Thanks a lot! With this info, I managed to fold folk which look rather like
Kasahara's! I first folded a frog base, and then tuck the 4 little flaps
inside the body. Then, I folded the legs from the two front-most points: first
an inside reverse fold so that the legs points about 45 degrees or so to
the sides, then fold them up and down again so that they meet at the centre,
below the body. There will be "knees" - tuck them inside the body. Then the
hands: inside reverse fold them up and then fold them down in front of the
body, perhaps also folding the arms lengthwise to make them thinner. Then,
fold the top of the body at a 90-degree angle to the body, and tuck the
folded part inside a waterbomb which is made from a paper whose size is
about a quarter of the original paper. Oh, and inside-revere-fold the
legs twice to get feet! I'm not sure if this is an understandable description.
Hopefully, because I think they are quite cute! (If the back happens to
fold in a right way, they appear to have backpacks, too!)

        Someone asked about doing origami with fabric...
the quilter in our midst took this in one direction,
but I've been thinking recently about folding large
models from fabric for other reasons. Basically, I was
going to get some big cloth squares, (of course, you
can get almost any pattern of cloth easily) fold the
model, and at each stage where the fold is creased, use
a steam iron/spray starch or some such. The neeto thing
about this, apart from the ready availability of
material of all sizes, is that once you wash the model,
all the creases come out and you can make something else.
Has anyone else tried this ?
        Baz.

At first my intention was to create flat fold origami in fabrics to be tacked
down on quilts. In Quiltland we use "Flat Bisquits" starting with say a 2"
base square and a 3 - 3.5" top fabric. The top is sew down to the base with
pleats, resulting in a puff. To achieve the "origami" effect you then twist
the excess fabric into a square. The resulting square resembles this ->

        |    |   |
        |   /\   |  Well, you get the idea. You must twist in one direction,
        |  /  \  |  but silly me can't remember which way! 8^)
        |_/    \_|
        | \    / |
        |  \  /  |
        |   \/   |
        |___|____|

When I did this, however, I didn't twist it in the "correct" direction. The
fold resulted in a "pinwheel" pattern which was very attractive.

But I think that I would like to play with dimensional origami in fabric too.
I would tack the sculpture down to wall hangings, of course, which require
little laundering and handling.

I'll let everyone know how things work out.

Hi.
        Setting up Ghostscript is a pain in the butt.  you need to set at
least the following environment variables: GS_LIB,GSWN_LIB (the second for GS
for windows) both to be the directory where your GS executables are.  If you
do this, it should run.  However, you will find that it doesn't understand
where the fonts are: you get all your pics displayed in the uglyr.gsf font
(which is REALLY ugly).  To get it to understand this, you need to say, eg:
gs.exe -Ic:\etc\gs;c:\etc\gs\fonts the letter there in case you're using OEM
fonts is the capital i, not small l.  The directorys there are all the places
my gs fonts are to be found.  If you look in the gs directory, you'll see
several .bat files : I assume they're there so you can put this command in a
'gs.bat' and only ever call that, to save on typing.  personally, I use
GhostView as a front end to GhostScript, which allows me to add that part of
the command on in a menu. 

        Hope this helps.

Subject: fabric origami-textiles

>Someone asked about doing origami with fabric.

I have been giving workshops on fabric origami. Initially, I was prompted by
running out of paper.

I find that 100% cotton broadcloth works best.  But I have used several types
of fabric such as old kimono cloth, taffetas, silk, embroidered linen, even
fine wool, etc.

There is always a ready availability of wonderful designs in cotton, it's
inexpensive, and very forgiving to fold.  The textile market is currently
featuring many printed designs with a solid color reverse side. And if you
can't find just the right combination, laminating two fabrics will achieve
the same effect.

Scale is dependent on fabric thickness.  A thicker fabric requires a larger
square than a thinner fabric which will make crisp folds.  Folding can be
done in a damp to dry state, as needs dictate.  It may be re-dampened.  A
hairdryer can always hasten the "set" of a fold.

Any fabric store offers endless possibilities but if you need something
really unique to complement your finished folds, try some other techniques:

Stamping, both woodcut patterns or rubber stamp/ ink pads; textile acrylic
paints for water color effect, air brush, stamping, silk screen; laminating
rice paper to a solid color fabric; embroiderying; fine beading to define a
pattern.

Animals and objects can be greatly enhanced by the use of controlled color as
texture, definition, and ombre shading.  Most of these products can be found
in any large craft store.

Dave Brill has devised a model of a nut and bolt (two pieces of paper).
They really interlock when you turn the bolt into the nut. It was published
in the not so very well known Origami periodic called 'The Origami
Collection', issue Jan 1989.

Maybe you can adapt it to look more like a corkscrew.

I think also that there is only one Black Forest Cuckoo clock folded. I have
seen it at the convention in New York in july 1994. It is splendid. But it is
also very difficult and time consuming to fold it. That is a project to do
only once.

About a real running clock: On th New York convention I had several objects.
Among them I had a set of gearwheels in size large, middle and small. These
are each folded and assembled from several sheets. Each gearwheel was glued
on an axis. The small wheel was on the axis of a motor, so the whole assembly
was in motion. It is possible to make a real running clock in this way.
I did diagram the gearwheels, but there is a lot of text explaining how to
assemble a wheel. I'll translate the text and put the diagrams on anonymous
ftp at rugcis.rug.nl.

I did download the ghostscr.zip file on the archives (1.3Meg takes
forever!) and the file contains three versions of GhostScript:  MS-DOS,
MS-DOS386, & Windows.

The documentation for this program is very cryptic.  I did get the Windows
version to work by issuing the following command at the program prompt:

         (filename.ps) run

(Note: The parentheses are needed in the above command.)

This command did a great job of opening a window of the postscript file
(the tiger.ps is beautiful!), but what command PRINTS the file?

Also, what will this GhostView program that Baz mentions do for me that
GhostScript doesn't?

most PS is, but the stuff on the archive isn't)
All your favourite windows stuff, like Printing (it has its

windows printer. It inherited this slight anachronism from its
XWindows origin), and opening files from a menu.
It has on line help !

You need GS for it to run, it is a front end rather than

but I could be wrong. BTW if you can't find these in your local library,
you can have them faxed by the Uncover application, the price is pretty
hefty though, avg $13 U.S.

Hi, Thanks to everoney who has sent me help to get GhostScript up and running.
I appreciate the time.  I have tried them all but nothing is working. I heard
Graphics Workshop will convert PS to GIF so I'm going to see if I can find it
and try.  Maybe on AOL.  I do have a conversion program I'll play with and

Thanks again.

write to me direct with all of the symptoms & I'll see if
I can figure out what's going on. (I do a lot of programming

All I know is that Issei Yoshino co-founded the group in 1989.

(It says so in a book of mine by Mr. Yoshino, devoted to the folding of the
skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex from 21 equally sized square pieces of paper!
So far I managed to fold the head (2 pieces).
The book says '...a group of young origami designers...')

The "Origami Detectives" (in Japanese, the "Origami Tanteidan") are, in
the words of Robert Lang, "a small group of Japanese folders" based in
Japan. "The Tanteidan, composed primarily of young folders around the age
of 30, have banded together to push the art of origami by exchanging ideas
and techniques." Some of the members include Yoshihisa Kimura (leader of
the group; works for Toshiba; specializes in Japanese movie monsters),
Seiji Nishikawa (biochemist with a deep voice), Issei Yoshino (his T-rex
skeleton is fantastic...I'm working on my third one), Fumiaki Kawahata
(dinosaur specialist; inspired Montroll's zebra), Toshiyuki Meguro
(origami theorist; creator of a sea urchin with 144 spines), Hiroaki
Takai, Masao okamura (origami history expert; specializes in folding
sembazuru), Minoru Suzuki (miniturist--has folded Montroll's chessboard to
the size of 1/4" square), and Masao Hatori (sushi chef and technical folder).
Kawahata has taken Yoshino's idea further and has created skeletons for
the stegosaurus, triceratops, brachiosaurus, and dimetrodon. His dinosaurs
include the ankylosaurus, stegosaurus, styracosaurus, and tuojiangosaurus
"which has to take the prize for the most points on a single dinosaur. It
is best described as a Stegosaurus in which the single row of plates has
been replaced by a double row of spikes." [Lang]  Yoshino has created
some fighter aircraft designs such as the F-16 and T-12 trainer, complete
with colour-changed cockpits.

So now you have a bit more info on the members of the Tanteidan, thanks,
mainly, to Dr. Lang. As for their newsletter, I have no idea how you might
get a hold of it. You should probably get in touch with either Robert Lang
or Toshi Aoyagi (Toronto), who was his guide/interpreter in Japan. Toshi,
for those of you who don't know, published the English version of
Yoshino's T-rex skeleton.

Subject: Lang's book on creating origami ?

In an article posted to this mailing list and found in ARCHIVE.10 Robert Lang
     is discussing how he creates models and says:

"Some of the basic principles of origami design may be found in
Peter Engel's book, "Folding the Universe," and in an article I
wrote for New Scientist magazine in the December 23/30 1989
issue. For a more extensive treatment of origami design, you'll
have to wait till I finish my next-but-one book."

This was written in March of 1992. Does anyone know which book he is referring
     to ?

Hi,

They don't even list 'Sea Life' which I'd guess is the

Does anyone know if these dinosaur skeleton models have been published, and if
so, how might I get a copy of the book/newsletter/etc?

Would you mind supplying the name and source for this publication?

Thanks!!!

I just have a fascination for dinosaurs, especially skeletons.  Speaking
of skeletons, does anyone know if a model for the human skeleton exists?

Nits picked: Mark, hit your enter key at the end of your lines!

Questions answered: Engel's book, _Folding_the_Universe_ is currently out
of print. A second edition is in the works and should be released by Dover
(I think...clarifications, v'ann?) in June sometime. A great book! You
must get it if you are interested in tying origami to mathematics, the
creative process and metaphysics! If you look really hard, it is still
possible to find copies in out-of-the-way bookstores.
