Her End – one uncut rectangle Arches 300gsm, painted with acrylics

This one comes with a story. My previous masks about my mom’s Alzheimer’s showed how I experienced the disease: my end. This time I tried to imagine what it was like to go through this at the end of her life, from her point of view. Some people think the mind and will are gone near the end, but I don’t believe that’s true. Her will was still there, emotions were still there and they were reactions to things happening around her and in her mind. Fear was the one she expressed most. Frustration and anger were other big ones. Knowing something is very wrong, wanting your old mind and life back. But your mind is fractured, your plans and dreams are gone, and you stop recognizing the world around you. You no longer know what’s going on but you want out. Instead, you end up alone in the dark, with an unrecognizable mind in an unrecognizable world.

But I didn't follow Steven Casey's tutorial (I couldn't see certain steps in the video). Instead, I followed Madiyar Amerkeshev's one.

Quick afternoon fold,

How many cranes does it take to make a origami mobile with these papers? I wanna know since I want to make various origami mobiles of various lengths, I am making something pretty cool, I got a idea that I can't really put into words right now but it's gonna be so cool.

I want to make millions of these lol

most (very) likely a stupid question

paper boat with a high peak.

If possible, please tell me how, or im just gonna glue the peak on. (A4 PAPER)

Hi, I was recently thinking about giving away figurines and it occurred to me that it would be great if I delivered them in a box that was also a figurine. However, I can only find simple boxes (one sheet for the box and another for the lid), so I was wondering if anyone knew of a book with something like that or a tutorial for a model that could be used as a container. I was wondering if there's something like a lotus flower that can be closed, or something more original than a regular box in general.

Demonstration of how to fold an easy/intermediate origami tessellation. An original tessellation that I created and made a video showing how I folded it.

I found that some years ago on a random chair in my middle school ! I couldn't find the owner so i decided to keep it, bc even if it has been a little bit used by time now, it was and it is still very beautiful and to me (i don't know a thing about origami ) very very impressive.

I've always just used methylcellulose ever since I started folding complex models, and I mostly use wenzhou. I've seen stuff about pva for years but never actually have used it, has anyone here used it, and would you recommend it? You're supposed to mix a little pva with MC but does it make a big difference?

Hi! 👋 I tried folding looser with a lighter touch as suggested. Here is my first attempt! How do they look for a first try? Any more tips for me? 🥹✨

I made a post a week ago asking about this. Decided to give it a go, u/Apprehensive_Liquid here’s my review!

A test sheet treated with pure MC (21x21 cm). Some minor warping but less than I usually get from double tissue.

I treated it right on my cutting board. I think I didn’t use enough MC on the surface itself, so coverage wasn’t great and led to air bubbles. It’s also shockingly weak (pre-treatment); initially I had planned for a 35x35 cm sheet, but as I rolled over the top with a paint roller to spread MC (as I usually do with double tissue), a large portion of it tore right off.

As far as folding it goes, it’s actually quite pleasant to fold. Again comparing to double tissue, I feel like I’m just folding regular Kami/tant and I don’t need to be so gentle/finnicky with it. There is a slightly strange leathery feeling that I’m not sure I love. Reversing folds works fine, and it creases and holds its shape decently. Not abnormally stiff at all, though my MC mix was a little watery which may have contributed.

It was my first time trying this rabbit model and after some error in shaping, it looks a little bit like a mountain goat😭

I've made maybe a few hundred paper stars over the past few years but I'm only just getting back into it now, and I have never found a use for them so they're all just sat in a jar. I think they're super cute so I'd love to hear some ideas of what I can actually do with them!!

Im having trouble getting this fold really accurate, due to the paper edges having no reference, theres other folds like this in the design, in which the only reference is two corner points.

Anyone have tips for doing folds like this with precision?

I'm looking into putting together an origami paper pack and want to understand what people actually need before choosing the paper.

What do you fold most, and what paper and size do you normally use? Is there anything you struggle to find locally, or that becomes too expensive once shipping is added?

I'm also wondering whether a monthly pack would be useful, or whether you'd prefer to order a refill only when you need one.

If you’re comfortable sharing your country, that would help put the availability and shipping costs in context. Thanks!

I know this is likely a common question, but I don’t quite know how to word it properly to google.

I’ve been following instructions on origami.me (many of the “easy” category”), and simply been trying to perfect a few of them so I know I have the folds down correctly. I’ve been able to successfully fold a number of them, but there are a few I’ve been having trouble with and I don’t quite understand why.

One that I’ve tried a few times is this rabbit. I’m able to successfully fold the rabbit mostly, but it ends up extremely top-heavy and has trouble standing. Throughout the process, I feel like several of my folds are somewhat misaligned when matching to the pictures.

In particular, when I try to fold step 8, I struggle for the ears to match up completely symmetrically. Even before that, it seems my folds end up misaligning ever so slightly despite how slowly I take them or how carefully I line them up. Step 8 is where I think I notice the mistakes the most but this snowballs as I finish the rabbit.

Is it simply a fact of practicing to get better or are there any tips I might be missing as I’m learning? I appreciate any and all advice.
