Ive done some basic stuff and i want to learn more advanced stuff in origami as a project. What books are good for that?
>>611090this so much.
>>614560I didn't have good experience with this book. The theory is nice, teaching techniques and essential ideas in progressively more complex models. But a lot of the models, in my experience, even simpler ones can be too disappointing/challenging. I mean this book is supposedly written for beginners. I just checked gilad page, reviewing from memory:1. squirrel - the example photo and the one in diagram is different, so your result won't look the same as Jun Maekawa's2. box - "locks" and bullshit don't work. I honestly have no idea how to make this properly without glue3. spiral shell - good luck making everything aligned4. giraffe - I really dislike this one, dunno, the fact you fold the back and hide it behind really annoys me5. helmet - good luck making this stand, even gilad couldn't do it, fuck this model seriouslyI think I dropped the book a few models after this. I kept hitting problems that I blame on subpar models. I decided just to fold stuffs I find interesting from /po/. Not following Maekawa's curriculum. I'm much happier now. I just don't think the book is good recommendation for beginners. -----John Montroll's Teach Yourself Origami's first half has all of the essential models they used to teach in schools.
Try to follow this plan to become a successful folder . 1 .Sonobe .2 . Kusudama .3 tessellation .These are good because very repetitive folds practice makes foolproof and you can use glue for assemblyThen 4 .Beetle . 5 .Fish . 6 .Spider .7 scorpion 8 . Butterfly two colours .9 .Bee two coloursThen try some simple characters .After that you should be familiar enough with diagrams and precrease to attempt more complex models such as birds dragons .
>>611086Start with Alex Jones the Great Reset. You will be doing a lot of folding for the NWO.
>>619941wrong board, scipo
Has anyone used just paper to make terrain pieces for their wargame, sort of like pop up sets like pic related?
I have, a long long time ago during my youth when 3D printers were science fiction and I had even less money than I do now. I remeber making foldable terrain for easy storage. Worked pretty good. The easiest is to make box terrain tho.
>>616194Yes.Paper figurines are also a thing.
>>616194Yes, there are a handful of people publishing war game and rpg papercraft. It's a shame it's not more popular as it has some advantages over 3d printing. https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/6291/paper-realmshttps://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/346/fat-dragon-games

There used to be a site called Bladerunner Unicorn that had a diagram from Kenneth Thompson. Site seems to be gone, but I was able to find images of the diagram, putting up here in thanks for all the cool stuff I've found on this board.
Yamada Katsuhisa.

I also saved the diagrams from Kens website, here's Gaffs Chicken. I think you can still find these on Pinterest too.
>>619829The website no longer exists, but it is easily located in the web archive:https://web.archive.org/web/20180714055706mp_/http://bladerunnerunicorn.com/_bladerunnerunicorn.com.html
>>619929I never thought to check wayback machine. Thank you for the link.
does anyone have and can share the diagram of this parrot, I think it's in NOA magazine 5, but I can't find that book anywhere.
>>609650Cute it’s a parrot <3
>>611470what species of parrots is that

>>609672People with this hobby are usually mentally ill and have memory problems. Imo, don't look for specific model. Just fold what you found and like.
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 questionsI’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.
Bilibili and NicoNico both video anime type apps have alot of paper craft videos
>>610550Your finna seethe though
Have you tried using gold paper??
>>610550I'm stuck on step 13 of Robert Lang's crab from "Origami Zoo". Pic related.I also don't know how that fucking triangle in the middle exists suddenly. It makes no sense whatsoever.
>>619959Never 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.
Day 2988 to go
600. Forgot to take a pic before I hung them up in my shitty rig in the closet, but that's where I'm it. Man, I really only folded 30 cranes in almost 2 weeks. It is what is is>>617985Glad you're enjoying the show! The series is pretty good, but I think the best parts are definitely in the movie. Hopefully you enjoy the series enough to give the movie a try as well, since it also ties up everything very well.>Here's to hoping we have positive changes for our 2024You and me both, brother>>618051>500Man, at this rate you're going to pass me soon. Do you think you'll string them up at some point? Honestly, that is the part that I struggle with the most but it does look kinda nice once you start getting the strands going.>>618010Yeah, it is definitely a time commitment. My estimate is that it'll take somewhere to the tune of 50-60 hours to finish all 1000. It depends a lot on how nice looking you want them to be. The biggest thing I've learnt from the surface level origami I've done is that it is effort in vs effort out. Folding itself is (generally) very simple, but getting as close as possible to the perfect fold takes some patience. I'm not planning on keeping the cranes once I'm finished, so I'm not focused too much on getting super crisp folds.
>>618080660/1000Approaching the final third, wack stuff. Will I speed up? Who is to say. I can say that threading the crows is still awful. If I used larger paper, I probably could have gotten away with thicker string, since the thread floats around and gets caught in the stack as I'm adding new ones. It is what it is, though, and I'll see the end of this all soon enough.
>>59670169 days to go
>>619622760/1000Still keeping at it. Slow and steady and all that. I decided that I'm going to finish them all on Tanabata which, all things considered, is pretty fitting for me. Honestly, I'll probably get to 999 some time next month so I'll just be sitting with one sheet of paper on my desk for a while. To be fair, I've had these papers sitting on my desk for a long while already, so what is another month or two?For the, probably, 2 of you in here who have completed all 1000, what did you do with them afterwards? They take up a lot more space than I expected, so I don't think I'm going to keep them with me. I plan on keeping the 1000th, but I still think I'm just going to but them all on a bonfire once I finish. Feels a lot more symbolic than just throwing them out anyways
billions must crane
I've looked everywhere and can't find anything the artist is called Ingrid Siliakus she does some cool stuff but wondering if she had any templates or does she keep this stuff secret?
wtf this thread is also up since 2016
>>618748I was a mere student when I first saw this post. Now I am a doctor prescribing benzos to zoomers
That's beautiful. What do you use to cut the paper ?
I fucking love po.
>>619931me too
Hello!I currently have a group dedicated to finding and posting Origami books on Discord. do you want join?Invitation link: https://discord.gg/JC65pEeNIf you have any doubts, below is a book "as a gift for you" (but the maximum allowed file is only 8 mb)
Anyone on tha whasup? https://chat.whatsapp.com/I7KI066PQif7oPt5Yl1KZu
>>619775why did you nuke the link ?
>>619894Oh. I reported it to discord.
Do you guys only fold paper cranes and glue Warhammer figures? I've never seen a bookbinding thread here.Printed and bound House of Leaves. Split it into 2 volumes because I was afraid to work with so many pages at once. Covered with paper-backed vinyl (black) and linen fabric (red), which will probably collect a ton of dust pretty soon.Couldn't decide how to put the titles on. Should have made a debossed rectangle with a paper label glued inside. But I hoped that hot ink transfer would work. So I made the covers first, then printed the title on ink transfer paper, and found out that pressing a hot iron to the cloth-covered board warps the board due to heat expansion. Tried on small swatches first (picrel). This method won't work. As I understand it, my current options to put the title are limited to>linocut transfer >screening (sponging the ink through a trafaret)>just print a paper label and glue it on topDon't have any hot stamping tools to work with foil, nor the desire to purchase these materials.
Got to join in a book binding workshop yesterday at the local library. Been wanting to make physical copies of roleplays and TTRPG sessions I've done over the years like the goober I am, plus I do a lot of crafts with my clients that adding this to my toolkit will be great. The main thing is going to be learning to adapt it to various age groups and mobility levels - majority of the crafting groups are for helping build up or maintain motor skills, so getting them to try and wrangle sewing signatures together isn't going to fly for a lot of them lol.Pick up some stuff today, workshop had wood cradles for $10, just going to muck around with little dinky practice runs while saving up money for a home printer and figuring out how to format things for printing. Shit's exciting.
>>619706>Got to join in a book binding workshop yesterday at the local library.How did you find out about them? I'd like to join one. So far I've only done perfect binds (just gluing), I tried proper stitching earlier and it's not as hard as I thought.
Pretty based. How much does this hobby cost to start?You guys are alright here. I am from /pol/ due to a mistyped web link.
I do some moreso out of utility than as an art. I get pdfs of stuff I'm interested in that would otherwise be hard to find as an actual book (mostly /x/ shit) and make them into these softcovers with a flap. The design I stick with is based on this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJY4SJipiIo (there's actually three, this is the first one in the series.) Simple, cheap, and functional, just the way I like it. Bonus is you can use the flap as a bookmark.>>619888Depends what you want to do. You can go crazy with expensive materials and tools if you really want to. But just getting started all you really need is paper, thread, a needle and a sharp knife. Of course there are more specialized tools that make things easier, but the bare essentials are pretty cheap as far as hobbies go.
>>619888For reference here's all the stuff I use to make these>>619908Pic 1: Needles and Thread (it is linen thread which is different from your regular sewing thread and may or may not be harder to find depending where you live), beeswax for the thread (not necessary, but cheap and good to use), scissors for cutting thread, an awl, the Bone Folder, Knife.Pic 2: Glue (I got a nice bottle of from a real bookbinding supplier online, but there are cheaper alternatives even though this isn't particularly expensive), brush for glue, printer paper, construction paper for the cover, some cheap leather (I think it's suede technically?) for the spine supportPic 3: My homemade book press, really all you need is something heavy and something flat to press the pages under. I put this together for convenience that way I can move stuff around easier in my workspace.Also not pictured is a $50 used laser printer I got off ebay with free shipping.I probably spent a little over $100 total on all my equipment, but most of that was the printer and like I said not everything I bought was absolutely necessary if you're just getting started. If you're just making journals and stuff with blank pages anyway, or if you have access to free printing (student or through work somehow) you won't even need a printer.
HUH HUH HUH H-HUH
>>619841good job anon keep up the good work!
niceee
I see /vr/ invading other boards, and I'm fine with that.
does anyone have Paper Pendulum Clock kit or pattern? I have a kind of kit book but it quality is bad. pls share if you have better. I really want to make this one. thank you!
>>539494I saw one of these in a bookstore in Hong Kong one time. Kicking myself that I didn't buy it now!

>>609884This would be sick to figure out on my cricut
>>609884I feel pain in my hand just looking at this but it's really pretty.
Can I ask about cricut from here? My brother has one and I can use it too, been thinking about making one of these panorama things. Is there a wiki or library of cricut files somewhere just like there is papercrafts wiki? I found some websites already but even the paid files are very "love live laugh" or "jesus is life" style of crafts. I want to make something that´s not targeted towards moms.
It's not hard to do by hand and much more satisfying than using cricut. Print your design, tape it to cardstock and cut through both layers with an exacto knife. It's pretty relaxing.
Anyone here has this model and is willing to exchange?

I make small Origami to the point that when I gift people Origami they toss it in the Trash because it's too small to be recognised.Either that or I'm just too bad at Origami lol
>>616934based
>>616934>>616964just because some autistic people are into origami, doesn't mean everyone into origami is autistic.
>>616965Everyone is into cute origami just like everyone likes cute cats, now from liking cats to accepting one and taking care of it is a long way, same from liking cool origamis to actually making it a hobbie
>>617038this sentence is unitelligble. also how can it be a hobby?
>>611714use more elegant modelsthe smaller it is, the more immediately recognizable it has to beno I don't know any such models but I wish I did because I also like small origami
