Folder:
Adams, Sara
Difficulty Level:
Complex
Model type:
Flowers & Plants
Paper ratio:
Square
What's the advantage of being a novice folder like myself? While Robert Lang would have to discard this fold as a total disaster, I can be quite proud of it. Yes, I want to improve to get a better result than this. And yes, I admit, I haven't quite understood how to correctly shape the rose in the end. But, I AM proud of this, because it's the first time I've managed to get something remotely looking like when the master himself folds it.
Paper: 26cm square of unsuitable paper for this model (thick, but not strong; not coloured throughout)
Model: tip to opposite edge of base pentagon approx. 7cm; height approx. 4.5cm

impressive
Well your flower looks pretty impressive... considering that it was your first try

Good job!
I think the final result is pretty good! It's Lang's model and therefore would be a realy tricky one to fold too! You have done a good job on it. I see the folds are crisp but the edges a bit worn out. I was thinking maybe your next try should be with tissue paper? You know...those lil packs you get in the gift wrapping section in stores? Or maybe washi paper? Tissue paper would be a lot easier to fold and shape too and they also come in 'double-side' colored sheets too.

i need help!
i've tried folding this model by the crease pattern on robert lang's website AND tried following tadashimori's video on this rose but no matter how hard i try, i can't make it look right plus i don't have the book.

Me neither
I can't manage to make it look right, either, as you can see. ;)

how do you divide the paper into 11 equal parts?

One possible source: ReferenceFinder
You can try Robert Lang's ReferenceFinder (http://www.langoriga...) if you want to figure out how to do basics as such, and cannot find other resources.

too complex?
is this model to diffcult for an instructional video?if it isn't could you make one
Submitted by Sara on 15 August 2010 - 6:47pm Permalink
Two problems
The first problem is: I haven't folded a nice rendition of this model yet
The second one is: The shaping of this model - I have been told - needs maybe two hours to get it to look nice. That's shaping *after* all the folding is done.
Hence I don't believe it's a suitable model - neither with respect to my skill of folding it, nor with regards to the complexity of the final shaping.
Sorry for the bad news,

Shaping
I did the model with double tissue paper and it worked very well. The size was approx. 45cm x 45cm and I strongly recommend mini clothes pegs for the shaping. It helps to keep the flaps in place during the lifting and twisting. Then one can remove the pegs and curl the flaps.
