An acquaintance of mine creates the most amazing kaleidoscopic "mandala"-ish designs that translate REALLY well to origami; How can I help him to create a "fat pack" like the packs that Sterling Publishing sells? Those are pretty OK papers, and they don't seem to curl.        I guess it's a two-

A long, long time ago, back when I was a member of FOCA (showing how long ago that was!), I was able to borrow from the lending library a video tape of Michael Shall demonstrating how to make origami models into ornaments for a Christmas tree. I'm curious as to whether that video has ever been c

2012-12-11 Thread Ramsay Cowlishaw
Gerardo asked: Do you think it's possible to use gold or silver plating in an origami model? Can it be done on a paper folded model or would it have to be folded in some other material? Has anyone tried to do this? I've contemplated doing it by folding a piece of paper-backed thin copper foil.
