Hi SFs!
We’re starting a new Talk To Tom page since the other one is full up. (Read the old one by clicking on TALK TO TOM.)
I am trying to answer every question! Just ask your question (or whatever you’d like to tell me) in the comments.
BUT FIRST… read these questions and answers:
The next book? Comes out Spring 2014. Title and cover star are top secret.
Can you be in it? I wish everybody could be in it. But the answer is, “no,” I’m afraid.
Can we get a search box? WebBuilder Gordon is working on that.
AND THE MOST ASKED QUESTION…
WHY HASN’T MY SUBMISSION POSTED YET?
I am THRILLED that there are over 500 submission to the new site already. But I’m sure you can see why WB Sam doesn’t put them all up at once. Your origami would be buried! So just be patient, we’re doing about 15 a day.
Any OTHER questions?
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn
Mr. I think I speak for a lot of us when i ask how much extra would it cost to put all our SF names in their because i would likely pat 3-7 extra bucks to put it in their
TomAngleberger
Ha! Great idea,,,, maybe we can have a deluxe edition….

Hey Tom, does Harvey like Sara? Cuz when Kellen was sad cuz he saw Rhondella with another guy, Harvey said he had been in a similar situation. Later, when Sara falls into the trap, Harvey said, ” Don’t worry Sara.that could’ve happened to any of us!” Prior to and after this understanding comment, Harvey is his usual self. The evidence favors a view of Harvey liking Sara.
TomAngleberger
I can’t comment on that, but…. you’re very observant!
SF_Pi
Thanks. I wanna be a lawyer.

Hey Tom, when I finish my Origami Rebel Alliance Collection, I will post it, fifteen clones, Han, Mara, and done! There is only Yoda, DP, TFW, HanFoldo, Kit Fisto, Assaj Ventress, 3PO, R2, Foldy Wan, Luke, The clones, Mara, Mace and Wicket, right?
TomAngleberger
Sounds awesome!
Will

SF_Pi
Oh yeah, and Sy Snootles
Peach
Tom, I know you said not to say this, but I sent in my Darth Malgus and The Foldy-Wan Instructions over a week ago and they still haven’t been submitted. Can you please check in to this? I have a lot of people asking me and I can’t do anything about. D:
Peach
Tom?
Jaimini

Jaimini

Jaimini

AustinC
Tom,
Do you want me to bring some of my origami with me to the Decatur Book Fest?
TomAngleberger
Absolutely!!!!!!
AustinC
Okay! I will!
Kenobi
Are you going to post instrux for the puppets in Jabba (Luke, Foldi-Wan, Mace, etc)
TomAngleberger
SFs will!
SF_Prime
Hey Tom I was just wondering when your birthday was.
TomAngleberger
Oct 24
SF_Prime
Thanks!
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, where do you find the paper for Pad-mé? I had originally yawn Notebook paper.
TomAngleberger
That was some fancy origami paper I had lying around.
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, I figured out Pad-mé! The hands are just like the universal puppet ears, right? And does the hair get formed by squash folds on the head?
SF_Pi
Yeah! 200th comment!
TomAngleberger
I didn’t use squash folds I don;t think…. but if you did I’d like to see it!
UserSFGrant
Tom,
I loved that you signed my book in Lexington and I wanted to ask you for JC’s email so I can ask him for adminship and possibly bureaucratship on the origami yoda wiki
-SF Grant from the wiki
TomAngleberger
Hope I did a good job on the drawing in your book!
I can’t give out anyone’s email address. Maybe stop by the OY EU and see if you can contact JC there.
SF_Pi
hey Tom, is that guy you planned to color nine numb, and if it is, will he be the cover star? and will you post instruc and a full color version
SF_Pi
I mean a full color version of the guy you folded.
TomAngleberger
My coloring job was really lame and now I’m all mad about messing him up…. 🙁
OZIGAMI
That’s okay Tom. We all make mistakes. I really would like to see it.
luluthejedi

TomAngleberger

Chewy14

Francisyodaguy
What ever happened to harvey’s yoda? Why don’t some body try to make harvey’s yoda and post it.
TomAngleberger
It’s the Van Jahnke Yoda and people do make it and post it.
Sf_Spy_Rise
I think the new site is awesome. It looks much better.
And what are the teams for?
TomAngleberger
Just for fun!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Oh. But I chose R2, because Art2-D2 was the book that got me started folding-wise.
LegoGabe
Hey Tom, I am a stop motion animator and I am going to be making Lego The Strange of Origami Yoda. Do you have any advice for how to make the characters look right?
TomAngleberger
Sounds AWESOME!!!
One thing that many people miss is that Kellen is African-American.
SF_Pi
Really?
Kit_Fisto
Really
Kit_Fisto
that makes sense becauses Kellen said shouldnt i be Mace Windu both african american or whatever mace is
CooperCarrier911
Really?! Huh
Will
I thought he might be…
Superfolder_Spence
I left out that the chapter should be in book 5!
Superfolder_Spence
Tom, a couple days ago I made a comment (on the old talk with Tom) about adding more E.W.O.K.S. action you said you would probably add something related to it. If so, maybe you call the chapter “Revenge of the B.L.C.! If anyone else likes it say something and maybe Tom will put it in.
TomAngleberger
Wow! Revenge of the BLC!!!! I LOVE that idea!
ObiDrawn
yeah,they could add 1 more hug-walker to the B.L.C gang,and Remi could find out if the B.L.C knew they were acting spugly!
odeyoda
Tom how can I post something in the video section?
TomAngleberger
I’ll try to post some instructions soon.
