paper type

what type of paper would u recommend

Don't worry too much about it

I don't think it matters hugely which paper you use for this model. Nothing too floppy, I guess. Foil-based paper will work especially well, I think - but Dave Brill doesn't work with that kind of stuff. :)
Using paper that's red on one side and white or beige on the other does add a lot to the overall effect of the model.

Intermediate?

I would actually say that this is not an intermediate model, but a low intermediate one. I found it very easy and quick to make. Sara, I think you should change the difficulty level on this model.

what size did you use

Like my subject says, what size paper did you use. I know that you used a piece of paper with the dimensions of 1:3, but what size of paper would you recommend?

Suggestion

Dave Brill suggests using paper that 30cm x 10cm (12in x 4 in).

Cool, thanks for clarifying

Cool, thanks for clarifying that.

Origami

Hi there,

I stumbled onto your website through You Tube. Can i just say Job well done on the website and its nice to see the work of a talented paper folder, I'm currently working on a 5 foot Kawasaki rose for my Installation work in university and i understand how difficult it can be to make larger models like the ones demonstrated in your site.
Keep u the amazing work hun!

hey sara its me, redgator 12. agian, thank you for the videos and for this website. i wish i could meet you but you wouldn't like to be hanging out with a origami crazy 13 year old. and your in the uk and im not. but yeah do you have yahoo instant messenger? i wanna talk to someone and i think it would be cool to chat with someone who likes origami like i do.

No yahoo messenger, sorry

Hi there,

first of all, it's always great to get together with people that are enthusiastic about origami - no matter how old they are.
Having said that - unfortunately, I don't have yahoo instant messenger.
