Anyone need a hardback copy of "Creative Origami" by Kunihiko Kasahara? I
think perhaps this price is cheaper than the new paperbacks?

If you're interested, I've posted the information below. (For those
unfamiliar with the terms, "fine" means the book should just look gently
used....Perhaps some slight shelf-rubbing or a few scratches but relatively
clean. If the dust jacket was torn, etc., the bookseller is supposed to
explicitly say so.)

Still book-hounding....

I just picked "Brilliant Origami" up this weekend, first because I've heard
so much about it through this site, and second because there's a Father
Christmas model.  For those in the Philadelphia area, Atlantic Book
Warehouse on Route 309 (Montgomeryville, PA) had a nice selection of books.

I bought another book "Essential Origami" (I can't seem to recall the
authors) and managed to fold on the first try the Father Christmas model.  I
was very happy-even though I did it in pink so I wouldn't waste red on a
first attempt.  I thought the instructions were exceptional.

For sure, you can get a million answers at this time of year.  So I hope I
get the prize for firtst.  Here's what I've got :

Many of Kunihiko Kasahara's books include Christmas models.  Go figure why...

        Origami Made Easy :    jingle bells, p.40
                          stars, p. 42
                          angel, p.118
                          arabian, p.122
                          santaclaus, p.124
        Magic of Origami :     bell,p.97
                          14 differents ornaments, pp.100-109, p. 119
                          X-mas trees, p.110 and p.112
                          stars, pp. 117, 120 and 121
        Creative Origami:      baby and crib, pp.146-147
                          cross, p.149
                          Mary, p.149 (unfortunately no Joseph...)
                          star, p. 157
        Origami Omnibus:       sleigh, p. 322
                          angel, p. 364 (just before Adam and Eve in
                          the nude !)

And then David Brill, as some have already mentioned, in his Brilliant
Origami:        X-mas tree fairy, with crown and wand, pp. 183-190
               2 "Father Christmas", pp. 191 and 193
               Three wise men, pp. 204-209 (preliminary pp. 197 and 201)
               reindeer, p. 228, and sleigh, p. 230
               silver star, p. 232

And, whynot, paper slippers to wear while unwrapping presents by the X-mas
tree...  See Eric Kenneway's Complete Origami, p. 125.

You can also refer to research engines for origami models.  Someone else can
maybe help you find the address.

Subject: Origami math-ed article

Hi everybody!

While trying to locate the origami polyhedra article that Rona mentioned
last week, I stubled upon another origami-math related article!  The
reference...

"Folded Paper, Dynamic Geometry, and Proof: a three-tier approach to the
conics" by Daniel Scher, _Mathematics Teacher_, March 1996, Vol 89, No 3,
pp. 188-193.

        This article tell you how to fold parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas
into a sheet of paper.  It's nothing new, but it's darn cool to see this
stuff resurface in the math education literature!

(For those who haven't seen this before: the way to fold an ellipse is to
take a circular piece of paper with center point C and draw a random point P
anywhere in the circle.  Then make lots of folds, each by placing the circle's
edge on the point P.  Each of these creases will be a line tangent to
an ellipse with foci C and P, and after making a dozen or so such creases
you'll begin to "see" the ellipse taking shape!)

Also Gay Merrill Gross's "Art of Origami" (the paperback is called "Origami
Workshop") has some nice ornament ideas.

'Course, you can turn almost any model into an ornament! Just takes some
needle and thread. I'm about to start on a garland of small foil Yoshizawa
butterflies for this year.

I would also point out that functional origami is fun to give at Christmas
too. I like to make the Nick Robinson wallet for presents. (It is diagrammed
in the Gross book, and I think Nick also has some diagrams for another
wallet at the BOS web site?). Not hard or time-consuming to fold but they
seem to be appreciated. Recommend washi paper for this though....Makes the
wallets look quite special, and I've had them last in my Levi back pocket
for months.

The Gross book also has instructions for making origami jewelry -- another
gift idea.

Oh....one of my favorite "geometric" ornaments is the tear-drop one in Paul
Jackson's "Festive Folding". This is a good one for showing off a nice paper
too.

In addition to what others have suggested   there
 are a few more books that you might find interesting.

The Magic of Origami by ALice Gray and Kunihiko Kasahara
ISBN 0-87049-624-8

This book has a lot of models showing a variety of Christmas Tree
Ornaments

Christmas Origami by Steve and Megumi Biddle
ISBN 0-09-993319-1
has models that lend themselves to cards giftwrap and tree decorations

The next book is called Origami for Christmas
by Chiyo Araki
ISBN 0-87011-528-6
This book is not as great as the first two but there are some interesting
new and traaditional models.

Hope this helps

Hi all,

Christmas is coming (?), well at least it's closer. This is when I start
thinking about gifts, so here are my best origami ideas:

mobiles - everyone loves them and they don't take TOO long. Use 4 - 10
medium size models and attach to a frame with invisible thread (hell to tie....)

calanders - Either be creative and make them yourself or buy a blank
calander. Fill in the picture spaces with FLAT origami models

gift tags - origami ones are very cute (try cranes, fish, Santas, reindeer.....)

cards - a must out of origami

Anyways, have fun!

Umpteen years ago as a high school student I did a science fair  exhibit on
such curves (even won a prize, to my astonsihment).  If you use waxed
paper, the folds show up very nicely, especially when placed against a
black background. You don't really need a circular piec e of paper for the
ellipse--just trace a circle on the paper with a compass. To fold a
parabola, fold the focal point to the points along a straight line. If I
recall right,  you get a hyperbola by  placing the point OUTSIDE the circle
and fold the point to the points around the circle. Experiment  with the
distance of the point from the line or circle you are folding it to.
Thanks for reminding me of this.

Subject: Non-origami--bright 9yr old needs stimulation, near Chappaqua NY

This is a request for help to any folders in or around Chappaqua NY for
leads that might help a  bright 9yr old. Please reply to me personally and
I'll forward suggestions.

The situation is this:
My 1st cousin's daughter is a a very very bright 9yr old in Chappaqua NY.
After many difficulties with the local schools, her parents recently
decided to home-school her.  She's fascinated by everything scientific,
especially physics (her father is an exceedingly busy physics prof; her
mother's talents lie in comparative literature and philosophy). She'd like
very much to learn chemistry--wants to know about subatomic particles.

So the immediate questions are:1) do you know anyone in the Chappaqua area
who might be interested in teaching chemistry to an enthusiastic smart kid?
Could be a retired teacher or chemist.

2) Any other homeschoolers around to share activities with? Or any other
bright kids with similar tastes eager to get together or correspond by
email?

And yes, she does know some origami.

Many thanks!

Hi, Jorma!  I just figured out the rose recently thanks to Gerard Blais, and
I have been folding roses by the dozen ever since.  I am so captivated by
the gracefulness of the whole thing.  I don't understand why I didn't get it
before--it seems so easy now.  I am filling a bag with pretty little roses
to uses as package decoration for gifts.

Another origami sighting on the television.  It was a Microsoft commercial
showing (I believe) the Power of Windows95 and/or Internet Explorer, and
near the end, they showed paper airplanes being folded from what I believe
is the paper airplane folding software from Kittyhawk (the proper name
eludes me at the moment).  It was pretty neat!  Origami is getting more and
more mainstream all the time it seems like.

Neither. The one with the rose is "Origami for the Connoisseur" and the one with
Maekawa's "devil" is "Viva! Origami". "Creative Origami" features the "mask of
Pan" on the (yellow) cover and was the book that got me started in creating my

In the December 1996 edition of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, there
are several "origami" crafts listed.  They all use foil origami paper.
The first gives directions for a waterbomb base, then says to string the
bases on curling ribbon and hang vertically from the top of a Christmas
tree for garland.  The next has the paper cut into strips, then the
strips are formed into rings for a chain.  The last has 24 pieces of
paper blintzed, and notes are put under the flaps.  The flaps are secured
with a sticker and the squares hung to make an advent calendar.

It becomes much easier when you don't have to think "what the %#$& I'm
supposed to do"... The second one I folded took half the time and was twice
as good as the first one. If I can keep up the progress rate my tenth rose
will take less than 10 seconds and will be *awesome* :)

It's really beautiful model. People seem to like it a lot more than
Kasahara's Angel from Origami Omnibus. Which makes me wondering how it
would look if folded from red film...

I hope my mail from this list won't get postponed again like it did after
my first post. Really encouraging :(

Subject: Hedgehog in Kenneway Book (not)

My brother gave me an origami book
he picked up in a used book store:

Origami: Paperfolding for Fun
Eric Kenneway
Gallery Books (an imprint of W.H. Smith Publishers Inc.)
1984

The copyright notice says:
first published 1980 by Octopus Books, London

There's nothing much new to me in this book, but it is
a nice little book with good diagrams (as you would
expect from something with Kenneway's name on it), and
each model has a very nice full page color photo facing.

Toshie Takahama's Jewel is shown used to make necklaces,
and there are also some of Davil Brill's better known
models (box with lid, ship in bottle), a Rose built up
from traditional water lily forms, and calx & leaves added,
a Chimpanzee Face (mask) by John Richardson.

The bad news: The cover is a photo of a number of models
in a garden setting, including a ladybug and a really
nifty HEDGEHOG.

Alas, there is a typed Erratta sheet taped in the table
of contents. The table of contents lists 9 models from
page 78 to 92:

Three-masted sailing ship
Seagull
Valentine
Star
Slower decoration
Hedgehog
Ladybird
Fly
Spider

The book stops at page 77. The errata sheet reads:

"The designs listed in the table
of contents on pages 78 through
92 are not included in this
edition."

!!!!! :-(

Anyone know if the hedgehog is published elsewhere
and who the designer is? A search of the Origami
Index on hedgehog came up empty.

I believe that the hedgehog is Kenneway's. I'm not sure. The models listed in
the errata sheet *DO* appear in the earlier octopus books edition. The hedgehog,
in particular, is wonderful, although I usually don't bother making the legs and
feet as the model looks and feels better without them (they're a little thin for
such a bulky model). I've got the diagrams somewhere, but most likely back in
Vancouver...

We are a few frenchspeaking on this list who started to experiment this kind
of protocole among ourselves.  Some do not understand a bit of english and
still wish to communicate with fellow folders.  It's too soon to see
spectacular results.  We hope other folders interested to share thoughts or
tricks or whatever can do so in their own language.  No one can stop that.
And I would encourage it for the sake of origami and of sharing. Too many
folders, as far as I know, are still alone. I enjoy what I can read on this
list and being read all over the planet is also a good feeling.  But my first
aim is to get my message through in my own community and if this list is a
good vehicule to do so, then it will be so.

Nous sommes quelques francophones sur cette liste a experimenter ce genre de
protocole entre nous.  [ Il s'agit de placer des initiales devant le titre
d'une lettre pour en indiquer la nature, p.e. F ou Fr pour franais. ]
Certains ne comprennent pas l'anglais et souhaitent quand meme communiquer
avec des compagnons de pliage.  Il est trop tot pour connaitre les resultats
de cette experience.  Nous esperons que d'autres plieurs que le partage
d'idees ou de moyens ou de quoi que ce soit interesse puissent le faire dans
leur propre langue.  Personne ne peut empecher cela.  Et j'encouragerais ce
mouvement pour l'origami et pour le sens du partage.  Pour ce que j'en sais,
trop de plieurs sont isoles.  J'ai du plaisir a lire ce qui se trouve sur
cette liste et d'etre lu tout autour de la planete me procure egalement un
bon "feeling". Mais ma preoccupation premiere est que mon message passe dans
ma propre communaute et si cette liste peut servir a ce que cela se fasse,
qu'il en soit ainsi.

Bonjour,

Suite a la discussion sur simple mais trognon, Jean fait remarquer
que chez les petits, un pliage en action est plus apprecie qu'un
beau pliage.
C'est vrai que les enfants ont beaucoup d'imagination...
Faut-il que les pliages que l'on montre a des personnes soit
forcement "trognon" ? Est-ce que simple ne suffit pas ?

D'un autre cote, qd les enfants montrent le pliage aux parents, ils
doivent se dire que l'origami, c'est pas encore au point ;-)

Subject: Intro and Paper Question

Hi all!
        I've been lurking on this list about a month now and am very happy
to have found so many other folders. I've been folding, off and on, mostly
off, for about 40 years, with little or no cantact with other folders.  I
was introduced to origami through a package of paper from San Francisco's
(now gone) Japanese Deer Park in the mid-50's.  Did very little folding
after exhausting the possibilities in the little instruction sheet in the
package.  In the early seventies, my wife brought me a package of round
paper from somewhere in California and about the same time, I bought a copy
of Harbin's "Secrets of Origami" off a sale table at Woolworth's (cost me
about $3, I think).  These held my interest for a while but I didn't do much
folding after that.  I found a copy of John Montroll's "Origami for the
Enthusiast"  3 or 4 years ago and my interest was temporarily sparked again.

        However, when I found this list on the 'Net, I was hooked for sure.
There is so much going on that I didn't know about before... unit origami,
Montrol's and Lang's complex folds, Fuse's boxes, business cards, and on and
on.  I can't believe I ever lost interest in this fascinating art/craft.

        Even though I started more years ago then I would like to admit, I'm
really not much more than a beginner.  The most complex model I've completed
to date is Montroll's Blue Shark (a really great model), but I still prefer
simpler folds, at least for now.

        In the last few weeks, I've bought several more books and all kinds
of paper (some from Fascinating Folds, great service, btw), and have been
folding every day.  I even carry 3 inch paper around in my shirt pocket in a
Tyvek envelope (as suggested by someone on this list) and find myself
folding at odd minutes at work.

        And I owe this to all you wonderful folks on the Origami-l list.  I
subscribe to a few other mailing lists and haven't found one where the posts
are as civilized, informative and "on-topic" as this one (except for,
perhaps the Chile-heads ... if you like hot food and/or grow chile peppers,
e-mail me, we'll talk).

        And now for my paper question.  On pages 5 and 30 of Hideaki
Sakada's "Origami" (simple models, great photos) are several pictures of
traditional swans. Does anybody know what kind of paper these are made from?
If so, do you know where it might be purchased?  For those of you who do not
have the book, the paper looks to have a soft texture, somewhat like tissue
paper, colored on one side, white on the other, with some kind of threads
embedded in the paper.  The threads are visible, in color, on the white side
of the paper.  This paper looks like it could be shown off to great
advantage in simpler models and I definitely would like to get some.

        One last comment ... I really enjoy David Lister's posts on origami
history and biographies (not to slight anybody else's posts, of course).
Please continue to enlighten us with the results of what must be a great
deal of research and other hard work, David.

        Happy folding!

Nah, it's Dr. John Richardson of Doncaster, England. Actually only 18
miles up the road from me, but he's a very reclusive folder & I've never
met him.
cheers!

The Hedgehog (3x2 rectangle)(page 86) was designed by John Richardson and
was originally published in British Origami 75 (page28).

The three mastered sailing ship (page 78) was by Martin Wall and was also
published in "Focus on Martin Wall" (page 30).

Seagull by Laurie Bisman page 80.

Valentine by Eric Kenneway page 82.

Star by Eric Kenneway page 83.

Flower decoration by Eric Kenneway page 84.

Fly (2x1 rectangle) by Max Hulme page 90 also published in British Origami
72 (page 23).

Spider (2x3 rectangle) by Max Hulme page 92.

I have the 1980 edition (and I only paid $4.00 for it, circa 1981). This
was my favorite origami book for a while; it is wort seeking out.

This *Hedgehog* is by John Richardson (as with the phenominal
*Chimpanzee*). The model is full of precreasing (calling for divisions into
18ths and 27ths on a 2x3 rectangle), but the results seem to be worth all
of the effort.

I have not seen anything by John Richardson elsewhere. He does seem to be
quite a folder, and I do wonder what he is up to these days.

Given the excellent description of the fold in question which followed, my
$.02 is that "parasitic" in this example means don't make it too small.
According to the instructions you gave, a parasitic (or too small) fold
would end up creating a peak of several folds instead of a more angular
break as suggested by the 'H' type creasing.

Just a guess!

 Hallo everyone!

 I recently made my own origami home page at Geocities.
 I may also create a site for the Israely origami society, which I'll
 might put instead of my page.

 For now all the site has, is diagrams for a shogi piece model I designed.
 Shogi is Japanese chess.

 Bye!

 Oded.

Hi, Oded. How about giving us the URL to your new site so we can see it?

Good for you!  I suppose a six-point star would be a must on your page. :-)
I've met with Quebec-Origami, a one year old club in Quebec City, and the
first model published in their newsletter was a letter Q.  I know if I knew a
"fleur de lys" model (fancy-shaped lilly), I would like to have it scanned
for our own new page of Origami-Montreal:

But tell us more about Israeli origami society.

Actually (strange as it may seem) the "fleur de lys" is a stylized
representation of an iris (not a lily).  While there must be many origami
representations of irises (one is a minor modification of a frog base
with the "body" opened up 3 dimensional and the 4 "legs" curled
to make petals), it is not evident how to make them resemble the
Quebec national emblem (for origami clubs in the Belle Province).
Perhaps we need also worry about the differences between the big
European iris (surely the original fleur de lys of the Bourbon dynasty)
and the smaller North American and oriental varieties (surely more
common in origami lore.)
