I'll bet, I myself wouldn't fold these for my own entertainment after I've realized how frustrating this one actually is.

So you're saying bigger paper will help make the folding process easier? I'll have to pick up some then, all I have right now is a huge stack of 5" square. Every time I start trying to fold a rose with these, I end up giving up after all the colour disappears from me making so many creases

Haha

You can make my simplified rose (same as this video but without the 'leaves' at the end). Mine's more of a 'bulb' I guess. Also, this video shows an easy way to achieve the sink fold, which stumped me the first time, going by a different video clip.

The instructions for the horse and some of the other things I've made actually call for larger pieces of paper (they usually state at the start), and it's easier to use thinner/film paper designed specificially for origami, but it's still achieveable with the cheapo stuff from the local art store (what I'm using).

Thanks! I'll see what I can do with this

Triceratops... kinda

Edit: Woo! 1000th post.

If you can figure it out (I couldn't), this is a much nicer rose.

And THIS is the best origami I've ever seen. Period.

I remember when I was younger in elementary school I made a ninja star and thought that was the coolest thing ever. Very cool stuff you are making though.

awesome yoda!

oh and those two dragons are just stunning! O.o

Not exactly origami but I made this out of paper.

 

[Rednamalas1]

^ thats badass. Can you make me a ducati monster in red?

 

[Paxonator]

Unfortunately I don't know if there are printouts and instructions for one. I got this off of Yamaha's website. There's an even more detailed one I can make but that might be saved for a winter project. Thanks for the comment haha.

I lol'ed at the yoda one

[rincewind]

That bike is pretty cool. It's a cut-out model though

Mr Satoshi Kamiya is insane, and let noone tell you otherwise. This one was harder to fold than it looks. I had to adlib the face a bit cos I messed up The claws of the design are much more detailed than mine. Original design stands up by itself too. Mine obviously is verticall challenged

I love the intricacies, like the slightly raise hoof on the horse and yoda's eyebrows.
