In reply to Star Felix (Carmen Sprung):

It took me ages to extrapolate the folds in this. I was up all night.

But it is very beautiful and well done.

Step 44

In reply to Sun (Peter Engel):

Sara, could I ask for a little favor regarding one of the steps of this model; I'm having trouble doing step 44 (sinking the nose inside-out). I hope I'm not a bother, but could you give me a tip on now to make it go inside out correctly, because whenever I do sink it to the back of the model doesn't match with what was shown in the book.

Old videos vs new ones

In reply to Lily (traditional): Instructions:

My old videos are much harder to follow than my more recent ones. Sorry for that, I was still learning (still am!) how to best teach on video. I'd suggest you go to http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions and check one of the videos on the first, or first couple of pages. Those videos should be much clearer.

Not getting it :(

In reply to Lily (traditional): Instructions:

... you lost me halfway through. Normally I can do the simplest of origami. I can do a pelican, simple star, and a few other ones. But for some reason, I cannot do these "simple" ones. I can't even see what you're doing half the time. D: I feel incredibly stupid. I just can't seem to do any of these "simple" flowers. I've tried two of the videos, and I was lost halfway in both of them. I had to click back so many times to try and see what you were doing the video because I just couldn't see or hear it. :S I'm giving up.

Maybe

In reply to Star Felix (Carmen Sprung):

I'm not sure what Carmen's plans for this star are. But I have asked whether/where she plans to publish diagrams, and whether she'd be happy for me to do a video on it (perhaps after the diagrams are published).

Works for me

In reply to Snowflake (Dennis Walker): Instructions:

The link to the second page works for me. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache? Or loading the link while pressing the shift key?

Not sure

In reply to Maple Leaf (Kyo-seok Oh): Instructions:

Hm, I'm not sure. I just tried opening the diagrams, and it worked fine for me.
I opened the PDF in my browser, which is Chrome. Perhaps you want to give that a try? www.google.com/chrome

In reply to Maple Leaf (Kyo-seok Oh): Instructions:

Hi, I am not able to see or print the third page of the diagram. My version of Adobe will not work with this file (I have the most recent version as far as I know here in the US) Is there anyway I can get the third page?

In reply to Snowflake (Dennis Walker): Instructions:

Hi, When I go to the link for the diagram for this snowflake I can only get the first page the second page is no longer available. It gives me an error page. Is there any way I can get the second page of the diagram?

In reply to Star Felix (Carmen Sprung):

This is truly a devine and peaceful model. Sara, I think your photo even adds more serenity to it, and your telling about your little Felix adds such warmth to it. My baby is almost 6 months. Your website and origami have given me so much joy during my "retirement time" during preganancy and my first 6 months with my little one. Thank you so much and do keep up the good work.
All the best for you and your baby.

In reply to Star Helena (Carmen Sprung): Instructions:

Congratulations for making it to the Kim Komando website. That is a very prestigious place!!! I love origami, and will soon get more into it. My grandkids are half Japanese and do it quite with ease, as they learn it in school in JPN. Have a great day!!
