Dear Sara,

Your videos are awesome. Thank you soooo much. I have so much fun folding with you. Your instructions are fabulously clear!!! Thanks a million!!

You really inCREASE the fun factor!


Can I make this model with a hexagon,octagon or decagon???

My First. Thank You very much.

I tried folding these they turned out awesome. The center pentagon needs more work but overall these are beautiful! thank you!

Made my first carambola today and am very excited. It's not the best but I'm sure I'll get better with practice. Thank you so much :D

Really tried hard but the lack of use of the english language made it impossible to understand and too quick!!!!!! :( :(

Tried really hard to make this. I could not understand the instructions on the creasing so it did not work out at all!

A magnificent flower, with extra attention to detail.
I thought I saw a link to a PDF, but I can't find it. Do they exist? Please? I hope.


Thank you for your website and for bringing together so many designers in the origami world. I saw a link to Carmen Sprung's metal templates somewhere but can't seem to find it again. Do you have that information?
Thank you,
