Ogami Cicada Nymph

Description

Made from an 8inch piece of Paper Circle Ogami! I wanted to choose a model I knew fairly well to test the properties of the paper...which I will edit this to detail later :)

The paper:

The paper feels like it is someplace in the 25-30gsm range, with all of the strength I have come to expect from a sheet made of 100% abaca (no tearing, even on intersections, very low fraying on creases, even those that take repeated folds, etc). Also, I was able to unfold a very complex insect from about 90 steps in or so, flatten the paper, and re-size it (with methylcellulose); once the paper dried, it looked nearly identical to a new sheet, with no residual fraying or weakening of the paper, and only very light crease visibility. I feel like this speaks volumes about the strength, versatility, and durability of the paper. The colors are great, very natural looking, with saturation and tones very conducive to animal subjects.
