It worked it from the tail to the head. It starts out with 1.5cm x 3. The bulk of the project uses 2.5cm x 5 and 3cm x 6. If I recall correctly the rows (the bulk of the project) use a total of 18 units. half 2.5 x 5 and the other half 3 x 6. you use the smaller unit on the inside curve and the large outside. this has the effect of making it…[Read more]
By bulk I mean most of the project. The whole serpent is nothing more than a tube. it start out narrow and then gradually increases in diameter. If you want the tube to bend (say your using 18 units per row) on the side(direction) you want the tube to bend you use 9 of the smaller unit on that side of the tube and 9 larger unit on the opposite…[Read more]
that does not include gold used for horn or purple along the spine. I’ll have to count those next time I get a chance. I kept a inventory list of all the pieces I folded as I went along.
are you using two sized pieces in each row. the rows us 9 -2.5x5cm and 9 – 3x6cm. as you progress it should curve in the direction of the smaller size. If not, try 9 – 2x4cm and 9- 3x6cm. that should curve it a little sharper. be patient it will curve.
i was using 9 by 4.5 and 7.5 by 3.75. same ration as the ones you were using but if size is the thing maybe it will take me longer since my pieces are much larger
Sir looking at this pic, i want to make a serpent like yours , but want to make a lamp shade too, not able to decide. My be i will first go for the lamp shade, i dont dare to make something like this so early. Btw from the comments above what i have understood is when we need a curve we will have to use smaller units for the inside part. Is it…[Read more]
each row uses to different sizes. as you put them together they will curve naturally. you put the smaller pieces on the inside of the direction you want it to curve
Looks awesome. It must have taken a few thousand pieces, right?
Thanks for the complement!!! You are very talented yourself!!!!!
Thank you for thinking so. =D
about 5,000 or so. It took me a few months to complete.

fantastic David ,like all your work.
Thanks lollaa. This is one of my favorite works.
it just wont curve. im 14 rows in and nothing. any idea why?
are you using two sized pieces in each row. the rows us 9 -2.5x5cm and 9 – 3x6cm. as you progress it should curve in the direction of the smaller size. If not, try 9 – 2x4cm and 9- 3x6cm. that should curve it a little sharper. be patient it will curve.

That’s probably why. stick with it.

You need to go with your heart and do what it tells you to do.

that correct. As you add pieces you put the smaller ones on the side you want to curve (direction).
Nice work!How did you make him to turn,I don’t understand,from comments from above you said that if you want to curve you have to put smaller pieces?
each row uses to different sizes. as you put them together they will curve naturally. you put the smaller pieces on the inside of the direction you want it to curve
