Red-Handed Jill Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 There's a fair amount of "wet folding" - you don't want to attempt that unless you're REALLY good. (I used to work with a guy who was a world-class origami artist. He used to make some amazing stuff for us.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misson Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hey Jill...I'll bet you think the folding pattern is interesting. (When I see them I tend to try and figure out how the folds produce the result.)

Red-Handed Jill Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Heh - too right. I'm a semi-novice origami practitioner - couldn't begin to do anything like that kracken. But I think I've got parts of it figured out, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misson Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yeah. You must have to have really good coordination and small fingers to make some of the folds in those patterns. Fortunately, you don't have to have any of that to construct it in your mind. Off into left field of the topic...I used to live next to this lovely old woman who lost her job because they told her she was too old. She was very depressed about it that so I used to make her origami swans and lanterns and stuff to cheer her up. I even bought a kit on how to make balloon animals and things. (Bet you never thought ol' Mission capable of things like that, didja? It's called good bedside manner, it is.)

Red-Handed Jill Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'm flabbergasted! And actually, the ex co-worker of mine who was a world-class origami artist is a big guy, with big hands. You'd think that would be problematic, but it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
