I have done that, too. Got some lovely results. Some problems here: the paper is tiny - 6 cm; you can't make sharp creases - it breaks; after being fired you have white residue that cannot be cleaned in inner parts. Two models broke in the oven, I have no explanation for that, it just happened. I will post images soon. Ilan
