For some time I am developing masks. you can see them on http://tiny.cc/4jgyaw. I combined techniques of Saadya, Joisel and some of my own to make these masks. I used a foiled backed paper to make these masks. Foil backing is necessary to keep shape in place. Recentley I had to make a mask that needed to be lighted from inside. I could not use foiled back paper. When I tried to make it from 100 gsm paper crimps kept on coming undone. Then I used a cello tape to keep them in place and could manage to finish the fold. I probabeley could have done it using wet folding technique. However, it is a long and tedious process as you have to wait at every step for the paper to dry. I was wondering whether what I have done is an Origami and if not what is it?
