Hints and tips?

For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.

https://origami.me/beginners-guide/
https://origamiusa.org/glossary

What are ‘CPs’?

Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.

For each date that I go on, I would like to give my date something that I have folded myself. My first date is the 7th and I will be gifting a crane then.

Do you guys have any more suggestions? Traditional is preferred, but contemporary or from something (like an anime or video game since she really likes those) is also welcome. My origami skills need honing, though, since I took a several year long break, so simpler origami is preferred for the time being.

Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately, my main means of photography (my mobile phone) is out of action awaiting a new charging port. I have however folded a swan (the night of my post) and a heart (a few nights ago). The heart contains a message on the back asking if she would like to be my girlfriend, we agreed to decide whether we should truly continue dating or not after the first date. I just thought it was a creative way to ask the question. Everything has been folded on a 3x3" (7.6x7.6 cm) square, which were cut from standard A4 paper. The heart was colourized using two crayons, hatched along the axes. Is colourizing a good way forward and should both the crane and swan have added colour?

The update on dating was that she was unable to meet with me on the 14th. I know that some anons may question her motives, but it is because of a very tight work schedule, I will not say much more at fear that I will reveal too much information. She wishes to meet on the 1st, but if not, then the 8th, it depends on her next schedule which releases soon. She already is hinting at a second date on the 14th before we even have had the first. I think the long initiation helps with this. We both really like each other and that the first date is the final piece to the puzzle before we decide on truly becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

Truth be told, I came very close to saying a certain three words tonight, but I still think it is too soon, even if it has been two and a half months tomorrow. I am feeling very lucky this year, for a number of reasons, so I have a newfound sense of confidence, but I must reign it in for a time.

I wish to ask the people of this board, in case any other anons are watching. I would like a beginner friendly guides for the following.
>flowers (roses, hydrangeas, bluebells and primroses are her favourites, but anything would do, I am particularly fond of plum blossoms)
>house pets (cats, dogs and rodents)
>small birds
>fish
>horses (her favourite animal)

This might be a bit too hard for you, but I love this tutorial too much no to share it.
The description of the video contains the tutorial for the basic Hyndrangea, which is neat in itself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrJft8Za8wg
(Jo Nakashima has a video on the basic Hydrangea too, who has added a lot of helping graphics for beginners)

Two models that should be rather simple
Origami Hiromi on Youtube
- Crane Circle
- Heart Crane

Another more intermediate model:

Magic Butterfly Heart Stand

Thank you. My knowledge prior to this board was traditional, plus some stuff from Michael LaFoss that I remember seeing on Activity TV growing up ~15-20 years ago. I will have a look when I get back home.

This is a search engine to find CPs on adrive easily. It is a library with 1000+ crease patterns, and you can filter them by BP or 22.5, shape of the starting polygon...

do not abbreviate crease patterns

Welcome, this is a SHARING thread, where you request and share single diagrams (preferably). And I would like to encourage sharing this mockingbird.

Thanx. That suits me just fine, 'cause the only thing I want from the whole book is just the Wyvern diagram.
>>
>>628951
Understandable. It was a long shot anyway. That book is really hard to find, not even second hand and trading is out of the question, anyone who has it already has everything I've got to offer. Gonna check that taobao thing and see if it's worth buying one or two diagrams.

Hmm so now we wait

Hi. I'm Arellano.. I have the full book, apparently you understand how difficult it is to acquire it, as well as the books I request (whoever has commented on it), so I look for exchanges. My email has already been posted, but I write it again, in case anyone is interested... <<arellanoarturo636 (@) gmail.com>>

I had a question but none of the existing threads are really too relevant so I thought making a general help thread from the get-go (beyond what’s in the welcome thread) would be good so even if my question gets answered the thread can be used for other people’s questions

I’m making a papercraft where I want to paint part of it gold for some extra pop, but I want neat and clean lines. I’ve seen a lot of artists use washi tape to do this in their art and I want something similar, but I have inkjet prints and don’t want any of the ink to lift up. Any tape recommendations? Or possibly other techniques? I’ve done some googling but I don’t wanna take my chances with buying a ton of tape just to test it.

Never mind, I figured it out. I think he left out an important part of these steps. The triangle in the middle was the key for what I was doing wrong. I KNEW I had done everything correct up to this point, so it was just about figuring out what I missed.

RE-POST REQUEST.
It's been pretty dead lately, not even requests, so I don't know if any one will read this. Can some one please re-post "Origami Pro 7" and "Origami Tanteidan Convention 29". They've been shared everywhere else already, so why not in 4chan?

OTM 214 leaked on Zhezhixueyuan but when I tried to open the post I got this message:

"Sorry, this post requires a reading permission level of 50 or higher to view."

I've never seen it before. Is there a way to get higher permission level on Zhezhixueyuan?
>>
OK, forget Zhezhixueyuan, I found out how to get the file from scribd:

https://scribd.vdownloaders.com/
>>
>>628912
Unfortunately to get higher permission level you have to do stuff like decorating your profile, adding others as friends, engaging with others etc
It's a very typical chinese site
I've been there once. There was this guy who was looking for a tanteidan magazine. Luckily I had access to it but the damn site didn't let me comment because I didn't had that "permission level" so I thought I would pm him but to pm somebody you gotta add them as friend first which I did but it took him a day to accept the request and by that time someone had already posted that magazine. This pissed me off really badly.
Also they have a credits system. You earn credits by posting magazines and books and similar stuff or by collecting bounties and you spend these credits by viewing books posted by others.
Another thing I found was that you can add personal information like phone number, address, place of graduation etc on your profile(it's not mandatory but to earn higher permission level, you have to) which makes no bloody sense 'cause it's a damn Piracy site.
It's a big mess.
Also can someone share the diagrams for the yuki sato's dahlia or the huywern from vog 20 years?
