Fuck it, my curiosity has won in the end after seeing this board be here for years.

How can I start off doing origami as a beginner with no previous experience aside from making paper airplanes? (If that counts)

Try Jo Nakashima's channel, he has a variety of easy to insane folds. Also he has the steps diagramed on the screen while he's folding so you can get a feel for what the symbols mean.

easiest way is to just get any paper you have on hand and cut it into a square (look up how) then follow a tutorial on youtube.

that was me. still thinking about what could've been. tried to find the same kit online to no avail, similar ones look worse in quiality and are much more expensive. it's a stupid thing to get upset over, but to me it's just another proof that i can't finish anything i start

Congratulations on finishing, anon. I'm sorry about what happened in the middle of your folding journey but it's nice that you finished on Tanabata.

>it was the fitting end for my journey. Life is all about moving on, and that is want I most wanted
These are some beautiful last words to end your journey. It's been a treat folding with these cranes with you. I wish you the best in whatever you do in the future.

Thanks so much for the kind words, anon. Admittedly, my life's still on hold for the time being, but at risk of turning this into a blog post, I'll just leave it as "we'll see how things end up". I'll say that it is nice to be able to fold things that aren't cranes again. To keep things on topic, I keep a set of paper at work that I usually fold with when I'm bored. It isn't the easiest paper to work with, but here's a horse I attempted today.
I will say that I hope someone picks up the journey sometimes soon. I know threads aren't at huge risk of dying here, but I'd be lying if I said that I'd be ok letting this thread die out.
As a side not, I guess some of my images got deleted? Not really sure about that one but alright
>the front legs on the horse
Yes, I fixed those after I took the photo
>>625740
I think that, if it really is something you want to do, you should still pursue it. Cranes are very simple to fold, so you can really use whatever paper you find to fold them with. One ream of A4 can easily be cut down into 2000 squares if you want some easily accessible paper. There is also something special about origami made from found paper, so you could also get creative with were you get your sheets from if you're short on money. I guess what I'm saying is don't let it get to you too much. I've never liked the whole "it's not about the destination" outlook, but I'd hate to see you quit the journey over this. It is a very cool thing to dedicate yourself to that few people rarely try

Belated congratulations on your cranes!

seconded. i go to ren fair every year now since the big sick, and me and my friends make costumes out of nothing but cardboard (last years was a tamagotchi, pic rel). which i guess is more cosplay, but still. there are more ways to use papercraft than making a lil thing to sit on your shelf

Is it possible to learn this power?

Made a origami transformer (brawl). Personaly think its way better than a lot of whats been on the internet. Could only use printer paper so the model is still very limited and simple, tho i suppose thats a strength depending on how you look at it

Latest addition to my collection of Paperized customs - "Our Flag Means Death" main characters.
This was a commission from a fan of the show, who wanted to give smth back to the fandom in thanks for keeping them sane through 2022-2023.

Two of the Paperized customs I've done last year might be better known among German audience.

These papertoys are from the latest film, based on children's books about Der Räuber Hotzenplotz:

Petrosilius Zwackelmann as played by August Diehl

Is there a higher quality version of this book? It's called Dinosarios De Papel by Fernando Gilgado Gomez.
Around steps 14 and beyond, it's asking to Hundir something. But then something seems weird on step 19. Either I can't read Spanish or it's asking to do an impossible sink fold.

Hey I know the overlap between people who like paper modeling stuff and people who like home designs is small, but does anyone else do something similar to this? Design a little home layout in MS paint, print it out, cut it out, and tape/glue it together? It's nice to be able to better visualize home designs than just in my head and it helps me avoid using software. I've made a few of these and just finished this one about ten minutes ago. Seeing everything else here I know it may be a bit sub-par quality, but I'm still happy with how it turned out :)

I studied architecture so we did this sometimes.
It's nice when you do it out of love and have time, it's hell when you have to pull all-nighters the whole week and do them as quick models to trash and modify on the fly for the final real model.

I wonder how many architects used card models? Although they probably only used the card for walls with balsa framing.
>>
>>624119
I made a cardboard model similar to this in 5th or 6th grade of my whole house for a school project. I forget the scale, but the walls were maybe an inch high. So like 1:96 maybe? Took it to my friend's house and WD-40 flamethrowered it in his back yard. It was the '80s; that kind of thing was normal then. You kids have no idea.
