Subject: RE: Fuse Box inserts

C - Hope your new year is going well. Looks like we might get some snow and
ice this weekend. How is it there?

Below is a message from origami-l. I can not find this book in the OrigamiUSA
book list. Can you tell from this description is you have ever found this
book? I have always woundered about the Fuse inserts that this book diagrams.

I am seriouly considering asking you to send me several Fuse books, but I am
not sure if that is practical. I have never joined OrigamiUSA, but thought
since you were in NY you might be able to purchase for me. Would that be a
bother to you? Please, speak up if it is!!!

Got to go chop some firewood. We need a nice warm fire if it snows. Take
care!!!

---------------Original Message---------------
It's ancient history, now, but I originally subscribed to this list asking
for help with directions for the neat little inserts pictured in the octagon
box in Tomoko Fuses book "Origami Boxes".

Well, now maybe I can help anyone else who could use this information! I was
browsing at the Kinokuniya bookstore in Seattle and found a whole series of
Fuse books in Japanese, some on boxes, one of which contains the directions
for the inserts! Hurrah! Of course, now I feel I should have been able to
figure them out for myself, but my attempts were never so pleasing.

I can't tell the name of the book since I don't know Japanese, but the ISBN
is 4-480-87115-2, and I can guess it's number 5 in some series, because the
front cover begins with a word and the numeral 5. It has an orange spine. It
contains elaborations on the 4- and up sided boxes from the Origami Boxes I
have in English. Of course, the price is a little daunting; I keep telling
myself it's not paper I'm paying for, it's creativity.

Gee, it feels good to contribute!

Congratulations on a successful project.  Please post more (bigger) photos

Well Mark, I was planning to wait until Monday to post my new web page
addresses to the origami list, but you got there first! ;-)

Various forms of the address seem to be working for different folks, but
this shorter one is having pretty good success.  Luckily, I live with the
site's network engineer, so we'll get it figured out.  Then I'll let
Joseph Wu know (who is about to come back from vacation travels) so I can
be added to his origami homepage.

You can also check out my origami page directly with the suffix
/origami.html (how original!).

Subject: Re: VOTE Re: List configuraton of "Reply-to" field

I may be wrong, but I believe what's being discussed here is
academic, as it is not a function of the listserver, but of
one's own email software. I get email via a number of different
systems, including 3 (formerly 4) different online services, and
no two do email quite the same. On Compuserve, which I use most
because the email software has a very good address book and
local filing system, all the origami-l traffic comes with complete
Internet headers (maybe 20 lines sometimes), but when I use the
email program's Reply function it chooses the original sender as
the address. So I must explicitly choose the list when I want
replies to go to everybody. Fortunately the compuserve address
book makes this simple. Other software chooses the origami-l
address for the Reply.

Subject: It's Elementary

-- [ From: Janet Hamilton * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] --

On Dorothy Kaplan's suggestion, I checked out a store in New Jersey
called It's Elementary.  The store in on route 34 on Colts Neck (across
from Delicious Orchards).  At first, we were disappointed - it had all
kinds of classroom and teacher's supplies, school workbooks, and
learning games, but no origami books or papers.  I did find packages of
play money for use in classroom lessons.  They came in 1, 5, 10, and 20
dollar denominations.  They were printed both sides (unlike the stuff I
had gotten from OUSA), and the markings were close enough that some
models I have since tried that used the markings have worked fine.  A
package of 100 cost $3.00.

 Then we found out that the store had expanded into a second building
across the parking lot, called It's Elementary Too.  The second
building had the origami books and papers.  The books were mostly from
Dover, along with a lot of paper airplane books.  They carried 9"
origami paper, which is sometimes hard to find.  I ended up investing
in a couple of books.

All in all, it's a worthwhile stop if you happen to be in the area.

There is a bibliography of the books by Tomoko Fuse, which includes the

publisher and publication details.

Hi Richard,

The listing of all Tomoko Fuse's books was done by Peter Messer, who is a
member of the West Coast Origami Guild (WCOG). The list was first published
in the WCOG monthly newsletter (Jan. 1995 issue). I am currently the
editor/publisher of the WCOG newsletter and could contact Peter by mail or
telephone. He does have a computer but I do not know if he has e-mail. It
would be surprising to me if he did not have e-mail. Peter lives in Wisconsin
in the USA, his exact address I will not publish without his permission. The
Fuse list was also published in a Spanish origami quarterly publication (with
permission from Peter) after they saw it in the WCOG newsletter by a member.
So I think that Peter would give permission to publish it in other places,
but he has to make that decision.

Hi Penney (and others who may be interested in folding teensy insects),

All of the models in _Origami Insects_ are doable from regular 10" origami
paper, with one caveat: my correspondent (and member of this list) Terry Hall
has ascertained that different manufacturers make different thicknesses. The
stuff that OrigamiUSA carries is what I use, which, if I recall Terry's
measurements correctly, is 4 mils thick.

Now, if you want to go smaller...this too is possible. The insects in the
photos in the front section were folded from thin artist's foil paper, dyed
and with the paper side out. I find this stuff in large sheets at art supply
stores and cut it to size. The ant, if I recall correctly, was folded from a
3 cm square. If you're feeling frisky, you might try the treehopper from a 1
cm square (which is the size of the one in the photo).

Good luck!

Jack's post about his success with Santa reminded me to share this jolly
Xmas story.

I folded some Santa's (probably different from Jack's) and attached
them to Xmas cards.  At one party, a friend thought it was a jet
fighter (looking at it sideways).  Next thing I know, everyone's
detaching their Santa and transforming them into airplanes.
Such appreciation, eh?  Well, at least they didn't throw them out...

Reminded me of another story.  Imagine John Montroll's Quetzalcoatlus
(flying dinosaur from Prehistoric Origami) as a Klingon WarBird.  I had a

I don't think Robert will port it into PC/Win platform. But who knows?
My first view of Treemaker did not give me good luck. I did not see any
minor creases? Mountain line and valley line are not distinguishable
enough. I might not run it right since I did not follow the manual step by
step. I recalled the successful try-out on the example file in the manual
of version 3. But I did not get any minor creases in any of my own test?

Subject: Hi from a new member

Hi everyone,

I've just joined this mailing list after finding out about it from Joseph
Wu's Origami Page.  I've also just sent my application form to the British
Origami Society.

I am 22 years old and I have been interested in origami for a while now,
since before starting university last year, and I have been making good
progress with different models.

Now for a few questions.

1. I like models which 'perform' such as the Flapping Bird.  Can anyone
   suggest other models which do things?

2. This is probably a question for British people.  A few years ago I saw
   a book which had a model of a bow tie folded from a ten pound note.
   Has anyone come across this model, in this book or somewhere else?
   Also, what is a good book dedicated to folding British money?

3. I have just folded a couple of original models (I think) of my own
   creation: a simple manta ray, and a seal pup.  How can I share these
   models with other members of this mailing list?  The tail of the manta
   ray is a little too short at the moment - how can I extend it while
   still keeping a moderately sized square for the body?

Thank you for reading this first message from me.  I hope to start
contributing more to this list in future.

Subject: Origami in Asia

As part of an anniversay celebration our local zoo is
focusing on the cultures of each continent on earth.

Our origami group has been asked to demonstrate origami
for two days to promote the idea of Asian cultures.
As I am preparing, I wondered if anyone
has noticed different styles of origami in different
Asian cultures.

I notice that Japanese books emphasize animals,
Francis Ow, of Singapore, like containers and hearts.
Is the Mr. Ow's  personal preference or part of his cultural
heritage. Is it possible that Korea does flowers in a vase origami,
and Thailand prefers flowers in a garland type origami?

I'm interested in any observations,

Hello, my name is Paul Slater. I am currently researching in Swansea.

I am unsure about regional differences in origami style, but I am very
interested about any origami demostrations or courses. Your Email

Would it be possible for an approximate date, place and time? I am a
regular vistor to Cardiff, especially Roath, and would like to learn
more about origami!.

Thank you!

With very best wishes,

Hello there!

My name is Paul Slater, a spritely 24 year old researching in Sunny
Swansea, Wales. I have been interested in origami for quite a few
years, and have enjoyed folding models to entertain friends,
parents!, and on a few ocassions, children in a local hospidal.
(Although the sega mega-drive was getting rather more attention!!!)

I want to know if there is any software on the market which would
make drawing of new designs easlier, and a lot less messy!. I found a
"zipped" program called "oridraw", but not being computer literate, I
couldn't understand how to unzip and put the program together.

Can anyone suggest a good program for the P.C.? (and for computer
dummies like my self!)

With very best wishes,

Paul.

Hi, Paul,

You may have a look at my web page collection - diagram editor section:
http://www.iia.org/~chens/diagedit/index.html
To be honest with you I am looking for a good editor as well. None of them
can beat your hand drawing if you consider yourself a computer dummy.

I'll leave most of the questions to others but I might have an attempt

Maybe not for the British this time :) an Italian bow tie?
Just this Sunday myself and an Italian friend were messing with the Kashahara
(I think?) rose from origami from the conoisseur. I was attempting to
demonstrate the tricky bit for which I've varied slightly from the book.
I succeded to the tune of about seven multi-coloured roses decorating our
windowsill. :)

During a break from the roses she showed me how to make a simple bow from
some rectangular bits of paper that were lying around. I think I'll attempt
to diagram it (HELPPP!!! in ASCII!???? :( ).

Hokay: here's my attempt:

Bow-Tie taught to me by Lucia on Sun 7 JAN '96

Paper size
----------
Just about any rectangle would do so this would be a good model for any
money. We started with the bits left over from A4 after cutting a square
from them. This gave us 1:2.5 rectangle which was a bit too long IMHO.
If you use an A4 dimensioned rectangle (1:1.4) you get a bow with each
side looking like a diamond.

I think it's time for an ASCII BARFIC to illustrate this:
    _____    _____        __    __
   /     \__/     \      /  \__/  \            /\__/\
  /      |  |      \    /   |  |   \          / |  | \
  \      |__|      /    \   |__|   /          \ |__| /
   \_____/  \_____/      \__/  \__/            \/  \/

     About 1:2.3ish?    About 1:1.7ish     About 1:1.4 (A4)
     a bit long?          nicest         It doesn't REALLY look this bad!

The middle square turns out to be placed in the exact middle of the
rectangle so I'm sure there are probably lots of nicley placed heads/crests
etc. that would look well there.

OK Instructions
---------------
1. Take your rectangle and hold it horizontally (i.e. shortest sides to your
   left and right).  The coloured side should be down.

2. Fold the top half down and unfold to make a crease along the middle longways.

   |_________________________________|

3. Valley fold all four corners in to touch the centre line to make a point at
   each end of the bow.

                          |_________________________/

7.  Fold two left corners to centre line. Fold foreward and back to make
    creases. Then squash fold? (is my terminology right? or reverse fold?
    both corners into middle.

                         >
                        /

8.  Now fold both points on RHS back to the left. (one forward , the other
    backwards)

                8.1 Valley fold front point on right to left.

                             <-

If you're a bit of a masochist (like me!) you could attempt ASCII diagrams.
Although - as I've just discovered - this is painfully slow! (esp. when
using vi!)

I just wanted to let you know (perhaps you already do) that Singapore is
quite multi-cultural.  No one lived there until the British made the island
into a port and then brought in workers. The majority of the population
(45%?) comes from China, but there are also large numbers of Malaysians,
Indians, and even Europeans.  It might be hard to "define" a cultural
preference here.

This ethnic diversity is one of the unique characteristics of Singapore (I
lived there for two years when I was 16).  You can meet quite a wide range
of people! Plus everyone's holidays and religious festivals are celebrated
so you get to participate in Ramadan, fire-walking, and Christmas.

If you don't get a lot of answers from the mailing list, by the way, you
might try emailing the tourist bureaus on the internet. (I have seen some
excellent sites for Singapore and Japan.)  They at least might be able to
tell you of any ceremonial folds.

The bow tie in ascii is impressive enough -- but using vi????? I'm

I use Designworks ( now in version 3) and would commend it to you.  I have
set up my own Origami templates and now do all of my diagrams on it. It is
fairly cheap and not too difficult to learn. I assume that you are a member
of the BOS or will shortly belong. If so you will find several of us using
Designworks and I am sure we will be only to happy to give you any help you
may need.

regards John and good hunting.

PS we can exchange diagrams very easily using Designworks

The program I use is called VISIO, it's for Windows/Win '95.  It's easy
to use, and relatively inexpensive when it comes to software.

Hello!

I just got a very exciting packet in the mail, and wanted to let you all
know, especially others who live in the Pacific Northwest and might
actually be able to attend.  It's not specifically origami-related, but
it's all about PAPER!  :-)

And if you're *not* interested, before you delete this message, can anyone
describe Itajime, a Japanese technique of folding and dyeing papers?  I
have to decide between that and another workshop, and don't know what it
is.  Thanks!

Okay, so here's the scoop on the rest of the ArtsFest, which takes place
on Saturday, March 2 from 9am to 6pm in Bellevue.  It seems to be centered
around rubberstamps (another love of mine), mail art and book arts (which
all have PAPER in common).  To attend the workshops, you must register by
1/25/96.  It costs $40, for which you get to attend 5 workshops.  Here are
the workshop titles:

        Multi-Layered Paper Sculpture Card using Watercolor
        Handmade Paper Card and Matching Envelope
        Colored Pencil
        Photo-to-Fabric Transfer Process
        Akim Cursive
        Rainbow Artist Book
        Japanese Fold and Dye
        Fimo and Rubber Stamps
        Mail Art and Found Jewelry
        Book Arts: What, Where, How, Who , and Why Me?
        Plants, Pulp, Paper
        Calligraphy, The Art of Mail and Beyond
        The Painted Book
        Artistamps
        Rubber Stamping: New Techniques and Tricks
        Make Your Own Photopolymer Stamps
        Stamp Carving
        Book Arts (slide show)
        Picture This
        Pastepaper

You can get into the marketplace only (no workshops/demos) for only $5,
from 11am to 6pm.

For registration information, call (206) 255-1543 9-5 PST.  I'm also
looking into selling my boxes there...

Let me know (privately) if you'll be attending -- we can do lunch!

- Gretchen

Eric Kenneway's book "Complete Origami" describes Itajime-Shibori and even
gives instructions on how to do it. (I just got this book last week, and I
have really been enjoying browsing through it.)

Essentially, to create a kind of tie-dyed paper, you fold an absorbant
piece of paper and then dip the folded corners in food dye.  Fun, no? I
might try this with my five-year-old :->.

By the way, Kenneway also recommends a book by Anne Maille "Tie-Dyed
Paper", Mills & Boon, London, 1975 as "a full account of the subject" and
says that "the author suggests ways of using dyes to enhance the appearance
of completed origami models."

Does anyone have the Anne Maille book?  It sounds interesting.

Try the "troublewit" I can UUE diagrams to you...  there's a BOS booklet of
Action toys. Paul Jackson has written 2 *superb* books called "Tricks &
Games with paper" on Angus & Robertson at about UKP3 each.

It's a trad fold called the "Lovers Knot", I suspect. An example of a "good
move", but not much use creatively.

Check the Jackson book(!) called "Folding money", now possibly (probably)
out of print. I've seen it in the odd remainder shop. BOS supplies might
still have some copies.

FTP them to Maarten's site in Holland (although I'm having problems!!) they
can then be saved as gifs for anyone to access. Alternatively, UUencode them
& offer to privately email them on request - a lot of work here!

Share the diagrams with us (could you describe it using text only??!!
