Origami Basics

Since this homepage is mainly thought for people who are new to the art of Origami, I spent quite a while trying to collect all the basic information you might need for making Origami models. I am always open for your options about what might be missing on my page. I know a lot of people have had problems with my description of the petal fold so I will try to create a better description for this fold which is very essential in many Origami models as soon as possible.
