I am having trouble with steps 11-14 from the Giant Clam on pages 48 - 49 of *Origami Sea Life* by John Montroll and Robert Lang More specifically, when it says to "pull out all the hidden layer"s, the paper tears, and I have tried all kinds of paper. (long fiber, wet and dry, regular origami paper, larger squares 9" - 12"... any ideas or better illustrations?
I am not an inexperienced folder, but I am not a master either. I chose this model because it was labelled intermediate which is where I rank myself...I could be wrong of course. Kate Honeyman
