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
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 !
