This picture shows two first-tries.
I made tissue foil using white glue for the first time. The picture shows both sheets I made, one of them I used for my first fold of Brian Chan's rose.

Making tissue foil
I'd tried making tissue foil with spray glue before, which - even when doing it outside - smelled quite toxic. I think I also chose the wrong spray glue back then, which resulted in tissue foil that was too thick and the glue lumped when you creased the paper.

Paper: 48cm square of double tissue, glued together with MC
Finished model: wingspan 22cm, body length 12.5cm

I recently made double tissue for the first time, and this is the first model I folded from that paper. Rudolf (http://www.faltkunst.de) had also challenged me: who would fold this eagle first? One week later, and I'm done. Rudolf, what's your status on the eagle?

It's my first fold of the eagle, and it's not as tidy as I'd like, but I'm happy that I managed to complete it.

Last weekend I asked my boyfriend which model he thinks I should fold next. So he browsed through my books and declared he wanted a "Black Forest Cuckoo Clock" (designed by Robert Lang - see his fold). Yes, I screamed inside - I'd never attempted it because of the extraodinary aspect ratio of the initial sheet. That's 1 by 10, suggested size 16cm by 160 cm or 8 by 80 inches (as stated in the book).
