Origami Gallery -- Wet-folding

"Wet-folding" typically uses medium-to-heavy art paper. The paper is lightly dampened before folding. This allows for more natural shaping, and (when dry) a more sturdy model that holds its shape almost indefinitely. I folded most of these from Wyndstone Marble, an excellent art paper for wet-folding.
