Origami!

Postby Android raptor » Mon Jul 11, 2005 12:07 pm

So, does anyone here do origami? I myself am very good at it, and can make so much stuff! I've also seen alot of stuff, such an entire nativity scene, various angels, Adam and Eve (though I must warn that Adam is *ahem* anatomicaly correct, but he was designed by a Japanese folder, so, um, yeah), Dragons, dinosaurs (w00t!), Godzilla monsters, and pretty much anything you can think of!

I used to do origami when I was younger. I got most of the designs out of books except for this weird three headed seahorse I made on my own out of what was originally a flower design.

Oo, you guys should check out Guspath's origami:

It boogles my mind.

I'd do origami only if I could manipulate and animate the paper the
way that Yomiko and the Paper Sisters do it on Read Or Die and
R.O.D.The Tv. :lol: :dance:

I can't do Origami, but one day I intend to ATLEAST learn to make a paper crane. That way, when a friend is sick or in the hospital, I can make him a whole box of them and send them to him. And he'll open up the box and say "What's with all the cranes?" and then he'll probably throw most the them away.

After that, I'll probably cry, but I'll know that it's the thought that counts and so it doesn't really matter if my crane were misunderstood and waste of forest.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I'm at a stage I make my own folding layouts to make whatever I want. But alas, I ran out of paper, and it's been a long time since I folded with a proper square paper. Stupid A4 folding...

I can make a few small things...my friend's really good at making cranes, but I can make them at all. -_-

Well, as for me...Ive never really tried origami, so Im not sure if I can or not. I would probably stink at it since I dont have any experience...but who knows, I might have a natural gift for it;)

i love origami, i've been doing it for years, and am a mid to high intermediate level folder. i've even designed a couple of my own, a goat and an angel. don't have pics though, since my family's internet connection is slower than molasses, so i can't upload pictures - T_T - i will share sometime though.

if you want to see some of the most awesome origami anywhere, check out Joseph Wu's website, it's easy to find if you search, i'm just too lazy to post a link. go. check it out.

is it possible to make an origami house that would be big enough to fit in, even if there was only room for one person and it was really cramped? I mean, im pretty sure that a man made a house out of chees before...so why not origami?

Cool! And yeah, I love Joseph Wu's page, but I wish it had more diagrams. And I'm going to try Guspath's gryphon from the photos. The only thing I've really designed is a compsognathus (a type of dinosaur).
