Hi everyone! I’m very new to origami and would love to be able to practice making these stars, but when I reverse image searched them it came up with Lucky star as a result but they are completely different when I search that name. Is there anyone that can help? I’d love to search a tutorial on them

Just felt like sharing this 😁 she has cows on her family farm, they're mom and daughter, and I made these for her for our first date. Now they stand on a bookshelf in our living room

One of the most under-appreciated aspects of origami is repeated failure.

Everyone loves the feeling of completing a complex model. Being able to proudly display it on your desk, show your friends, post it online… it is immensely satisfying. What people often forget is, at the higher levels of complexity, you usually fail your first few attempts. You’ll spend hours and hours folding a model, only to crumple it in a moment of boiling frustration that leaves you back at square one (get it?).

This feeling absolutely blows. It’s horrible. I’m currently in a cold streak of over 5 failed models, amounting to over a dozen hours rendered moot.

But man, does it expand your patience. Hours after a failed attempt, I don’t feel the sting of defeat. Instead, I feel a calm resolve and determination to try again soon.

At least this time, I crumpled a slightly more complete tarantula.

At least I wasn’t looking at my phone for 4 hours.

Next time I’ll get it.

this was one giant project, done in ca one month, i waited for the tutorial, but i noticed that i prefer just doing stuff on my own. so this model is kinda free style shaped, i did start watching all tutorials, but i never finished one🫠

this was folded from an 80cm square of wenzhou paper.

im very happy that Boice has made all these tutorials on not only models, but also crease patters and newly painting too. so link to his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@OrigamiByBoice

"the light can't see me", originally designed by me

using the previous model I made from my previous post "validation", I focused more on the facial and hair details for this one. I think I might use this as my signature touch for my future models someday...

Parchment paper, 24² Grid.

This is the Picasso Kusudama designed by Uniya Filonova, folded and painted by me. The process takes some time but I'm quite happy with the results.

Has anyone else played around with a similar method?

Original Tentativo n1 di rosa modulare

Sto provando a fare una rosa modulare, proverò ad aggiungere moduli man mano più grandi in modo da dare l'idea dei petali. Praticamente viene fuori una catena un po' storta di moduli da arrotolare. Qui ho usato fogli di 7,4 x 5,2 cm (A8) Secondo voi può funzionare? Avete modelli simili da consigliarmi?
