Here is my first attempt at the tree frog from Lang's Origami Design Secrets. I used a metallic tinted sheet of washi, back coated with methylcellulose. The paper cooperated beautifully until the final few folds. Then it turned out just a bit thick and hard to compress neatly. As a result the limbs and the toes are all a bit too rectilinear I think. Also I wasn't able to smooth the pleats in the eyes. Still I am pleased with the result, and learning a lot from Lang's text.

Love the frog. Just a total aside: methylcellulose is also the main component of ReNew dry eye rewetting drops as well as Citrucel. Who knew one compound could have such a wide variety of uses?
