Origami Dreaming owl (Alexander Kurth) Tutorial

[@annbrown4787]

This is the best origami tutorial I’ve seen. Each step is clearly explained. Thank you!

[@beatricepazzucconi2866]

Smooth sail until 13:27, the suddenly incomprehensible. Video quality becomes blurry and half the times the model and hands are off camera

[@Peengveen]

Thank you for the great tutorial. This was the first owl i ever made, and it went successful! Although some steps were a little difficult, the steps were thoroughly explained and it was fun to make the cute little owl. And I have already subscribed to your channel! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@katypillar22]

Thank you for the great tutorial - this is the perfect little owl model! I'm going to make an army of dreaming owls. I already made 3!

[@quietmarverick]

+Katy Higgins That sounds great :) Would like to see them at the end ;) Happy folding!

[@forestno0k]

This is one of the clearest tutorials I've seen! I'm definitely going to try and I've subscribed

[@quietmarverick]

+frances hurst Thank you ;) It's good to hear because others say it's really bad and they can't understand anything.

[@LilYuchii397]

can anybody tell me what he does in 11:37

[@quietmarverick]

It's kind of a rabit ear variation. You divide the leg in half and bring it down. I'm sry but I can't explain it better with words. The important thing is to get a thin leg down. Maybe you find an own way to do that. ;)

[@peterkeiserjacobsen8732]

Beautiful design! Could you please help me with the corlor name of the tissue paper and elephant hide paper? Its a bit difficult to find on origami-shop. Thank you :)

[@zaftigo5495]

Great tutorial! It was easy to underatand with the verbal instructions, but some folds were a little difficult.

[@renatasaunders2559]

These are cute. I folded it with the wrong paper and it was indeed hard to shape. Could you share instructions for gluing tissue paper to elephant hide paper? Thanks!

[@quietmarverick]

Its not very special way to glue that papers together. I just made glue on the elephant hide and layed the tissue on it. While folding you have to wetten only the elephant hide but not the tissue. Because the tissue will brake if it gets wet.

[@mrskikaurin]

i've been folding for a while now, and this is one of the most beautiful models out there, in it's simplicity and elegance. thanks Alex, your work is much appreciated (i'm going through your available designs one by one) - design style, logic of your folds, intuitive tutorials... you are awesome! i truly hope to see more your designs, thanks again and stay cool M8!

[@quietmarverick]

Thank you very much for your kind words :)

[@kiranmasih8599]

Bro I have a question is it easy if I use a normal 15x15 origami paper please tell

[@quietmarverick]

Hey Kiran, with 15cm paper it will be small and tricky to fold. Also normal Kami paper is not that good for shaping that model. I guess it could work but not easy. And I have not tried with 15cm Kami.

[@kiranmasih8599]

@@quietmarverick Thank you for telling and the design is also awesome

[@richanddarksbane1439]

this is really cute, really enjoyed making it

[@marybradley4227]

Amazing and so much explaining the whole way and you talk I’ve subscribed thank you so much beautiful breathtaking lovely 😊

[@leiladupiag5772]

How do you shape it at the end I don't know how

[@quietmarverick]

You need paper which you can shape with water or you have to use mc-glue. With kami/printer paper its mit possible to shape it nice.

[@dhushyanthmohankumar594]

turn on captions at 2:11

[@quietmarverick]

Ahaha xD

[@berryheartz6015]

I got the back of post it noted paper to use as two colored- worked out well though

[@emmatran6161]

How do you make the eyes close? Cus every time I make one the eyes are always open

[@quietmarverick]

I guess it's because I use wet folding paper like elephant hide. You can wet the eye part very less at the end and after drying it holds the shape.

[@gabrielboucher2787]

Very nice! Thank you! I had lot of fun doing it.

[@quietmarverick]

+Gabriel Boucher Glad to hear that!

[@idamarx4363]

I love your Dreaming Owl tutorial! It is very well explained, and this is the first complex animal model I have been able to complete successfully. Thank you!

[@quietmarverick]

Ida Marx Hello! I am glad to hear that :) good luck for your origami future ;) keep on folding :)

[@i.h.m.d2970]

cool can i teach it on my chanell

[@M0J0S0D0]

Am I crazy or did you used to have a video of how to make the fox with the square, sorry I can't think of the name of it

[@candiceperez8364]

I haven’t made this yet but can I still use paper that is thin? That’s the only one I have besides construction paper..

[@quietmarverick]

Candice Perez you can use thin paper but the shaping and holding the final shape stable is hard. Maybe you have to use a bit glue at the end

[@candiceperez8364]

quietmarverick okay, thank you very much!

[@candiceperez8364]

quietmarverick I made it! Thanks 😁

[@alicea5]

Would a square paper of 14.5 X 14.5 be okay? I like the idea of it being small. Just wondering if 14.5 would be too big?

[@quietmarverick]

***** You mean 14,5cm? It depends on the thickness of the paper. I would not use 14,5cm kami because I think it will not be nice. 14,5cm elephant hide wet folded should work nice. If you have only thin paper like kami you should use a smaller size like 10cm.

[@alicea5]

quietmarverick I have no clue what type of paper it is, but it's thin. A little thinner than printing paper. Would 7.2 cm X 7.2 cm square be too small?

[@quietmarverick]

***** Hmm hart to say. I guess you have to try it :O

[@tuijaheino-mcrobert6389]

beautiful, but mine did not turn out at all like yours...

[@quietmarverick]

Its about trying again and again with different papers. I guess I needed about 5 attempts till a beautiful result :) so dont give up 😊

[@ashleyholden4911]

and then he switches to a smaller owl in which I can barely see

[@odentisabelle1735]

Nice job, but the end is hard to follow because the image is to blurry when you start to put volume, and it is the hardest part

[@quietmarverick]

Yes youre right. Its not very good quality. I hope you could solve it!

[@jysentertainment5210]

May I use tissue foil

[@jysentertainment5210]

I did it and It sort of works

[@quietmarverick]

+Jy origami Cool! Would not recomment it as the perfect paper for this model but it works :)

[@jysentertainment5210]

thanks

[@M0J0S0D0]

Am I crazy or did you used to have a video of your fox that stole the last geometry, I forget the name

[@breannaweber1371]

I loved this tutorial. Today, I started folding some origami and my first Owl turned out really well. thank you for taking the time to make this, and in such detail!

[@quietmarverick]

Thank you for your comment :) I'm happy to hear you started folding and like my video ;)

[@MiloGaming65]

Thanks bro I had a hard time but I loved the end result❤

[@ElsweyrDiego]

what is the best origami paper for this owl?

[@quietmarverick]

+Diego Weber the best one is hand scooped two colored paper but I don't know if you have a shop to buy it. The important thing is to have a paper which is not that thin and you can wetten it bit for shaping. Elephant hide colored on one side is another option.

[@doorhome9133]

[@ResidentEvilGirl80]

difficulty level please?

[@quietmarverick]

+Animaljam Nerd Oh that's hard to say. The folding sequenze isn't that hard. The shaping needs good paper. So it's not an origami beginner model but it's also not impossible to fold with less skills... Hope that helps

[@KHR97]

It's easy to follow, but why do you say occasionally: plexus?

[@quietmarverick]

+Róbert Kiss I'm not sure what you make. Maybe it's because of my pronunciation ;) I don't think I use the word "plexus". Can you give me one or two timings in the video where you think I use that word? Maybe the word is "next"? Have a nice day!

[@KHR97]

+quietmarverick 3:18 4:12 6:12 10:18 nexus plexus. :P

[@quietmarverick]

[@Pandoener]

Hey super Video. Weißt du ob man das Elephant Hide Papier auch schon auf 10x10 vorgeschnitten kaufen kann? Ich bin sehr unerfahren was das angeht und hab bisher nur Basic Formen gedaltet, mit Handelsüblichem Papier. Wäre super, wenn du mir weiterhelfen könntest. Frohes Neues Jahr wünscht Pandoener

[@quietmarverick]

+Pandoener Hey du ;) Ich weiß nicht genau ob es das gibt, aber wenn, ist es vermutlich sau teuer. Ich hab sehr viel Elefantenhaut, weil ich mal eine günstige Großbestellung gemacht habe. Da kostete ein Bogen 70x100cm 1,10€. Wenn du möchtest kann ich dir davon was klein schneiden und zuschicken ;) Ansonsten musst du dich mal im Internet umsehen, ob jemand so kleine Bögen Elefantenhaut verkauft. Dir auch ein frohes neus Jahr!

[@hederae]

excellent tutorial :D I made mine with kami paper because it's the only one I have, but I would really like to know what is the exact type of paper you recommend. how is it called?

[@quietmarverick]

+hederae The paper I used is elephant hide. I glued tissue on one side.

[@에모-j5d]

can l put it in cololed paper

[@quietmarverick]

You can fold it with colored paper yes. But the shaping is hard with soft paper.

[@vilainpetitcrapaud]

Your owl is fantastic. I " succceeded " tofold it. My problem is the end. I was not able to shape my origami correctly because I have not a paper as your ! Wich sort of paper do you use ? Happy new year Thank you

[@quietmarverick]

+Maurice Volkwyn It depents on how many owls you like to have. How big they should be and so on. If you are really interested, please write me an email with more informations what you like to have ;) You can find my email adress on my youtube profile. kzbin.infoabout

[@delphinelb8774]

Hi! Your video is really great, we understand all the steps! But it did not work with normal (80g) paper, what kind of paper do you use? Is it Kami paper? Where can I find it on the net? Thaaaanks :)

[@quietmarverick]

Delphine LB Hey there! Thanks I'm glad to hear that. Kami isn't good for this model I only use this orange kami paper for showing the folding steps. My owls are folded from tissue glued on elephant hide. You can also use elephant hide and paint one side. You can find elephant hide for example at origami-shop.com. The paper should not be thin. 100-110 gsm are recommended. Hope that helps ;)

[@delphinelb8774]

quietmarverick Thank you very much!!! Keep on creating :) See you soon!

[@quietmarverick]

Your channel is best channel

[@lionelmessi_29]

Yes its brilliant continue your job

[@АлёнаМаковецкая-е4е]

On your video, when forming a figurine of owl-origami, starting from the 14th minute, when you make the eyes, and the rest of the silhoette; there is no clear image of the camera; keep the owl at the top? where it is hard ti see, so the quality becomes bad. Part of your origami poet becomes inferior; there is no desire to finish it. I am sorry, but it is true.

[@quietmarverick]

Алёна Маковецкая hey there. You are totally right the quality on the end of the video is bad. I have not noticed it while folding and had no time to film it again. Sry. But I have to say that I saw many people folded my owl from that video and could work with the blurry part. At minute 14 you have finished almost everything. Its just shaping what you have to do from that point. Over that you cn hear what I say in the video and you can see where I fold. So if you use the final picture of the owl you can do the final shaping steps easily. As I said. Many did it. I saw the results. See it as a small challenge. Over that its always good to try variations with the shaping. Sometimes it looks better than the original :) so sry again for bad quality but as many others you can do it. Have a good day!

[@АлёнаМаковецкая-е4е]

Thank you for your quick response. Grateful with admiration rewies about your video are not alwayse useful to tht author? as if there where not many of them. May be we should listen to the criticism of one person - to make the image of your camera clearer and to the figure within sight of the viewer, and not you loved one; those. Do not take it far when shooting. Love for origami makes you respect the authors - professionals, smart and patient. Good day for you, please!

[@isaiahgill4525]

Is it hard

[@quietmarverick]

Isaiah Gill It's not that hard but you need good paper and it would be recommended to use wet folding technique.

[@nibbletsqueek]

that was dumb it can fall apart any moment beautiful but frail

[@Silent-sm3lq]

LOL what did you fold it with? computer paper xD Mine doesnt fall apart Maybe it is a lack of skill?

[@Silent-sm3lq]

He says to use thick paper in the video. That doesn't mean use Printer Paper XD

[@quietmarverick]

As William Ravenclaw said. You have to use a good paper with wet folding. It changes the paper structure while beeing wet and will hold the new shape after drying.

And I am not trying to excuse myself from what I did, but I am also trying to explain myself; I was trying to highlight that your camera wasn't in focus. I hope you can forgive me. Once again. I am sincerely sorry if I offended you.

[@quietmarverick]

Elizabeth Esguerra Everything is fine ;) Thank you for responding! I try to respect everybody and answer all comments seriously. But sometimes some comments sounds bit harsh and I try to answer friendly but also try to remind that I'm only human too x) So don't worry about your comment but keep that in mind for future comments on youtube :) Do you still need any help with the shaping?

[@quietmarverick]

Thank you for the compliment ;)

[@alexmulas6766]

what!! why did you change to another paper halfway? Make no sense!

[@quietmarverick]

It makes sense. The kami paper at the beginning ist bigger for better explaining. The smaller elephant hide at the end is needed for shaping. You cant explain it well with small elephant hide at the beginning neither you can shape this model well with kami especially not with big kami. So thats why I used two papers.

[@허순강-s8v]

Lovely Design! Thank you :)

[@trixter5187]

Könntest du bitte das Papier verlinken, das du benutzt hast? Danke :)

[@quietmarverick]

trixter Heyho nochmal :D das papier kann man leider nicht so komplett kaufen. Das hab ich selbst zusammen geklebt. Es besteht aus einer Lage Elefantenhaut (musst du mal googlen wo es das in deiner nähe zu kaufen gibt. Sonst kann ich dir theoretisch auch was schicken) die andere Lage ist Seidenpapier. Das gibts in Bastelläden oder bei Schulbedarf. Musst nur aufpassen dass du keins kaufst, welches beim nass werden abfärbt. Die beiden Papiere musst du dann zusammen kleben. Zb mit wandbelagskleber oder sprühkleber. Eine andere leichtere Version ist es das Elefantenhaut Papier auf einer Seite braun anzumalen ;)

[@quietmarverick]

trixter mir fällt grad auf dass du eventuell auch das kami mit deiner Frage meintest? (Das orange/weiße?)

[@ksksksks2143]

My Owl is not exactly like yours, but I love it! Thank you!

[@jmcd411]

I was able to follow up until you went to a smaller owl and now I am lost. When I try to `form the eyes, it rips.

[@quietmarverick]

Hey Jill, I'm sorry you have problems with the eyes. This ste is hard to fold with thin paper because it rips very easy. Maybe you can try to fold this owl with bit thicker paper like elephant hide for example. Also try to open the eyes very slowly. It can also help to open it with a round tool like a round pen or something like that which has the same diameter as the diameter of the finished eye. Hope that helps a bit...
