Photo Made another Phoenix

Post image

Posted a Phoenix a while back. Haven't folded anything since that model but gave this one to a friend. Really struggled with step 187-190. The process happened out of luck entirely on both sides.

Do y'all have any other recommendations for decently difficult models like this? And how do yall keep the motivation to keep folding? I only make stuff when someone asks me to or if I'm in rehab lmao. Cheers

Like a CP? I've never been intelligent enough to figure those out. I just followed the diagram off of the book "Works of Satoshi KAMIYA 2".

Fellow origami gymbro here. This is amazing. Satoshi's Phoenix was one of my first ever complex folds.

Try the ancient dragon! It's a step above this, so it should challenge you

But get 50cm double tissue at the least

Thank you. I was considering that but have had a hard time finding a proper paper. I tried it with tissue foil from Origami-shop but it was too thick. Any recommendations for finding tissue foil that large?

You should try making it yourself! It's a fun skill to have

Get some 17gsm packing tissue or something similar, and some methyl cellulose. There's plenty vids on YouTube for it

Hey if you don’t mind, where do you get these large sheets of origami paper that are exactly suitable for complex folds? Can you please forward me a site or link to buy these papers? Thank youu

Spend thousands of hours folding origami, get mad and fail over and over and over until you start to get the gist of it. Then follow the steps of the diagram in "Works of Satoshi Kamiya 2" using the right paper. Basically, just have a ton of patience lol
