After much care and attention, diligently following expert lessons (courtesy of MrOrigami’s Daniel Brown), I have managed to successfully navigate lessons 1-11 in what promises to be an ever intensifying journey towards understanding the whole model. If at first you do not succeed, try, try and try again (something I needed to do for lesson 11 – which I folded 4 times until I got it right, each attempt taking me 12ish hours) Part 3 also exists.Īlong the way I have learned a LOT about myself – patience is it’s own reward. I can see why Satoshi Kamiya (the astonishingly talented designer) has not folded lots of these – the detail (and there is LOTS of details here, most you cannot see) needed to let the paper sit correctly whilst transitioning between elements is breaking my brain. So far, I have learned elements of the design in isolation: Origami Database phoenix 3.5 satoshi kamiya. The lessons after this appear to tackle larger and more complex chunks – the aim to get all pieces to co-exist on the same sheet.

Interestingly, although it is time consuming, I am finding the process fascinating, each piece gains a sort of momentum that propels me on to finish it and get it right, and I look forward to the next part with a sort of morbid curiosity.

Model: Phoenix 3.5 Designer: Satoshi Kamiya This model was folded from crease pattern. Bruh dunno when I'll reach this level I mean lots of his works are master class. Satoshi Kamiya: Square Crease pattern: Folded by BOS 2007 convention exhibitor: Sea turtle. I bought some WIDE Kraft online (90cmx30m) and, depending how it behaves, intend to laminate 2 strips together to make a square nearly 2m x 2m as my first attempt of the whole model – no idea if that will be big enough, we shall see. Satoshi Kamiya: Square Also in Works of Satoshi Kamiya 2 - 2002-2009 by Satoshi Kamiya Crease pattern: Folded by Shuki Kato: Ryujin 3.5. I spent weeks trying to find a repeatable and clean folding process for the wings. I think Ill lay this model to rest and move on. balances the fiery character of the dragon with the grace of the Phoenix. I'm comfortable at the complex level but Kamiya is something else entirely.
