I have a simi-serious idea I wish to ask.  I wonder how many people want
the diagrams at the ftp site but have trouble getting them downloaded or
do not have the ability to print out postscript or other diagrams.
I have an idea.  What if one person downloaded all the diagrams and printed
out nice copies, then anyone who wanted them could contact this person and
have photocopies sent to themselves.  Of course, there would be a slight
fee *only* for photocopying and an envelope and postage.  I think this would
be a nice service for those of us who do not have fancy computers to view
postscript nor printers to print out postscript.  I would do this myself if
I could get printouts of everything there; but I can't.  :-(
This same person could also be responsible for any other public diagrams
that we talk about on this list and try to share with awkward ascii
renderings; s/he could redraw the ascii diagrams and make them available.
Just a crazy idea, let me know what you think.  Do enough people need this
service to make it feasable?

Once upon a time, one would wait for a new book to find new models, neat
diagrams and a few hints.  Nowadays, people can communicate without having to
worry about hazard and bulkiness of book-trade.  A few clicks, some graphic
buttons and we're on to the moon.  No need for a moonlander...  :-)  Now,
some people used to make a living by having everyone else wait for new stuff
to be published.  But these days, any paper folder can have direct access to
a new model as it is been drawn on a restaurant doily.  That's fast.
Sometimes even too fast to understand explanations given in poor handwriting.

I have to confess that I really enjoy the opportunities the web offers and
also can get frustrated when some of those can't get through my computer.  I
share your hope that someone can help us less equiped users view any material
accessed by the web.  I guess this should not be done without regulating a
job done untill now by professionnals.  After all, what is there to gain with
such a rush in sharing origami works?  How can a creator get his work
accessed so fast so easily and at the same time be able to get copyrights?

I'm sure these issues have already been dealt with.  I simply want to point
out they still haven't been settled.

        Doug, you are poosibly in line for promotion to rank of New Messiah!
I like the idea and certainly need the help.  In return, maybe I can offer

have trouble with technology, but if I get more or less idiot proof
instructions, I could maybe offer some service to somebody.
          On a similar subject, I tried without success to send Richard the
Enterprise diagrams, but he hasn't the space to receive that large a file
and I can't figure out how to break the file into smaller bits.  The
diagrams I printed out are of too poor a quality to scan again--they were
barely understandable in the first place.  So Richard, if you are reading
this, how about sending me your snail mail address?  Or maybe somebody else
reading this will have a better idea?

Here's the spot:

http://yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au/~mist/Humour/WonderYears.html

It's towards the end of this very funny article (I thought so anyway).

The other Origami sighting was on the tire cover on the back of a 4 wheel
drive jeep type vehicle (Suzuki?  AMC Jeep?).  The car was all black and the
tire cover was as well, with a beautifully drawn origami rhinoceros printed
on it (the tire cover, not the car).

The rhinoceros sighting was in Grenada (West Indies) and the car model was
unfamiliar to me, otherwise I could be more specific.

 I think I see your concerns.  1) we must make sure that the person who is
 in charge of this "service" does not abuse it by selling the diagrams for
 profit, and (the other concern about copyrights) 2) we must make sure that
 *only* those diagrams that the creator has made public be shared; no
 copyright diagrams that are not on the ftp site should be made available.
 Remember that the diagrams on the ftp site are made available free to
 everyone and we should not withhold these diagrams from someone just
 because that person is "postscript-challenged" (politically correct :-)

Cathy, whenever I make hybrids, I lay out desired quantity of tissue out,
then measure
out some foil (or wrap) and roll it around an old paper towel (or foil roll.
I go through
them pretty quick!) roll, and then roll it over the tissue paper.  Make sure
you put the
foil around your roller before you spray glue.  My glue sets pretty
instantly.  This rolling
ensures even, hassle free, wrinkle-free product.  Just trying to place a
piece on
top of the glue is difficlut with one person, because of static making one
part stick
sooner than you want it to.
                                                                Have fun...

I used Corel Draw to create the diagrams and exported them as
Encapsulated Postscript files.  As far as I can tell the page was set up
for standard 8.5x11 paper and printed OK from Corel Draw.  But I don't
know what happened when exported to Postscript, since I have not tried to
print them from there.

I remember adding the showpage command to some of my older diagrams, because
of simular problems with older versions of Ghostscript, but I didn't do
so with these diagrams because my current version displayed them
correctly as is.  I will try to remember and add that in the future.

I've seen these. There are plenty of them in Vancouver. Rhino (or was it
Rhinoceros?) is a maker of custom accessories for "offroad" vehicles. I'd
hesitate to call it origami, though. It's a Rhino done in very simple geometric
shapes (triangles, etc), so I suppose it could look like origami, but I doubt
that's what the company intended. (There's a version of their logo called "Rhino

Something tells me we will soon be seeing a good bit of that, as more and
more people start inventing, and origami artists become more prominent. I
can't say I like the idea, but there is definitely a precedent. And I
think you're right about it helping to increase the profile of origami as
art, because these limitted editions would have to be (I assume) less
expensive than one shot deals, because of their abundance.

The difference between doing it with origami and doing it with etchings,
though, is that after you make an etching you can produce as many copies
as you like, all the same (or their differences being unimportant). With
origami, each copy will be just as you say: a work of art. I think we may
find certain origami artists becoming very good at producing multiple
copies of something, while others, perhaps better folders, won't be able
to.

I'd guess this will result in different tiers of origami art. There will
be the "high art" of one- or two-shot deals by really great artists, then
the "commercial" origami of the kind you suggest, still art, but not on
the grand order, because it will avoid things that can't be reproduced.
Then there might be "popular" commercial origami, which exists now as
earrings and pendants, relying in large part on the color of the paper
and the subject-matter of the model, rather than the skill of the folder.

And where do diagrams fit into all of this? I'm sure some artists will
diagram their work and keep the diagrams as closely guarded secrets, in
case they want to make another limitted edition one day. Periodically a
book will come out, claiming to have the secret diagrams of such and such
an artist. There will be a big scandal, as the artist first tries to
suppress the book, then denies that the diagrams are actually of his or
her model, then admits that they are and demands that all royalties on the
book be paid to him or her, pressing charges against the thief and
gaining lots of publicity from the whole thing.

There will be law suits, as pretenders make their own limitted editions
from their own closely guarded stolen diagrams. Diagrams will be
subpoenaed in closed hearings with many lawyers at each table.

At the same time, shortly after any particular model is first shown, a
swarm of imitators will diagram their own versions of the model, and
publish them on their own in book form, one book per model, at the same
price origami books sell for now, complete with assurances that this book
contains the one and only true set of diagrams of the great artist's model.

The reading public will swarm to be the first to get a copy of each new
book, to compare and judge, developing theories on which one is the real
set of diagrams, and which one is a fraud. Previous books that have been
'determined' to hold true sets of diagrams of other models by the same
artist are hauled out and the styles meticulously compared. Would such
and such artist use a double rabbits ear or a closed unsink to free such
and such flap?

No publishing company would even consider a book with more than one model
in it, particularly a model actually designed by the author. "Why should
I publish you?" the publisher would say, time and time again, "If you're
so great, where are your limitted editions?"

Art schools would have their origami departments, complete with origami
instructors who couldn't make it in the big time, and they would teach
about the origami "hook", that special feature of the model that grabs
the public's attention long enough to make them buy the model. The
students will spend four years developing the art of the "hook", and then
go off to try their luck in the "real world". Some will be graced with
fame and fortune and movie contracts, in which an origami person fools
the kidnappers into thinking the victim is still tied to the chair.

Others will not be so lucky, and will have to return to school, to teach
the art of the hook to a bunch of kids who might put the teacher to shame
by making it big.

These are from the Origami FYI sheet at
http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/z/zbrown/origami
which I believe were never posted on this list. They were all drawn by
me, but I can't say that anyone ever reported successfully folding them
by following these diagrams. (If anyone not already familiar with these
models does succeed in following them, please tell me so I can brag about
it in the next edition of the FYI sheet).

Subject: Eric Kenneway and Georgie Davidson

This is rather a belated note to conclude this matter.

In his communication titled "Nativity Scene" on 5th November, Marc
Kirshenbaum wrote, in connection with "Origami" by Georgie Davidson:

" In retrospect, the real question is in regards to Eric kenneway's
involvement with the book. Having done all of the diagrams, he practically
made the book. I have always felt Eric had an excellent reputation among BOS
members, and books authored by him have been nothing short of exceptional.
With Eric's involvement, there must have been some BOS approval: do you have
any information on that?"

I can only repeat that this was a private commission  undertaken by Eric.
Although a member of the BOS, he was a free agent. He did not require BOS
approval to undertake to draw the diagrams for the book and he had none. As
far as I remember Eric did not mention the matter in the BOS Council before
the book was published. Why should he have done? The BOS does not rule its
members lives or even their paperfolding activities. I imagine that he
undertook to illustrate the book before he had ever seen the raw material and
before he knew the nature of it.

As far as I recall (and all this happened a lon time ago), the first that the
members of the BOS knew about the book was when it appeared in the shops.
Eric certainly didn't tout it around. The pity is that the publishers had not
approached him instead of M/s Davidson in the first place.

Regretably this sort of thing still goes on and I could name several
pot-boilers of this kind which even now give  potential new paperfolders a
misleading idea of origami.. Even so,the poor books are in the minority and I
think we should be glad that there are so many excellent books on the market
today.

Don't forget about artists like Koons, who will make a decision about what
a piece of Origami is supposed to look like, and then hand the
responsibility for actually making the piece to an unknown, but very
skillful, artisan.

And then there's the tragic potential for Origami sweatshops in third world
countries. Places where the owners make deals with well known morning TV
personalities to supply vast amounts of inexpensive Origami pieces to
American megastores bearing their slick designer labels.

Why not just have a signed or embossed piece that comes from the artist in
designated editions. 11/400 for example. Instead of serigraphs or
lithographs, editions could be divided by paper & size, or something like
that.

Or perhaps a "Remarque" arrangement where the artist creates a unique piece
within an edition by adding some special touch, such as unique paper for each
model (like what Michael LaFosse is capable of), or painted or embossed
decorations on the paper itself that show the model is "from the master's
workshop.

*I* for one would pay for a Yoshizawa Gorilla under that arrangement. (I
don't know how much, but certainly a few hundred dollars.) Assuming of course
that the paper was acid free, and the model would last indefinitely (as long
as modern lithographs for example).

Incidentally, I would be more tempted to buy a piece if it was very large or
very small.

Just a few thoughts.

Subject: Origami Sighting

My daughter got a subscription to Zoobooks from her grandmother last
Christmas.  It is a monthly magazine, with each issue focusing on a
different animal.  There are tear out activity pages in the center of
each issue.

The November 1996 issue of Zoobooks is about "Big Cats".  A double page
spread in the activity section is called "A Cat in the Fold".  The pages
include a square printed in orange with black spots, and directions for
folding it into a cat's head.

+Wow!  From one sheet?  Sounds more and more interesting, not to mention

Well, Joseph sort of beat me to it, but I found the book.
There are two apples, three pears, a pumpkin, and two large blades of
(grass/??).  Plus the horn-o-plenty itself.  It has 59 numberred steps, but
several of those have multiple parts, and at least one part of one step is:
    Crimp and form a pear.

This is from Mark Turner's _Garden_Folds_ which is subtitled:
    Origami Plant Forms for Foil Aficionados

P.S.  I haven't folded it yet, but I suspect I will be soon!

So, what happened?  Did you end up folding parking tickets or what?  ;-)  I
would like to know what goes on in all those origami fests and other
conventions.

I do not have the opportunity to attend such events nor do I have enough
money to subscribe every single club to get the damn news letters.  I thought
this list would help me get in touch with "what goes on" in terms of "what
happens with origami people".  Now, I'm deeply touched by all the origami
sightings some of the list subscribers like to point out.  But I do not count
those as origami events.  I hereby officially propose that for each event
that goes on, someone be appointed to offer a short and simple report,
skimming over highlights.

Here's my contribution.  Saturday november 2nd, we were four paper folders in
a small coffee shop.  We had previously met on the origami-l and decided it
was time to get on with starting a new origami club in Montreal.  I was there
first, waiting with my Kasahara crane.  Everyone had a model of his, her own,
a new book, diagrams, original material we are working on...  And we spoke
about being a club, about other origami friends who couldn't make it this
time, creating a WWW page, getting in touch with other clubs, hoping for the
next meeting...  So was it at the first meeting of the new Origami-Montreal.

Who's next?

Yusri's already sent a message along to origami-l saying that his web pages are
