Description
So I disposed (squished) of my Paperpokè collection, as I needed the space for books on my shelves, and the models were becoming a health hazard (dust and more dust).Only half of them would fit on the table; and it looked so funny, that I took a photo. Now my noes itches and I can't stop sneezing, but at least my office looks much cleaner and neater!
I did keep a handful of them, the ones that have the most sentiment to me, like Lapras, Snorlax and all the Gengars, but the rest are balls of paper in a big black bin liner waiting for the garbage truck to pick them up next recycling day.
Don't cry - they had a good life

Thank you, you're very kind, but I doubt that I'll be doing papercraft like I use to (1-2 per week) ever again. Once I graduate from uni, I'll be busy working and any spare time I have will be devoted to sleeping, lol!

You didn't give them away?! You could have just placed them on a park bench with a note saying: "Free for all so go and catch'em all."

I seriously find it difficult to believe that anyone would want them ... my bad.

Believing is something you do in church or in politics. It's try out and see results that counts.
You are a good papercrafter and can create excellent creations, otherwise no one would care and show interests like leaving comments.

Perhaps it's more a case of I don't see much intrinsic value in a model made of paper. I know that I personally wouldn't buy a model made of paper, I would be compelled to make it myself at my own cost and time. And therefore, I just cannot put a monetary value on something that I see as valuable.
Does that make sense? If, on the otherhand, these models were made of vinyl or plastic, I would absolutely be able to justify charging money. But they are just paper, and paper collapses and crumples far too easily.

So do you have any plans on creating all the PokΓ©mons in vinyl or plastic?

Hahahaha! Hell no! I think I iz done with PokΓ©monz for now.
I was able to testbuild PokΓ©s back then, because I was a stay-at-home mom, and other than being a house-spouse, I had all the time in the world to make PP models. Now, it's a different story - my kids are at primary school, and I am back at uni, and when I am finished this course this time next year, I'll be working full-time (hopefully). So there is no reason for me to have any spare time at home.
Not that it was a bad thing - it was great! I met some fantastic people whom I love dearly, I learnt some mad skills, learnt the basics of photoshop, learnt how to touch-type, discovered how to differentiate the gsm of paper by a mere touch, discovered that glues aren't all the same, and found out how small the world really is regardless of the language we speak. It's been a good aspect/facet to add to my life's experiences, and I wouldn't change it for a million dollars ... although a billion could probably sway me!

Bye bye cute pokemons :>

It makes me sad to hear you threw them away. Was it not better you gave them to your friends and family?
You had an amazing collection.
π: 0 β©: 1
I have to say, that most of my friends and family are not into PokΓ©mon, (but between you and me, that's ok because I'm not either). And there are only so many models that I want to give my own kids, because that's not really solving the problem, just shifting them into another room! They got to keep the plushie models - mostly because they are small, lol
Ah, Marowak and Cubone are still WIPs and since I am not testbuilding for PP anymore, the resolution of some small issues is between POdragon ( ) and the next testbuilder.

Indeed you do, it would be this one: [link]

Oh, I see, and is it hard to do?
π: 0 β©: 1
I would say it's a fairly advanced level papercraft, but you never know until you give it a go
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh... letting go is one of the hardest things one can do...
Glad you did it without regrets! Time to move on
But I'm not ready for that just yet. I still keep my first papercrafts, all regular paper smashed ^^
Those were amazing papercrafts, and I'm sure you gave them an amazing life!

Some of these PokΓ©s have been sitting here on my shelf since the begining of PP! That's a while ago now. And you're right, you do have to move on, sometime. I've still got the ones that mean the most to me, and I'll probably have them until they fall apart.
Thank you for all the kind words
