I enjoy your tutorials immensely. They are easy to follow, as long as I put my mind in the right gear. Thanks for giving a disabled woman something constructive and beautiful to do. It helps me find ways to give to others, instead of just taking.
I absolutely love the star bowl designed by Dasa Severova . Fold along to my instructional video to fall in love just as much. :) th-cam.com/video/2y1q8m7UdhA/w-d-xo.html
Dear Sara, probably a year ago i saw this video and tried but couldn't complete it. I was heart broken.. Each time i used to see the video and a sigh.. oh , any way i won't be able to do it. Meanwhile i tried folding hydrangea flower, pelleas box, naval shell and i could do it.. Slowly i gathered courage [i was scared of failing again] and tried and I DID IT! Patience and giving full attention to minute details which you explain is very important. You are a terrific teacher!! I folded many star bowl and each time i noticed the mistake i made and i improvised on it. It was a great feeling. Sara, what is that we feel when we fold correctly and rejoice over it? Even when ,the paper folds correctly upon the creases it feels great. I am from India and that happiness we experience we call BLISS. And each time the difficult fold is accomplished I feel that Bliss. Thanks a lot lot .
Congrats! That's awesome to hear - and also exactly what I usually recommend for models that are still too challenging. Fold other stuff, enjoy the process, and revisit the challenging design later. It's always wonderful to see how your skills have progressed! And it feels extra special when you then indeed complete that fold. I also agree that there is a special pleasure in folding, not just the result. Not too rarely I actually appreciate the folding experience more than the final model, especially if the folding sequence has a nice flow to it. To me, this is an important aspect when I decide whether I really like a model. I believe you can relate.
Wow. Beautiful, and I usually like a good Origami challenge, but this one just felt tedious and never-ending. Maybe I’ll try it again someday, but I just wanted it to end! Actually, I wanted to light it on fire too. 😜 Appreciate the tutorial though!
I just used the thickest, cheapest paper commonly available and it worked out nicely. Now lets see if it's also suited for wet folding... so far so good... yep, it works just fine.
I also enjoy your other videos. Everything is conveyed in a very clear manner. 👍🏻 And i like how you always give reference to the original designers, an act to respect the intellectual property.
Hey, Sara, I absolutely love your Origami videos, and I enjoy the art so so very much. I have a question for you. A few children that live in my neighborhood has seen the origami modules that I have made and are very eager to learn how to make them. Can I have, I wouldn't say a class, but kind of like a demonstration for them to show them how to fold the models? Im asking because I don't want to get into any kind of trouble, seeing as they aren't my designs. Would that be ok? Its just a few little girls that want to come over to my house to learn origami! Thanks
Good question. If there's interest, I could at least take it into consideration. I don't think I've folded 3,4,6,4 yet, actually, and as to the Aztec Twist, I'd have to fold it again. I first have to figure out how I could present it - so that it's accessible and doesn't take too much time. The response to 5-and-4 has been great, which makes me think that perhaps doing more tessellation videos would be appreciated.
happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online I agree I absolutely love your tessellation videos (I love all of them, as a matter of fact). Aztec Twist and Negative Space Stars and Arms of Shiva were my favorite advanced ones but Rhombus Weave was definitely the most elegant. I love Rhombus Flowers too, but the crease patterns were slightly hard.
Liebe Sara, gerade habe ich endlich die Zeit gefunden, die wunderschöne star bowl von Dasa zu versuchen ... und bin beim Verschlussmechanismus kläglich gescheitert. Die bowl ist so wunderschön, aber obwohl ich superexakt falte, scheint das noch zu wenig exakt zu sein für dieses Modell. Beim Verschlussmechanismus wollte die Ecke nicht "umklappen", weil die Falte zu weit ging ... glaube ich. Das Modell ist wunderschön, aber nicht gerade einfach ... Danke für deine Geduld. Jetzt muss ich nur noch ähnliche Geduld aufbringen, ... und es ein zweites mal versuchen. ;-)
Antonie Löffler Hallo Antonie Ich bin eben auf deinen Kommentar gestoßen und mir ging es ähnlich. Konzentrier dich beim Falten mal auf den sauberen Verschluss und versuche unterschiedliche Papiere. Es wird bei mir jedes Mal etwas besser. Alles Liebe Carmen
Been folding for many years - this is the first Sara Adams demo I could not follow to the end. Usually just Diagram dyslexic but this time video dyslexic! :(
Same. I’ve successfully folded most of her tutorials, including the tessellations, and with some, came back multiple times because I was very motivated to figure out where I was going wrong. This one? I just lost interest and patience. It wasn’t fun-just tedious. I also like the models that have very satisfying collapses after the prefolding. I didn’t have that payoff with this one.
Me: It's only 25 minutes, it can't be too bad! 1 hour later... Me: Now to made this fold... 7 more times... This is more of an exercise of patience than skill. The only reason why I'm continuing to make this is because I've spent too much time on this to not have a good result.
oh man, das mit dem wasser habe ich ausprobiert, das ganze ding ist mir unter den händen zerlaufen :-( für mich ist das eine wunderschöne, aber sehr schwierige schale. ich hab es fünfmal mit drei papiersorten ausprobiert und alle papiere waren irgendwie zu weich, auch das dicke. nach zwei dritteln der schritte hatte ich alle fünf male einen unübersichtlichen papierklumpen in der hand. aber ich probiere es weiter.
Es freut mich, dass Du mit verschiedenen Papiersorten experimentierst! Im Video habe ich normales Origamipapier verwendet, was gut funktioniert hat. Etwas schöner ist natürlich dekorativeres Papier. Du könntest es z.B. auch selbst bemalen: th-cam.com/video/bfIt_uqiPzs/w-d-xo.html Bzgl des Wassers: Du darfst das Modell nur leicht mit Wasser besprühen, so dass das Papier nicht durchnässt, sondern nur etwas feucht wird. Du könntest zum Beispiel eine leere Parfümflasche ausspülen und mit Wasser befüllen. Die Zerstäuber sind meist fein genug. Ich hoffe das hilft weiter.
danke dir! kurze frage: was ist für dich "normales origamipapier"? das, was es bei müller etc. zu kaufen gibt, ist immer glanzfrei und hat so blöde kurze fasern. das sieht bei der star bowl nach so vielen falten sehr unansehnlich aus. bei bedruckten bricht ganz oft der farbaufdruck. dasselbe gilt für geschenkpapier. ich bin mittlerweile extrem wählerisch. ich schaue immer schon im perlen- und im schreibwarengeschäft, die verkaufen zusätzlich große einzelne bögen. das normale faltpapier im set kaufe ich kaum noch, weil ich davon so frustriert bin. ich habe die star bowl aber mit glanzfreiem papier hinbekommen im fünften anlauf. ich glaube, das war sogar das absolute billigpapier von tedis. *stolz* :-)
danke für den tip! im fünften anlauf hat's geklappt. mit normalem papier, ich glaube, es war diese total schöne herbst-winter-edition vom aldi. :-) facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1615347185163329&set=basw.AbrlQfcgOJ0EIs3l80FF-m4hXvo0y5EuGUONf4uN-eVfKzjDpCM2nC_nDhstIdJTkyS6uPGFTDCzkUW_Mk1VhbiYK3DrlK4Jlk9McrZVY89XTrDYmFC5wNGlxAlZSBYuXePOz19LH2l-seZUpzi1VfPy.1485556348142414.1588673644497350.1613623875335660.1457754124255970.1516443398387042.1615347185163329&type=1&opaqueCursor=AbpOsuHomuJ9Z-iZA8QCVSaHUBLq2_JjZ2TjRt9Hwt5oWOSWGpR5mhFbHbwQuT1lLnRfhtnmJQ-XKfIhPVHvUWD0Zy-mVIK3lJ0sL_B18PloY_nKCNO2ajg0wRE7Q9KaRGFAGtoJoRYTK9KpLQKHd4o7i3rriN4QBbm3JkLigQ4cV9t258G5ROClBNLDSYSQ5tjsKQgxz0IwxAOaJ-ahOosfVsn9Pd8lQ7agyEhnEOBskbMNw-yAc_ajQ51QYxj5ZVW0x6BM-eadtMntToKmLvIjiiF3iBb2uxcuQeMHbkzTgdwDiRzt01dAR_15KoJ5hw_IP8R34C-DecMqfGQQjVsL_3CoJluSF9wAUexYlT1P1KLcG1RvJ94B-vnM-RSf_rnWXUYg1uiUfrUzRQFAwuVOVMEASz-rzoEK5d0RgA-hlQecaDaEHFu8EFQxERF32ZV591cfvyWib8vMYZoJ29wJe2OzQnFbxzAOr-l1X7j9uihgs3t84oUe2uPnxZoB10Vm8j5lAuA47E9TG9w3CB7o8MfNngCzaZJ_T0IWOkQTjxu4i5NqCBqWRMh-03jnJdrv3BYarRYBBmnYd6YzqEznK6S4_9ZSjd0kW778On03UukYj6072PVObeU0yuDctD_oKxYc2qv69emvQadMLA-7lJH2tRayGn1ZDCzKHmweiWTOYfub91s4NV9HXcRzaq4LNH2WrMLzmF7z5BDak3m83btKCQ75SpvhRozFFKUQPQ&theater

Thanks sara, very beautifully you expressed my feelings. Great ....
I love that non czech speaking people are folding origami from czech folders. 😍
Wow. Beautiful, and I usually like a good Origami challenge, but this one just felt tedious and never-ending. Maybe I’ll try it again someday, but I just wanted it to end! Actually, I wanted to light it on fire too. 😜 Appreciate the tutorial though!
Can't wait to make it!
Thank you, that is beautiful. I hope I can fold one soon!
but...but... IT'S PAPER GOD DAMNIT! paper+fire=more fire and less paper!
TomRajMC The metal cup should be enough protection, but of course, you should never leave a burning candle unsupervised.
You can always fold it from aluminum foil :)
TomRaj
and you can also use paper that is not to inflame!
❤❤❤
Thank You! I'll use as a vase for my next "oribana"! Great video!
Great Video

nice,I love the box

Thanks a bunch....Keep bringing us the fabulous tutorials!! :)
Superb....
I'm glad you like it!
Hi it’s beautiful
But which kind of paper you use?
3:04 oh darn it.
Will there be tutorials on Eric's advanced tesspieces such as Aztec Twist or the 3,4,6,4?
Good question. If there's interest, I could at least take it into consideration. I don't think I've folded 3,4,6,4 yet, actually, and as to the Aztec Twist, I'd have to fold it again. I first have to figure out how I could present it - so that it's accessible and doesn't take too much time.

What about Chateâu Chinon?

What kind of paper did you use?
In the video: kami.
For the display model: some paper a friend gifted me - she marbled it herself. Looks like Kraft paper to me.
