Oragami section?

[midgetgem]

Maybe it's just because I found my stash of coloured paper, but it'd be really cool to have some foldy foldy peoples pictures and maybe some how to's... oragami is something I adore but am hopeless at- I'm just not exact!

I am SO addicted to folding those little stars- you get these packages with strips of paper, fold the paper around and around in a pentagon shape, tuck the ends, pinch the sides, and you come out with these cute stars. I'VE DONE 100'S! I CAN'T STOP! and cranes, and flowers, and waterbombs, and and and.....I think I need to put the paper away for a while :rolleyes:

I LOVE Origami, I got hooked when I was a little kid, like 8 or 9 little. My folks bought me a book with some in and I went from there. My favorite one to make is a strawberry that you blow in to inflate!

I'm not sure an Origami section would be needed, but I think a thread is a great idea! I'll have to get some photos of the dragon I can make, it's the only design I ever came up with myself. I also have some sites some where with instructions on how to fold a Totoro, and Godzilla!

That first one is the one I did. I got compleatly stuck on it several times. I'll have to sit down with it again and see if I can re-work it out.

Thank you viv :)

I got stuck on origami when a Japanese exchange student came and taught our 4th grade class. She was so pretty, the paper was pretty...and of course being a little girl, I liked everything pretty hehe
It usually takes me a few good tries to figure out some pieces; like the water lilies. I can not figure the more advanced ones out :mad:

yep, you lil amazing monkey you! I love them they are so cute, though initially i wasnt cutting the paper long enough!

think im going to try to make a necklace or something with them, i bought some charity shop beads that they would go ace with!

[WimpyRen]

I use them for so many things, and since they're so super easy to fold I put them in presents all the time. People always want to know where you get the cute little puffy stars

they took a lil getting used to, and im cutting my own paper and i suck at straight lines, but on the whole they are effective- I'm trying to make a necklace maybe

[WimpyRen]

look up jong ie nara (sp?) They're korean and have lots of the star paper. A good pick too is scrapbooking vellums. If you can get a good cut going, you can make some beautiful stars with that kind of paper

[midgetgem]

i quite like the idea of recycling to make them- especially since you dont know exactly how they will turn out!

[vivien]

I had a ton of jewery made out of them at one point, but I'm not sure where they ended up? I was going to put them on the site, but after the cherry blossom festival in April, my whole stash went missing!

[WimpyRen]

At work I have a description to make a origami-geisha, very cute, with obi and all! I tried to make it but I guess origami is not my thing... :confused:

I'll try to find it tomorrow and I'll post it here!

Have fun!!!
