Right now I'm really busy, and I have lots of ideas for new videos. This means that remakes will have to wait for quite a bit - if they will happen at all.

There is another three headed dragon by Annibal Voyal and i think it looks nicer.. Check www.origami.com for the diagram. It is marked as maybe, high intermediate or sort of maybe intermediate or complex I'm not quite sure.. :D
You can buy relatively big origami paper. For example, http://origami-shop.com/ sells precut squares up to 35 cm (13.8 in). You can also buy your own paper and cut it to the required size. That's what I usually do. Some wrapping paper is good for origami, packaging paper (the stuff for parcels) also works, and then you can also treat paper to fit your purpose. You can, for example, buy tissue paper or mulberry and treat it with MC (a glue, wallpaper paste is often based on MC). It makes soft paper crisper, and thus much more foldable. You can also glue together tissue and foil (using white glue or spray glue) to get tissue foil. And if you're really ambitious, you can try making your own paper from scratch...
Hi sara.
Sorry for my bad english!
Your video are very, very important in order to learn well to make certain models. I would have a question: where I can find the origami's paper larger than 6x6 inch (like that one for stegosaurus).
Best regards
Well it could depend where you live. 6x6 is not that big i use copy paper and it works fine. it just gets stif but, yeah diffrent places sell diffrent paper P.S. i use 3x3 lol keep on folding
First off, I've folded the stegosaurus from 6x6 inch squares, but it's probably not the right size for your first try. Now to your question on where to get larger paper:
Many origami societies sell paper, even if you're not a member. I'm not sure where you live, but chances are there's an origami society in your country, and it might sell paper, too. Societies often have very fair prices. However, if you only buy one item, shipping costs might change that, especially if you're buying from abroad.
I stop at many stores that sell paper (almost any department store, also book stores etc) and have a look around what they have. Some wrapping paper is suitable for folding, and (given how much paper you get) just about as cheap as it gets. You have to cut it to the size you need, obviously. If you need very large squares (or long rectangles) it's a good option. The only thing to note here is that you have to "know" what kind of paper you want. For example, you'll want to avoid paper with a plasticy feel to it. Foil (metallic) is ok, as well as "plain" paper (but it shouldn't be too thick - unless you want to wetfold maybe). Before buying paper, you should probably consider checking what it feels like, and possibly fold a small corner to check whether it takes creases nicely and doesn't immediately unfold again.
Some art stores have origami paper, but I've found it's usually overpriced and low quality. Maybe I've only been unlucky, though. :)
Art shops do have nice paper, though, once in a while. Anything that doesn't rip easily and takes creases nicely will do. Also, you'll probably want to go for relatively thin paper (max 80gsm) - unless you're thinking about wet folding perhaps. Hard to get paper that's coloured on one side only, though.
Online shops do exist, but I've not really tried them out much. I bought some paper from Amazon. The quality was actually excellent, but it was a bit expensive, and took 6 weeks to deliver. I've checked ebay, which has some good offers, too.
What works best for me: getting rolls of paper, and then cutting sheets of the desired size.
