Now on to the tail.
-
OMG… incredible!!
-
-
this is amazing Dave! can’t wait till it’s finnished!
-
Thank you All !!!! Since it’s so hot this week, i’ve just focused on making pieces. going to wait for the week end to add more.
-
you are welcome!
-
-
AMAZING!!!Did you glue the wings?
-
yes, all the pieces were glued. Couldn’t figure out how to do it any other way.
-
Thanks !!! 🙂
-
But the wings are double.How did you do them to look like this?
-
it has two layers. I used a wire coat hanger between the two layer to stiffen the wing, so that they wouldn’t sag.
-
One more (and the last question) ;DD How did you make spaces on the wings so the bird looks very realistic?
-
by inverting pieces in a line give the illusion of individual feathers.
-
Thanks!I think i will try to do something like this.This bird is my favourite of all your origami. 🙂
-
I have to admit it’s one of my favorites also.
-

-
I really love all your works,they are all very nice!Keep up the good work.I would like to see more of them.
-
I wish I did, but I think it would be very difficult and very long to do. It took me almost 4 months to make this one.

wow.. .this one is so awesome!
-
Coming from you, Jack, I take it as a huge compliment Thank you for the compliments and this fantastic website !!!!
-
-
These are all amazing David. What you need next is a nice good SLR camera 🙂
Though, speaking from experience, photos look nicer if shot with natural light, the flash from the cameras are often too sharp and harsh for Origami.-
I agree. I was thinking of taking them outdoors and snapping a few shots, only it’s been raining off and on for the last couple of days. not good for the paper.
-
-
I’m thinking of making something big like this,but I don’t know what,maybe you can help me?What should I do(try to do,because it would be my first time)?
-
Just jump right in and give it a try. I always study pictures of the subject to get an idea of the shapes involved. Don’t be afraid to try. I left a lot of comments on this model about sizes and number of pieces as well as some of the techniques I used to do it. Read over them when you can. If you still have question, just ask. I’m always happy to help.
-
No,I don’t want to make your models although they’re awesome I want to do something myself, I just don’t know what… 😀
-
I recommend picking something you really love. It will hold your interest longer.
-
Thanks for all your help 🙂

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.
-
wish i had a better camera.
-
you have great talent sir.
that must be your greatest work right?-
I hope not yet. I still have a lot of ideas for other projects
-
-
Amazing…
-
ouffffffffffffffffff wow what a great piece. omg it s amazing congradulation 🙂 magic
-
Wauw !!! Really awesome !!!
-
im going to try to make this
-
go for it. I’d love to see someone else try it.
-
-
Really amazing work, i gonna try it too.
-
If you need any advice, just ask. I kept notes when I made mine.
-
I promise to take your advice when i be ready to make it soon IGW 🙂
-
good luck

ThanQ No1.

wat size did you use
-
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]
-
…..? bulk? inside? um i dont get it
-
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]

hey are there any inverse pieces? any tips you can give me. averything is appreciated. thanks a lot and its beautiful
-
The yellow on the underside and most of the head is inverted. everything else is normal so as to try to simulate scales.
-
-
thanks a lot. do you know approx how many pieces?
-
252 – 1.5 x 3cn green, 126 2 x 4cm green, 406 2 x 4cm yellow,
126 2 x 4cm purple, 3300 2.5 x 5cm green, 440 2.5 x 5cm yellow,
2794 3 x 6cm green, 837 3 x 6cm yellow-
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.
-
no dont worry about it. you have helped me enough. thanks a lot and i love your work. keep the magic going
-
-
-
-
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.
-
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
-
That’s probably why. stick with it.
-
mr foos i need some advice i think im losing my love at 3d origami wat should i do
-
You need to go with your heart and do what it tells you to do.

wicked! amazing =)

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]
-
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

Hello David,
I’m blown away…..
Is it possible and/or are you willing to teach us how to make one? Pleeeease 🙂
I admire all your work. You are a true talent.
I can only dream of making such nice pieces unless you would help me…..-
The first thing I would recommend is to try any many different pieces and techniques from various books and diagrams to get a feel for the different ways to put pieces together. I’ve made hundreds of different projects and was surprised any the little bits of information I picked up along the way.
I would love to show everyone how I come up with…[Read more]
-
-
No problem I understand. It was just a question.
I’m already enjoying your models by looking at them.
Please don’t stop making such beautiful things 😉
Kind regards
Sophie-
I do plan on making another Macaw. When I do I’ll make a step by step photo album. That way you’ll be able to see how it do it. I would really love to see some one else make some of my projects. Don’t give up! Thank you for your kind words.
-
Yeay!!! Awesome 🙂
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
I’m really looking forward to it!
I’ll start folding units….A big hug and good luck with your projects !
