        Yes, I only recently got that booklet!  I'm contemplating something
a bi more elaborate -- I'm afraid that the subtlties of my diagrams would
be lost if I shrunk them to the size of a similar booklet, so I was
thinking more of an 8.5x11" spiral-bound booklet, although I'll certainly
investigate all the possibilities!  (I do want it to be able to lie flat
when open.)

>I see no reason why it has to be a not-for -profit endeavor.

        True, but I'm not so sure that preliminary booklets should be for
profit.  I'm more interested in seeing what people think of my models and
diagrams before writing a book (which would, of course, be for whatever
profit origami books bring in)1

        I will...thank you for the tip!  Actually, I'm kind of torn about
whatever book I end up doing:  part of me wants a large publisher that I
may be able to convince to put a nice PR campaign behind the book, but part
of me also would love to use an "origami-friendly" publisher (maybe
Antroll?) just to avoid all the problems that you and Jay Ansill have
mentioned, and I'm sure far more people have experienced.

Just got a copy of an article published in IEEE Computer Graphics and

It's pretty neat to be reaching this new audience. Three of the five
modules were from my book, with a suggestion for using one of them
for a fourth solid. Two modules were from Fuse's Unit Origami.
My book, with Bennett Arnstein is "3D Geometric Origami: Modular Polyhedra".

Hi Everyone!

    I have nothing against the books or booklets, but I like the FTP
idea.
I'm living in Argentina, and we have very few books of origami, so all
the drawings, that are available from FTP sources are of great interest
for all the people living in countries like mine.

Ps: Can anyone tell me if there are more sources of models available
    by this method?

Can anyone give me hot clues as to where I might find a second-hand copy?
Are there enough people out there who would also like a copy of the book to

Hi everyone! After not being able to check my email for two weeks I
finally have gotten back online. After reading this thread I want to thank
Joseph for calling my web pages an example of "fair use". I emailed each
person before putting the images up, so I hope I have not offended...
I do not have an explicit attribution for each of these images on my page,
but it seems to be that this would be redundant since each graphic is a
link to the person's page and I also have little blurb about each page
accompanying the graphic. However, if anyone feels that I should also give
credit for each image, please email me privately at origami@brown.edu.

Oh, and I agree with the "if you can view it, you can copy it" statement.
Even if someone does somehow lock their images and prevent me from
downloading a viewable copy, then what's preventing me from doing a
screen-capture and cutting and pasting? I'm sure this is possible on Macs
as well.

Hi everyone,

I just joined this newsgroup two weeks ago and I am thourghly enjoying it.

A bit of info: My name is Janet Nielsen, I am 14 years old and I have been
doing origami for about 6 years. I fold (usually) between 1 and 4 hours a
day, depending on school. I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada (3 hours south
of Toronto, on lake Ontario).

In response to numerous messages about "Origami for the Connoisseur", I
offer what information I have: Yes, I own the book: I bought it new for 20$
from the UBC (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada) three or
four years ago. It was published in 1987 by Japan Publishing Co. It was also
published (in Japanese) by Sanrio Co., Ltd., Tokyo in 1985. This is an
amazing book, and should you be able to get your hands on it, do so. The
models include one of my favourites, a rose by Toshikazu Kawasaki. Good luck.

Janet. :>

However, Eric, just so everybody knows that you

you put a general note on your page to the effect
of something like: "Copyright of all photos/graphics

This would cover you as far as public image goes, and

This title is still turning up in the catalog of the internet book shop.

Whether or not they actually still have it in stock is the big question. (A
certain percentage of their stock gets ordered directly from the publisher,
but then someone reported within the last year that Japan Publications in
Europe still had some copies.)

I also noticed that they are listing Kasahara's "Origami Omnibus", another
great title.

Shipping to New Zealand would be 9 pounds for the first book, and then 4
pounds for each additional title.

There are shareware programs called ghostscript and ghostview that let you view
     postscript files and print them
on non-postscript printers.  It doesn't always work for me though, but for what

Subject: ORU number 13

Hi all --

Went to my mother's house the other day and she handed me a package from my
broterh, who is now living in Mito, Japan. We had been trying to get in touch
with him for several weeks, and finally heard from him in a big way! He sent
me the latest edition of the ORU magazine (I am guessing it is the latest -
no 13, June of 1996) I had never thought that the magazine itself would
interest me - perhaps the digest of diagrams, but not the magazine -- I could
NOT put it down! I don't read any Japanese (other than what I have figured
out from diagrams "repeat on other side" "on page x." etc.) so it was a
little frustrating because I would LOVE to know what is being talked about!!!
The pictures are GORGEOUS though!!!!! I thought it was rather interesting,
too. I don't know if it is an ad for a particular paper, but there are four
pages of a stiff crepe like paper that on two of them have squares drawn on
them, and I assume directions for cutting them out. On one, it refers you to
a particular page, and sure enough, the model on that page is folded from
that type of paper! Unfortunately, the models that I really wish had been in
the magazine, weren't... alas... but I would guess that it would be a little
TOO much to ask that the diagrams for Kawasaki's "Rose", Lang's "Black Forest
Cuckoo Clock," and several of Kawahata's Dino's all be in one magazine...

Perhaps I will try and figure out the exchange rate between the yen and the
dollar... either that or suck up to my brother big time!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Subject: Origami Displays

Hello Everyone!

My family just retrieved our entries from the 1996 Middlesex County Fair.  This
     is the third year I have
entered origami.  This year's entry was called "SHIPS" and it consisted of
     Jeremy Shaffer's Enterprise
suspended above Patricia Crawford's Three Masted Ship.  It won a blue ribbon
     (first place) in the origami
category, which I am proud of even though it is not usually a hotly contested
     category (this year there were
only two entries in the adult division).  The first year I entered origami in
     the fair, I had made an
arrangement of various folded flowers mounted on florist wire with complete
     with origami leaves.  The next year
I had intended to enter a kusudama, but I had tried to make it without glue and
     it fell apart before making it
into the exhibit tent.  The next year I remade the kusudama, but broke down and
     glued it together.  Both the
flowers and the kusudama had also won blue ribbons.

I have found that the heat and humidity of the exhibit tents at the fair pose
     special problems for origami.
Foil paper or foil laminates survive the humidity better than paper.  Also,
     exhibits may be moved around quite
a bit as entries are accepted the first day of the fair, so they have to be
     sturdy.  This year, the three
masted ship fell off it's stand, and it ended up propped up next to the stand
     instead of on the stand.
However, I would not have wanted to glue it in place.  Do any of the regular
     exhibitors out there have
suggestions for creating origami exhibits that can stand up to heat, humidity,
     and handling?

I bought my copy from the same place a long time ago.  For those of you who
can't find a copy, a lot of the models/material are available in other
origami books.  A lot of the geometric models and discussion can be found in
Kasahara's Origami Omnibus.  The complex models such as John Montroll's
goose, beetle, and stegosaurus are in John's own books.  I believe the rose
by Kawasaki is available at the ftp site.  Brill's horse is in Brilliant
Origami etc.  One thing that I noticed is that the diagrams are not that
accurate sometimes and may involve a bit of guesswork or fiddling.

Happy folding,

Wayne Ko

At the ftp site(s) (origami-l and mirror sites), there are not diagrams
for the realistic Kawasaki Rose from Origami for the Connoisseur (OFTC). The
     diagrams
there are Joseph Wu's leaves and stem for the Kawasaki Rose, and 2 versions
of reverse engineered diagrams for the Kawasaki Rose Tessellation (an entirely
different model), for which there is a photo in Jackson's Encyclopedia of
Origami and Paper Techniques (EOPT). There is also a photo of the Rose
Tessellation on my web site along with diagrams and other material related
to Jackson's EOPT. The tessellation is a form of the technique known also as
"twist folding", and is not a realistic single rose like the one in OFTC,
though both designs are by Kawasaki.

Thanks for all the replies to my query about the availability of this book.
The "Internet Book Shop" in the UK has it listed in its database.
Unfortunately it is very expensive (=A318.95) which with the postage to

anyone else know of other roses for which diagrams might be available?  I saw

  I would suggest using poster putty instead of glue.  Poster putty will

BrettAndJill Askinazi asked about paper grain and Rotating Tets.

I don't have any experience with Rotating Tets, but I do have some
knowledge of how paper grain does *not* affect jumping frogs. I
suspect that the same will be true of rotating tets.

In my statistical study of jumping frogs made out of standard
photocopier paper (white, 20 lb bond) the orientation of the
grain had no significant effect on the distance the frogs jumped.

I believe that this is because of the quality of the grain of the paper.
As is true with kami, the difference between folding with and against
the grain is subtle. This is not true with many heavier papers or
(I assume) with some artists paper. In a paper with a marked
difference between folding with and against the grain, I believe
that the orientation of the grain would affect the quality of a fold.
With kami, I believe the subtle differences between the actual
folding of two pieces outweighs any influence the orientation of the
grain might have.

This certainly appeared to be true of my jumping frogs.

Subject: Re: Origami Displays

I think that it is natural for us to be reluctant to use glues or clips or
other supports when displaying origami models.

However, I believe that a judicious use of glues and supports etc. is
permissible in the restricted domain of exhibiting models. Models prepared
for display are usually larger than models prepared for "private" use or
demonstration, and large models tend to be floppy and to come apart at the
seams. It's something to do with the diminishing of the relative strength of
the paper as it increases in size. It's just the same principle that causes
(real) elephants to need such very thick legs in proportion to their linear
dimensions in order to stand up or which enables fleas to jump so much
further in proportion to their size than humans.

When models are displayed, the first objective is to diplay them well and not
to engage in any obsessions about purity of origamic principles. So I say,
use wires, clips, staples, glue, tape and skyhooks to make the model look
good. If anyone protests, you can always fold her/him a copy of ordinary size
to show that you really can so it without support!

Mark Kennedy recommends scotch tape on the moving creases before
assembly.   I've also seen some paper that's got more of a "plastic"
finish to it that also works admirably well.

I tend to use Legos (the real ones) as permission to use glue or whatever is
necessary.  That is, for the purist in me, I want to know that the model can
stand on its own.  But when it comes to displaying, anything that makes it
possible is fine.  The Legos connection?  The blocks will hold together by
themselves, but you can bet that when those folks are constructing a scale
model of the White House out of Legos for a display which will move around,
they are going to glue the pieces together!!!!

 Dear Michael & Janet,

There is a good rose model well diagramed and photographed in Classic
Origami, by PD (Pham Dinh) Tuyen, Sterling Publishing Co. Inc. New York
(1995).  I think that this book is still in print.

I too am very interested in flower diagrams.  Please can you let me know
what you discover,

Thanks,

Jonathan Smith

No, but it is for sale at origami USA.  Bren might have it on her

However, you can also access some of this information online at this URL:

http://www.dc.peachnet.edu/~yjohan/seof/

I have made some more updates since my last posting.  You can also print
out the registration form using your web browser because it is html-ized.
Other updates include the information of Variety Evening, Paper Premiere,
and the exhibits.

Later,
Yusri

Subject: Kiwi model

Hi,
I attended one of the earlier conventions of The Friends of the Origami
Center of America, now Origami USA at which an wonderful, simple Kiwi bird
was taught.  I do not remember the creator but I believe he was also the
teacher.  I could be wrong.  I think the convention was in Education Hall at
the AMNH but it could have been in the children's lunchrooms.  I have the
model I folded but I cannot remember the creator's name and it there are
diagrams anywhere.  I know I could dig through my old convention programs and
annual collections and perhaps, with luck, find the creator's name but I
thought this would be easier.
     I would like to give credit to the creator when I show my origami
collection to school children and  give them an introduction  to the
international flavor of Origami.  I also would like to fold another one and
would love to get diagrams somewhere.
thanks,   Martha Landy

Subject: Re: Grain was Re: Rotating Tetrahedron

Paper grain would only be a significant
factor if the major folds, or a crease
that intersects and edge of the model
at a location subject to tearing along
the crease, are either along the grain
or close to right angles (across) the
grain. Most origami models don't fall
into those catagories, as they tend to
have folds diagonally to the grain.
Eg. anything that starts out as prelim. base,
waterbomb, blinz, etc.

Subject: Re: Grain was Re: Rotating Tetrahedron

Another thought, based on my "engineering"
modulars & kusudama for structural strength:

The quality of the paper is often more important
than the grain: 100% cotton and other high
quality papers, including handmade papers of
plant fibers, etc. have long strong fibers.
Cheaper papers from wood fibers and many
re-cycled papers have short brittle grain.
Manufactured papers also have a more pronounced
grain than handmade papers. Papers with glossy
or special finishes will often crack along the
surface, too.

I was at such a class. The teacher was Robert Lang, and it was a a class on
how to design origami models. The *Kiwi* model was a class effort (with
Robert doing most of the work). I doubt it was ever diagramed.
