In early 2023, the first draft of Origami Mastery consisted of 52 works. After a few edits and references, my final decision was 61 works. The original book had 412 pages, with 7 chapters and cost $34 for pdf version and 52$ for the printed book.
Do you see what these numbers have in common?

I use Arylic liquid color, ratio with water is 1 color + 2 water, when the pulp is left to dried about 70%, I crumpled the sheet and spray the above golden solution onto it, let is splattered freely. Then let it dried completely to iron it at high temperature. This version I also glued a black sheet of tissue paper behind it for the color changing affect which is requires by my customer 😀.

Should I made a photo-diagram of it ? Since the structure of this snake is very easy to do.
This is golden Tapa paper, a new version of poplar bark paper in my store.
This is mainly used in Origami, what else purposes can this be applied? I need to find a society to share my paper into. Thank you so very much 🤗.
Emphasize on what should be big and important, yes, those are the antlers. This rendition really showcases what a male elk need to showcase..

The book is about 2kg of origami instructions. Models are all folded from single square of paper, no cut or glue.
This is my 2 kg origami book, entirely designed and written by me.
It is probably the heaviest origami book and one of the most advanced collections of origami models available today.
My goal was simple: to create a complete learning guide that helps folders progress from the easiest folds to the most challenging masterpieces.That's why the book includes 7 technique chapters, teaches more than 10 essential skills, and features 61 models arranged from beginner to expert level. The easiest model takes just 2 steps, while the hardest requires over 300 steps and more than 900 repeated folds.
The book represents more than 3 years of work, around 1,000 hours of diagram drawing, and hundreds of hours of test folding. I know there's still room for improvement, and diagrams in the book are drawn in different period of time and experience so I truly appreciate every piece of feedback.
The book is now in its 3rd edition. You can order it here:
I designed this Manta Ray after watching Planet Earth TV series. These great giants glide effortlessly through the ocean, inspiring me to capture their movement in a single sheet of paper.
With its wide wings and smooth curves, this model reflects the serenity of one of the sea's most fascinating creatures to me 😊.

An order placed in last month from a customer in US, from our Papermaking group member 😊. I am so happy and grateful.
I did not use the name Tigon, which is more accurate, because in Vietnamese, tigon means a kind of flower, not such a fantastic beast.

I personally reached out to Phat and asked if I could share his Smaug photodiagram on our website so that more folders around the world could experience folding this magnificent dragon. Without any hesitation, he kindly gave me his permission.
I am truly grateful for his trust and kindness. Thanks to his support, this beautiful design can now inspire and challenge even more origami enthusiasts. If you enjoy folding this model, please remember to show your appreciation for Lam Nhat Phat and his outstanding work.

I'd like to share one of my recent projects: an Origami Hippopotamus that I documented as a complete step-by-step instruction guide.
The model is folded from a single sheet of Papyrus B2, a handmade paper that I make myself. Before folding, I treat the paper with acrylic medium and glue to improve its strength and durability while keeping it flexible enough for complex folds. Once the paper is ready, I cut it into a perfect square and begin folding.

The most challenging part wasn't actually designing or folding the model—it was creating the instructions.
For every fold, I had to stop, think about the clearest camera angle, take a photo, and then continue. Sometimes I repeated sections several times just to capture an image that would be easier for someone else to understand. My goal was to create instructions that anyone could follow, even if they weren't familiar with traditional origami diagrams.
I believe a good tutorial is more than just showing the folding sequence. It should help people enjoy the process without feeling lost or overwhelmed. Finding the right balance between accuracy, clarity, and visual appeal took many hours of work.

I got permission from Lam Nhat Phat to publish his free photo-diagram of his Smaug on my website.
With so many video tutorials and crease patterns available today, I'm curious—do people still enjoy folding from photo-diagrams?
