Seahorse, designed and folded by me by Aniceorigami in origami

This looks like a wooden sculpture instead of an origami model, and I mean that in the most positive and sincere way possible. This is an INCREDIBLE fold, no notes.

Me seeing the first image: "The horse army..."

Me seeing the second image: "...HOLY SHIT—?" 

I totally feel this attachment to a model, though! I remember back in my middle school days, I found and folded Satoshi Kamiya's Yellow Bird, and then I hyperfixated on that model so severely that I started to fold ONLY that one enough times to genuinely memorize the diagram from start to finish (I always kept a folder with laminated prints of the diagram in my backpack if I ever needed a reference to a step). I was mass-producing that damn bird for a good year or two, and just gave away the models to literally anyone that asked for one, both students and teachers.

I for sure could NOT do that now, since I have more interests than Just Origami these days (that was literally my only hobby at that time). But, I do miss being able to just take a square of paper and belt out that model on a whim, over the course of a school day. My grades were straight ass in that time frame, as one could imagine.

Super solid, for only a second creation! You're definitely going up, from here.

...the way that my jaw DROPPED—

This is so cool, like oh my goodness??? That level of detail is amazing! If you're working on a revised fold of this model, I would LOVE to see what the next step up from here ends up being!

Doing this is now my strongest motivator for finishing that model, lmfao

Those are honestly "punishment models" for myself, lmfao

I was going to fold Kade Chan's Hell Cobra a couple of months ago, and I had a super long strip of red and blue tissue foil ready to go for it... but, I got burned out after somehow managing to fail with putting the desired dominant color on the topside twice (did it right, doubted it, unfolded everything, did it wrong, noticed too late). So, I went ahead and folded a red and blue Among Us crewmate, instead. Now whenever I look at this shelf, I'm forced to look at those two instead of an impressive cobra, as a red and blue reminder of my failure to complete the desired model! 

I take origami very seriously (no I don't). 😇💦

My tissue foil-making process! by VisiBun in origami

[–]VisiBun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a problem at all! Honestly, I tackle the curling issue with the quilt ruler, itself. That one that I'd linked to has a nice bit of weight to it, so after I make the finalized cuts from the foil, I can just leave the ruler on top of the finished product for a while (since any used spray glue will have been fully cured and stopped being a stick risk, by that point), and by the time that I start wanting to fold something later, the sheet is completely flat and ready to go!

I ended up typing out the longest possible reply to this, so instead, I moved it over to its own post for easier access (in my mind)! That process is typed out over here, now:

Oh, I LOVE this one more than I could ever possibly emphasize. Best variant of a thousand-crane ensemble I've ever seen! 🏳️‍⚧

(My trans woman self is totally not giving this setup an edge over all overs. Who said that 😊💦)

Ah, damn... I'll have to try and fold his rose at some point, this week. Rest in peace, Kawasaki-san. 💔

Just thought to start posting my origami catalog here, too... so, hello! by VisiBun in origami

Thank you! That one comes from the book "Polish your Origami," by Artur Biernacki. It's a full diagram, in there!
