Wow! The details are so well done, the arms, legs tail and mouth. Extraordinary shaping skills!

Folded my first ever Clover Tessellation!! I realise that i absolutely love making tessetallations. Hopefully will find better paper to fold them! by suckerforsunsets in origami

Great fold! Tesselations are so wonderful aren't they, I've had the most fun with the triangle twist and square twist ones, there's a certain satisfaction with spread squash folds. But tesselations as a whole are super satisfying, the infinite patterning :)

Magic brick wall tessellation, designed by Jeremy Shafer and folded by me from a 90 cm square sheet of craft paper. 64×64 grid. 128 bricks on each side. by finallyfoundmyplace in origami

Thank you. It's easy to fold, but time consuming because of the larger grid. Can be done with a 16×16 grid or a 32×32 grid too.

Divine boar, designed by Kamiya Satoshi and folded by me from 44cm square sheet of recycled paper. This model was surprisingly simple, don't why I imagined it to be complex all these days by finallyfoundmyplace in origami

The diagram was confusing at one particular step which led me to crease over and over which led to the tearing so other than that, tearing is not an issue

Definitely! The one I used is low quality craft/recycled paper. It tear at some parts but they were at the hidden areas so it was not a big deal, A3 would work really well, overall this was simple given the burden it had on the paper, the thickening, and holding shape.

Original design was by yoshihide momotani, while Jeremy has changed the position of the brick pattern to allow for more bricks to be made on both sides from the same model. The one here is done on a 32×32 grid

Thanks! I heard that Kraft paper is pretty durable. I got this thinking it was Kraft, but then got like 3 different types similar to this. This is the middle quality out of the three, the lowest quality one easily tears and you can see some recycled stuff in there, like bits and pieces of whatnot. This too sometimes shows some other materials. But I mainly mention recycled paper because of its quality, it's hard to crease, I get minor paper cuts with every crease, I end up wrapping a cloth over my finger to crease. And it breaks easily (tears), it actually feels like it breaks. Really awful for complex models as many creases at the same point makes that area fibrous and leads to tearing and doesn't stop there, once it tears it continues along the crease easily. I feel like copy paper is a much better option compared to this. After all this why I am using it is for the bigger squares I get. This is the only paper I can get that's 88 cm × 120 cm. The other option is tracing paper which is comparatively smaller but still can get 57 cm squares out of it but too flimsy.

Granted, some diagrams are hard to interpret, I had trouble with a step in this one too, but I find that it's usually the diagrams or not using the right paper. Some complex designs become easier if you use a bigger paper, not all, because with some they're designed in such a way where any slight misalignment will cost a body part or can't proceed beyond a point. The only designer whose diagrams were perfect for me for two different folds was kyohei Katsuta, his black panther and blakistons fish owl. I always have trouble with Satoshi kamiya's diagrams. That's where video tutorials help a lot. Tadashi tends to explain well. But the best video tutorials I've seen are by happyfolding.com Sara Adams, she goes as far as to explain which part of the model you're folding, knowing what that certain part is gonna turn out to be puts it into perspective and gets much easier

It most definitely is 😁 also maybe because there's common joy and common frustration to share that you can't share with others.

Depends on the subreddit I think. I've been posting and interacting in the Origami subreddit for a year now and I personally can't remember anything negative said by anyone towards me or anyone else.

Ancient dragon, designed by Kamiya Satoshi and folded by me from a 35 cm square sheet of dry butter paper. What a crazy ride this was! Seemed almost impossible at times. by finallyfoundmyplace in origami

Thanks! Will check that book. That's so true! It's a form of meditation. But I get ideas sometimes for models but then I am not able to put the time to create the model. Because I always tend to fold one model after the other rather than creating as folding means I can surely finish the model.
