Anyone into Origami?

Anyone here into origami? I absolutely love it. Kept me occupied many a time during class

I'd post some pics of my work but I have too few posts. Maybe when I get enough posts I'll share some of my work.

Cool,
look forward see some your work. Which paper you find easier work with, that make best lines and crease's??

Foil backed paper works pretty well. I think that wed folding works the best though. This is where you lightly mist the paper with water and quickly fold the model before it dries, when it dries it dries with all the creases and folds in place and doesn't have the tendency to unfold.

I have some papers and an origami book, but have not tried this yet. It seems something always gets in the way of any hobby I start. Someday I will, though. There are some fascinating pieces of origami given to me, and I cherish those. They sit in my china hutch on display.

You should definately give it a try. It can be frusturating at first as sometimes the models don't turn out "right" or you get stuck. But stick with it and you'll be rewarded for the rest of your life.

Check out this site for some really awesome models for a little inspiration.

My family has done many things in origami, including a nativity set! It's packed away or I would try to borrow a camera and post it. It is well worn and loved by now!!! My son has been very creative and doien of the more complicated items and then threw them away when he went to college!
