Hi, I really admire your use of mulberry paper. I love the large fibers in its texture and so oftej fold it untreated, but that means it's not always practical. Can I ask what you use to treat it and how it affects its texture ? Thank you !

Hi! I fold it untreated too! I only treat it at the end of the process to shape the model and use Hairspray. It is a wet-shaping technique that consists of, once you have the model folded, you spray it with the hair lacquer until it is soaked. It´s important to wait a few minutes for the paper to absorb the product well. Once it stops being sticky, I start to shape it while the paper dries. It usually takes a long time to dry completely, so there is plenty of time. The final result is very similar to cardboard, it is very resistant and will last in that shape for years, without deteriorating. It is also important to apply this technique area by area. For example, start with one leg, then the other, etc. This only works if you fold the paper without pre-treating it.

Thank you!

Hi! I love your work!!! It's really cool.

I was wondering what the paper notations you write on the bottom of your posts were, and how they influenced the final result? Also where you got them?

I love doing origami, but I don't usually have access to origami sheets and don't really know anything about them.

Thanks in advance!

Hello. Thank you so much!

In my posts I write the paper and the size that I have used to fold the model, as well as the author who designed the work, or the author on whom I rely to interpret my models.

There are many types of paper with a wide variety of weights. My favorite is unryu, which has about 25 grams. It is a very thin paper with low density and very porous, which makes it difficult to fold, but with advanced shaping techniques, it provides exceptional results.

Here I show you a guide to various types of paper:

Single tissue: 18-20g

Unryu: 25g

Mulberry: 25-30g

Kraft: 30-35g

Hanji: 40-45g

Printer foil: 90-100

You must keep in mind that the lighter the paper, the more difficult it is to start, since it accumulates very few layers, so it would be the most suitable for complex models. Papers with heavier weights are best suited for easy or medium level models

You can buy adavnced origami papers at Origamishop.com, but I usually buy my papers in La Dominotieria, Arte Miranda and Japonerias (all this trhee stores has its own website). You can start with kraft paper, double tissue or kami, all of them are easy to fold.

Keep folding! we all start from "0" :)

Fran.
