"There's plenty of places to go to get resources for origami. Hi. My name is Robert Segundo and I'm going to tell you about a few of these. First you can go to your local library and actually ask for books on art, children's books on art. And, usually they'll have origami books stuffed in there. Also, you can go to places like Amazon.com. Amazon usually has a great selection of books that you can order online directly from the publisher or actually just used books from used bookstores. And, that's another great place to go to is used bookstores. People turn these things in by the dozens. I have quite a collection of books here. Most of these, like Robert J. Lang. He's an American origami author. He does some amazing origami stuff and you can find his stuff almost anywhere. You can visit his website at robertjlang.com or I think it's langorigami.com. Either way, you can just plug his name into a search engine to find him. Also, Lang makes a software that helps you with folding origami. It's called Tree Maker. It's on his website. He's got links to it as well. There's just many places you can go. You can also go to like cards stock. Going to the card stock aisle, they usually have like origami patterns there for different things. Craft, art, bookstores. Also, you want to go to craft bookstores to get good paper. You want to get good thin paper that's going to be easy to fold that won't rip on you. Also, another good place to get origami stuff is directly from Japan. If you know how to speak Japanese, you can go and just get stuff right from them. And, they put out origami books by the dozens on a monthly basis. So, these are a few places you can go to get origami. My name is Robert Segundo and happy folding."
