Thank you very much, your

Thank you very much, your instructional videos are just great and I love this model of a navel shell! I tried it with kraft paper and it looks very nice.

Would it be possible to fold

Would it be possible to fold this out of gigantic paper, like 2 foot square? Or would it collapse?

Navel Shell

Hi Sara
Thank you for the wonderful instructional video on Tomoko Fuse's navel shell.
I wanted to show you my 1st and 2nd attempt at ever doing this fold...yes...the same paper "mended" and used again! My "mendable" hand fabricated paper at its best :-) The paper is small - 13.97 cm on a side/5 1/2" square. It was great fun to do. Thank you and I hope you enjoy seeing my paper.

Then I tried doing the navel shell with white copy paper - it is a very forgiving model to build.

Beatutilful and simple, I love these kind of models. :)
Thanks for the tips.

Thank you!

This took a bit of work, but your video and explanations were very clear, thank you! I've done modular origami before, so am not really anywhere approaching an expert, but I managed to complete this!
