Help! Help me decide

I've been gifted this beautiful paper. Now I'm wondering what should I make with it to highlight the beauty of the paper? I've considered making paper cranes or some Kusudama. The problem with the later is that there is not enough of one color to make approximately 30 unit.

What do you think is the best project to use this?

Carne variation

10 Upvotes

This is a variation of the famous crane. I made it by chance while trying to remember the folds for the regular one. In comparison, it has slicker wings and tail/neck.

The best fit seems to render it has if the crane was drinking from a pond with its wings slightly closed.

Help! Where you get your paper from ?

9 Upvotes

So people please don't bash me for it but I really don't know, I'm pretty new to this.

So I just got into origami 2 days ago but I already feel like I'm transcending into the more difficult works of origami and feel like my paper doesn't quite fit the job anymore.

So I searched for some larger paper but couldn't really find anything good (I'm from Germany)

or it was pretty expensive (almost 20€ for like 30 to 60 sheets 🥹?!)

There's only like "folding paper" I could find for a good price but which was like 160g/qm ...?

I don't really know what thickness is the ideal one? Like 70 to 80g ?

I need help people :(

Original Tentativa Peloroplites de origamu

Post image
9 Upvotes

Mimau segunda tentativa de fazer um Peloroplites de origami. As costas e os espinhos eu consigo desenvolver bem mas estou com dificuldades nas patas, em como elas vão se conectar ao resto da estrutura sem parecer amassada ou fora de posição. Pesquisei alguns Ankylosaurus da comunidade de origami mas diferente da maioria que encontrei eu também queria que a barriga tivesse uma dobra própria para representação.

Help! This is the sixth time I’ve tried folding origamibyboice’s "Head Empty" model, and every attempt has failed; I just can’t figure out the shaping stage—I don’t know what to do with that tail at the back. I’ve reached the point where I’m starting to view myself as an incompetent disappointment. Please

A butterfly origami

1 Upvotes

Hi! First time poster here. I'm searching for a working origami model of a butterfly: it doesn't have to be realistic (just the general shape would be fine) but i really want it to be able to fly like a paper airplane, maybe also flapping the wings. I searched on YT with no success. Any suggestion? Thanks

Can you use origami in AP 2D or 3D art?
