I've just succeeded in folding this.

It's taken me 3 attempts to do it, I had to go out and buy some proper origami paper to do it and it is easily the hardest most technical thing I've ever folded, I basically had to learn a load of new folds in order to do it. The figure is tres ropey, but I started with a far to small sheet of paper...I'm going to see in I can get some larger squares and do a better version. It's a bit late over here in the UK but i will post a picture of my (admittedly poor) efforts.

Anybody else into the art of paper folding?

I have seen it done, never do it myself.  You are quite the talented young lady.   ;D

Oh my goodness, HOW many steps? 50!?  :o
I got into paper folding a few years ago and can make a decent amount of basic stuff from memory, but I have to admit I have never tried anything anywhere near as complicated as that! Well done for managing it! (:

That's so cool! you should totally post pictures of your ones.

You look heaps like my art tutor from last year.  It's the glasses and the hair and the camera I think. If you have a gap between your teeth, you'd be her splitting image!

That's really cool.  I've always liked origami, but I've never had the patience to actually do it.

Wow I've never done a dragon but I did 1,000 swans last years and they were over flowing in my closet lol!
They say if you do 1,000 you can make a wish :) I bet you can guess what I wished for!

A thousand swans sounds really cool, you must have been folding them for ages. hehe. and I hope the wish come true  ;)

Right, here's the picture...



I've found some more designs for origami dragons so expect a few more pictures. hehe

I do it to keep my fingers busy. It is that or smoke or go bananas.  I sometimes do the bananas.

I have seen Origami books that have the design printed on the pages.  After seeing how it turned out for you, I might give it a go.

Great Job, Girl.  Awesome!
