The goal of this artis to create a given result using geometric folds and crease patterns. Origami refers to all types of paper folding, even those ofnon-Japanese origin.Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs.In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper, whose sides may be different colors, and usually proceed withoutcutting the paper. Contrary to most popular belief, traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era(1603-1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper during the creation of the design(Kirigami) or starting with a rectangular, circular, triangular or other non-square sheets of paper.Although almost any laminar material can be used for folding, the choice of material used greatly affects the folding and final lookof the model.Normal copy paper with weights of 70-90 g/mē can be used for simple folds, such as the crane and waterbomb. Heavier weightpapers of 100 g/mē or more can be wet-folded. This technique allows for a more rounded sculpting of the model, which becomesrigid and sturdy when dry.Special origami paper, often also referred to as "kami", is sold in prepackaged squares of various sizes ranging from 2.5 cm to25 cm or more. It is commonly coloured on one side and white on the other; however, dual coloured and patterned versionsexist and can be used effectively for colour-changed models. Origami paper weighs slightly less than copy paper, making it suitablefor a wider range of models.Foil-backed paper, just as its name implies, is a sheet of thin foil glued to a sheet of thin paper. Related to this is tissue foil,which is made by gluing a thin piece of tissue to kitchen aluminium foil. A second piece of tissue can be glued onto the reverseside to produce a tissue/foil/tissue sandwich. Foil-backed paper is available commercially but not tissue foil. Both types of foilmaterials are suitable for complex models.Artisan papers such as unryu, lokta, hanji, gampi, kozo, saa have long fibres and are often extremely strong. As these papers arefloppy to start with, they are often backcoated or resized with methylcellulose or wheat paste before folding. Also, these papers areextremely thin and compressible, allowing for thin, narrowed limbs as in the case of insect models."Information found at:WikipediaFind more Origami Art Here:Origami ArtOrigami Art Powered By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: origami - Home: origami - Forum: origami - Join - Next
