Origami
Anyone here who has any experience with origami? A few weeks ago I received my first origami piece, a very nice origami crane. When I recently received some genuine Japanese origami paper as well I decided to try it out myself, and succeeded in making a simple origami Christmas tree. Anyway, is there anybody here who has tried making any origami? What did you make?

My first origami experience was a long time ago, I had 12 years. and I tired to make a T. rex, but I threw the piece 
but without a diagram I used to make planes and ships (which can be used as little hats 
) when I was 5. Now I'm still trying to make a praying mantis.

I tried,I have a few boks about origami and the official paper but it was never a great succes.
I drink coffee from plastic cups at uni. When they're empty, I use them as an origami material. The outcome is called "the smashed cup".

Fascinating! Is it possible to see pictures of your fine art somewhere?

I strongly believe that a masterpiece loses its fascination when captured in a photo.
I like it but I can't make anything too complicated. I have a book with some simple figures I try to make

Damnit! Any diagrams or instructions as to how one of a lesser skill could make one?
However, on the serious subject of origami; I find origami a great thing to fill that creative gap you sometimes get. I have just finished making my mum a modular origami swan for mothers day. Theres a picture of it on my blog: www.abitofrae.blogspot.com

Wow, I'm impressed! It looks awesome! Must have taken ages to make. I guess you have to be quite experienced to make something like that? Do you have a link to the instructions?

It took me about 2 days to fold the 500 little pieces, and about 2 hours to put it together. Surprisingly, I wouldn't say i was anymore than a beginner at origami! It is just a very simple method for a very complex looking design.
This blog contains a video onto how to make it, or, if you prefer, a link to a textual explanation: http://anu-origami.blogspot.com/2007/08/modular-origami-swan.html
Thanks for the link! You're right.. it doesn't look too complicated, but damn.. that's a lot of pieces! Puzzle for patient people

Thanks for the link. I was interested in doing origami for a while so i looked it up on the net, but it seemed a little too much for my level of patience. 
Congrats on your christmas tree - i don't think i would manage to make a piece of paper folded twice.

My chinese penpal used to turn his letter to me into amazing origami puzzles to open. I loved it.
I did some origami from an origami set from the shops when I was a kid...made some swans and stuff, cant remember, but it was fun.
