Hi!

I was wondering where i could buy a book of Satoshi Kamiya's online that includes diagrams of his very complex models. I am strongly inspired by his work and am wishing to enhance my origami skills!

Thanks :)

Yellow Bird

Hi Sara,

I hope you get time to fold the yellow bird. My friends and myself graduated with Computer Science degrees, so we're nerds and understand this is a Chocobo.

Thanks,

Wizard

Hey Sara do you think you're gonna try the wizard soon? It looks complex but not as much as the ancient dragon

Have given it a try

I've folded the wizard, but it's been a long while since then. I wasn't happy enough with the fold to post a picture here, though.

Whay don't you try again ? It

Whay don't you try again ? It will be very nice to post a picture now you have got more experience than then and probably it's going to be better than the fold you already did

Not in the near future

Ah, these models take time to fold. And I fear I don't have as much time on my hands as I like. So I try to fold models I think I'll enjoy, and the ones that take hours are the first ones to be scratched off my list. :(

Please Help?

Yeah, in the book, on Step 46-47 in the Ancient Dragon instructions, can you please help me and tell me what to do? I have no idea how to make the pleat thing.

Check the Origami Forum

Please check http://snkhan.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=446 for several pages of advice on steps for the ancient dragon. Also, if you're experiencing problems early on in the diagrams (yeah, step 46 is early on), this model might still be too big a challenge for you right now.

As to the step itself, it should be fairly straightforward. Fold the edge back up, while forming a pleat. Do this by pushing in the diagonal creases indicated on the left and right to make the paper pop up, thus going along the mountain fold and 2 valley folds indicated in the step.
