    Made over 1000 of these (3cm x .75cm). These are the half thickness pieces Danniele told me about.

      That’s amazing trick to use a thick paper, thanks Danniele and thanks David.

        it doesn’t take a lot of physical strength to make them that small, just very steady hands and a lot of patience.

        absolutely. By the time they’re connected they become like a light weight piece of wood.

I suppose if I were to make several of them I might be able to do it. I kind of like not having a diagram to work with. It gives me more freedom to do what ever I want with it.

            I would start with something easy. try to see the basic shapes involved. It will help you understand what you need to do. I also recommend studying a few pictures of the subject and keep them handy for reference.

      • Profile picture of David Foos
        dfoosdc replied 11 years, 7 months ago

        I’m just guessing, mostly because I lost count of the number of each. but I would say around 4000 yellow and blue. maybe 200 white, and around 100 each blue and black (not counting the beak). The beak is made of magazine paper (to give it a different look from the rest) I believe I used about 200 pieces for it.

      WOW! you are very talented in 3D origami. Envious of your skills and patience. You might want to invest the time to take pictures of your work in better lighting/environment. I feel like the pictures don’t do enough justice to what the model is like in real life.
      but anyways, good job!! looking forward to your future works 🙂

      Thank you so much !!! I taught myself how to make them. the first thing you need to do is get comfortable with the art form. Make as many things as you can find diagrams for. Then try a few of your own ideas. keep them simple at first and then expand from there.

      is the pieces used here for body, wings and beak are the same size used for the parrot?

      • Profile picture of David Foos
        dfoosdc replied 12 years, 4 months ago

        In the first one (the parrot) I used 1cm x 2cm for the beak, 2cm x 4 cm for the body and 2.5cm x 5cm for the wings. Since the wings were part of the body I needed to make the pieces bigger so they would stand out against the body and give it more of a 3D look.
        The second one (the Macaw) on the other hand used almost all 2cm x 4cm pieces, except…[Read more]

    • Profile picture of riya
      riya replied 12 years, 5 months ago

      is the same technique used in parrot? i.e., is the wings continuous part of the body? and the body flows under the wings is empty?

      • Profile picture of David Foos
        dfoosdc replied 12 years, 4 months ago

        It is. The wings are a part of the body at the top, where the neck meets the center of the wings. Then the body flows around a gag under the wing and reconnects with the rest of the body. If you could see under the wings you’d see a square opening about an inch wide by 3 incest long. I left that spot open to keep from pushing the wings up higher…[Read more]

        I guess it comes from studying the piece like a drawing. You have to figure out what basic shapes are involved and work from there.
