These are very cool. How long do they take to make?

Thanks! I don’t remember exactly how long each one took me, but I thing the mammoth was a bit more than an hour and the dragon was closer to two and a half. It was my first time folding them, so it would likely go faster the second time, now that I know what I am doing. But for someone with less experience, it would take a lot longer.

Wow. That was your FIRST time folding them? That is excellent work! I think you will become a master. Did you ever see that show on PBS about the paper artists – I think it’s called Between the Folds. or something like that. It is an outstanding documentary on paper folding…you might want to check it out. I believe you can watch it online. Keep folding!! Beautiful work.
