Thank you all who replied about A4 and letter-size paper for color-change models, both through the list and privately. In her reply, Chila Caldera mentioned scrapbook paper. I know just a tiny bit about scrapbooking... (1) so there's scrapbook paper of different weights/grammage? I often receive emails by different origami groups inviting to their next meeting, mentioning the models that will be taught and the materials needed. I have seen often requests for scrapbook paper for certain models. (2) If there are different scrapbook paper weights/grammage, is it implied when origamists talk about scrapbook paper? Those emails simply mention "scrapbook paper", without stating a weight/grammage. I have often heard that patterned paper shouldn't be used for origami workshops, since all its decorations might make it hard to identify reference points when folding and creasing. If that's true, (3) does scrapbook paper during origami workshops, both in person and online, become a problem? Those of you who have letter-size scrapbook paper that's appropriate for origami, like Chila, (4) is it exactly 27.9 x 21.6 cm? I ask because in Colombia, blocks of "letter-size" color paper are often off by more than a few millimeters in each side.
