I propose you 2 options, the full package for only 20 euros (free shipping and you will receive it between 2 and 3 weeks) that includes: If you want to build your own dragon, why not order yours ? It is very fun and very easy to do it. After few hours, I started to put together the head, the body and the paws, again with the glue and again waiting few hours more, in fact, during a whole night.Īt the next morning, I got a beautiful and great chinese dragon made of papers and with a lot of unused gold papers, I fold more than I should, well not really a problem, I just kept them in a corner of my desk in case if one day I will use this paper art to build another figurine. Now that all the main parts were built, I just had to wait that the glue dried. The fact to build the body in 2 parts makes the structure stronger because with only one, it can break easily, above all if I want to bend it to create a movement effect. The back should be smaller than the belly. This section took me a little more time and it is also composed of 2 elements, the belly with the tail and the back with the thorns. Building them separately then with the glue, I stuck them together to form the head with the open jaw. This section is composed of 2 parts, the lower and the upper jaw. Keeping that in mind, I started to connect the triangle papers, one by one Also, I had to take in account that the hind paws should be bigger than the fore paws. The paws are composed of 2 elements, the legs and the claws. After doing the hard folding part, I wanted to do something easy and quick, something I could say “at the end, it starts to look like ?” so for me, the easy one is the paw then the head. I still had a lot of papers but at least, I didn’t feel lost anymore in this paper sea.Īt this moment, I took a break, just to prepare a tea and thinking of the best option, build first the head, the body or the paws. After passing about 6 hours folding them in triangle, my fingers felt like if they were running for the Olympic Games to win the gold medal, heavy and tied. Like you can see, they were all in yellow color but I could choose them in blue, green. I asked myself one last time “am I sure to want to do it today ?”. First, I didn’t use only one paper but a lot of small papers like you can see on the pictures below, so much that my desk seemed tiny that ![]() Now that everyone knows what origami is, I will start to tell you about my dragon. The size of the paper is not the most important, of course I exclude the tiniest ones, but let’s imagine that you use a normal A4 format, by using this art technique, you will fold the paper until to get the form of a lion or a swan for example. Origami is a japonese word and the literal translation is “folding paper”. I would have left 4 stars if all the models were out of one sheet of paper.Before to start telling you how I built my chinese dragon in paper, it may be a good idea to explain what is origami ? If you know what is it, just skip this part if not, keep readiiing. That would have been better in my opinion. The simple designs could have been put together in one book as well as the complex ones. Still the designs are great but I think there is a big gab from simple to complex. The Ancient Dragon looks somehow modified but I don't know yet if it is. I'm still looking forward to fold this one because it looks amazing but I would have been even more excited if was out of one piece like the Ancient Dragon. Especially the Grand Dragon by Joseph Wu. The cover and the whole design looks like a book for experienced folders.įurthermore I was even more diappointed when I realized that some of the models are out of multiple sheets. Unfortunately in the end I was a little bit disappointed because I expected a book with just complex dragons. ( Read more) the publication and coudn't wait it to be realeased. Review added the Monday 30 August 2021 by Alan HĪ wonderful book with several different dragons. ![]()
