Hello all, I recently took an intrest in origami and was wondering if there was anyone else on this forum who does it.
Here are some picures of my recent creations.

I used to be into it, but I haven't done it in a while. Where do you get instructions for those things?

Nice origami! How did it take you to make one of those?

I LOVE ORIGAMI! My 5th grade teacher got me hooked, ever since i have made something like 500 Swans/Cranes for friends and family. I also tend to make boxes and the flat roses for greeting cards and such. Do you use origami.com for instructions? Also, where did you get your paper? I have looked EVERYWERE for real origami paper and the shop my teacher used to get it from in downtown fredricksburg closed down so I have some colored printer paper I have to cut and I use that.

The place that I normally get the paper from is Michaels, if you don't know what it is, it is an arts and crafts store. I also get a alot from relatives.

Yes, there is a Michael's up in town, I will try to get there next time I head in to town. Last time i went there to check if they had any, they didn't. Also, where do you get your instructions? I find books are helpful if you understand the terminology (mountain fold, squash fold, etc.), but origami-club.com has the best instructions, including animations you control (speed, pause, play, etc.). I normally follow along with those to learn a specific fold. origami.com also has a lot of diagrams in multiple languages, so if you haven't already, I would check them both out, especially origami-club.com if you are a beginner.
