i just found out that there's a simpler version of the origami butterfly i made (that i'm not really proud of because it's a bit scrappy) so i'm gonna try that instead. i think all of the bits i struggled on were the more intricate "fold and fold again" bits that made up the zigzag pattern so hopefully this attempt will look better
scrappy looking "Alexander Aztec Swallowtail"

for reference it's supposed to look more like this (this is a previous attempt of another butterfly from the book i've got)

big news . i just read the instructions for doing a process again, and it's told me that "the line might not always be in the center" and i was under the impression that if it wasn't in the center then i had to make another fold to make sure it's in the center. this could be the root of all issues.

it's still not perfect, the body of the butterfly isn't correct and neither is the head. i need to practise those two aspects, but i'm proud enough to put this on my wall with the rest of my butterflies !

this is the less complex version of the first image in this thread btw, it's supposed to be the same thing but without the zigzag patterns

fixed the body a bit as long as nobody looks behind it or touches it.
same butterfly as before but with a more slender body
