidan magazine(which are a little disappointing). These books are very expensive. And I want them all. Next on my list are the Nicholas Terry books. Is there a thread in the forum where people sell and trade used books? I've learned so much from this forum. I will be making a flicker account soon.

No bother with text instructions, those diagrams are actually quite good, for a beginner! (By for a beginner, I mean, "I'm being suprised at how professional those diagrams look when thoseare your first " not" ha ha, I'm sarcastic, those diagrams suck, get a life,whatever insult you put down there " )

Hi! I should get some sort of image hosting account soon too as people are constantly after me for pictures and I know it's my fault that I haven't put on pictures.

Hi everyone, you can just call me Alen. i started origami i guess back in middle school and I have been folding easy things ever since to past the time in class. Since i got so much free time at work i decided to go back and learn something new.

Hi I've started origami my self in first grade. I'm actually nine yrs old When I was in kindergarten or so I got a book about paper airplanes and my mom helped me fold them. Now I do more complex models like the kawasaki rose.

[phillipcurl]

Cool, welcome
i think your probably the youngest on the forum!
Have a good stay.

[Harpseal]

Awesome! Real experience from years (full years!) i've only been at origami for a year and a bit. I started quickly and challenged myself a lot though so i'm at phoenix 3.5 level now although i haven't got round to doing it yet.

Hai guys! Yeah, ummmmm My name is Max (well), I'm 13, and I've been folding for a couple years now, my first origami book being probably a bit of a step up from most peoples first (If you're curious, it was John Montroll and Robert Lang's origami sea life). Within a couple months I was able to fold stuff like the cuttlefish and hermit crab from 15 cm paper, and got bored quite quickly as I couldn't find anything else anywhere that was challenging enough. I stopped for around a year, occasionally folding stuff, and then picked it up again last summer. Since then I've folded some of Satoshi Kamiya's models, he is a god, many of Robert Lang's models, and other various models. I've recently bought 50 Hours of Origami+ and Licence to Fold, and I am fully satisfied with both. I'm currently working on Le Tuan's Werewolf, and starting to design stuff of my own. I am very happy to have found this forum and am looking forward to talking with all of you! ^.^ Thanks! K bai!
