The racoon looks great! But I think the crane could do with some more shaping.

That paper looks great, what is it like to wet shape?

Thanks, Matt! Wet shaping seems to be the paper's weakness. I tried with the train, but the paper quickly became very, very fibrous and impossible to do anything with. That, and the small size of the paper, is why the crane is a bit lacking in shape.
Again, thanks!

Ok guys. Due to much confusion over whether my name is Ben/Ted, I decided to get my username changed to Ben385. I seriously don't expect anyone to call me Ted now :P

You have to ask an admin (Anna) to do it for you. :)

Ok, it's been a while since I last posted some folds. I promise I have been folding lots, but I'm terrible when it comes to taking photos :(

Hexagonal Flagstone Tessellation, independently discovered by lots of people. Folded by me from a hexagon of tant cut from a 15cm square. After I had folded the model, I went back and inked all of the hexagons, and I like the effect.
