David Brill's sake cup or rice measurer (did he ever sort out which it
was?) was based on a wooden square cup he saw in Japan. It has 'solid'
walls. He made in out of 'wooden paper' and it looked fantastic. I think
it's in Brilliant Origami - but I don't know what he called it there.

Subject: Re: origami sea life

Arjan's right, the cover of OSL's 1st ed. has photos of wet-folded models
(a conch, the shark, the triggerfish and another I don't remember now).
The introduction mentions they are folded from a special paper.

Four books by Montroll (OS, AAiO, PO) (and Lang, OSL) published in sequence
were later reissued by Dover in a larger format (similar as new works
as OIO, MC&CZO, NAAO) and new covers, replacing photographs with diagrams.
I personally think the older, smaller format was more practical (I own all
four in small format) to handle, and the new cover style IMHO a poorer taste,
but this is an irrelevant opinion.

Just a few cents about OSL's introduction: at least in my copy's edition the
captions for the lobster models by Kasahara-san and Dr. Sakoda are exchanged,
and the Yoshizawa-san book mentioned should not be Dokuhon II, but (I believe)
Sousaku Origami.

Subject: Re: Name for a type of fold

Why not do what it is done in sports (I'm thinking of artistic skating and
acrobatics) when  someone creates a new move : name it after the creator's.

        So, this model could be called 'The Montroll's fold'

In fact, while I'm writting this, I realize that John Montroll must have
created at least one billion new 'folds'.  So, it won't go for john.

        And on second thought, why should we name a fold (or 'move' might be
     more
adequate) ?  It seems that it leads to understanding problems between
folders ("And then, on the right part of the leg, you make a 'shwoop' fold,
while keeping the 'Zorglub' fold intact ")

        However, if someone want to nae the type of fold used on the Montroll's
model the 'Casalonga fold/move', it's OK with me.

Rob,

The convention was great, saw and learned so many things.  I was also
impressed to meet so many Origami greats.  It was very interesting to
meet so many out of country representatives of origami. The funniest
thing happened after dinner Monday night several of us were learning the
small flower model Carlos from Columbia had folded into earings and gave
as gifts.  Carlos was trying to explain paper position to us in his
limited English, as we all listened intently.  Sergi and Elena from
Russia were listening and Sergi promptly translated the directions into
Russian, like we could all understand it then.  We did manage to
understand what Carlos wanted us to do and we actually asked June to
translate it into Japanese.  We all had a good laugh and we all enjoyed
our foriegn visitors.

Well, since I originally asked the question about that great trick Montroll
came up with I was browsing (yes, just for fun) J.C. Nolan's "Creating
Origami" title. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, but seems that he has
come up with one term for the technique. He calls it a "double swivel fold"
on page 74.

I like using "swivel" (a great word...don't you think?) for this as it
covers the great motion of the fold, but I don't quite get the "double." I
think perhaps something like "pinch swivel" would be more appropriate.

Also somewhat amused by Nolan saying "This procedure, as with petal folds
and sinks, can easily become a stumbling block, but once mastered, becomes
trivial to execute."

The annual Smithsonian Folk Life Festival is on the Mall in Washington,
DC thru July 5th.  Featured this year are the Philippines, Baltic
Region,  Rio Grande, and Wisconsin.  Crafts, music, dancing, and foods
are demonstrated during the two week period.  This year they range from
a Wisconsin tavern, quilting, and Ukranian pysanki (egg decorating) to a
Philippine chapel with Christmas lanterns and  a sari sari store.

I visited yesterday and talked with two Hmong artisans from Watertown,
WI.  Both are surnamed Yang, are not related, and represent two of the
three Hmong families in Watertown.

 Ms. Yang had numerous examples of Hmong embroidery.  What caught my eye
was a tetrahedron covered w/ embroidery thread or yarn.  She folded one
for me out of a long strip of cardstock.  The thread was wrapped over
the tetrahedron and reminded me of the Mexican eyes of God or Japanese
temari balls.  I've been told there is a tetrahedron wrapped in silk
thread known as a Chinese fold called "silk dumpling."

Mr. Yang was weaving tote baskets from plastic strapping tape.  He used
one or two colors in each basket.  The woven handles were covered in
clear plastic tubing.  He said that in Laos the baskets would  be woven
out of bamboo.  He did not remember how to weave fish or birds - said he
would have to ask some elderly Hmong.

In the Philippines craft area near the food concession an artisan had
woven several birds and roses.  Unfortunately that wasn't being
demonstrated at the time I visited.

Last year in York at BOS, Jonathan Baxter introduced us to weaving fish
using strapping tape instead of ribbon.  This is a great way to recycle
strapping tape from packages.  I'm usually at Tower Records on Thursday
nights helping myself to the strapping tape from bundles of newspapers.
The Container Store is the only place I've found to purchase strapping
tape.

Crafts, tshirts and books are for sale in a tent in front of the
National Museum of American History.  There are Smithsonian Folkways
Records cassettes for sale from $1.20 and CD's from $11.20.

Sorry people, I was slightly mistaken in my previous reply. I checked
my copy of OSL (2nd ed) and the captions are swapped for lobster models
by Kasahara-san and actually _Honda-san_, not Dr. Sakoda. An
understandable mistake, since both are in the same page.
I confirm that according to descriptions of models (seahorse, dolphin,
three-legged squid, crab, etc.) the Yoshizawa-sensei book is likely to
be Sousaku Origami, not OD2.
Also about 2nd and 3rd editions of Dover books by Montroll/Lang: if I
remember well, the larger edition of PO fixes a diagramming problem with
too wide bevel limits (for those who dislike low-level graphics programming,
PostScript and their ilk, the symptoms are abnormally long spikes in
narrow polygonal corners, say any angle 10 degrees or below).

Subject: OUSA Convention '98 - Long

My husband and I arrived at the convention Friday at about noon to help set
up the Supply Center.  We had most of the tables moved into place and had
located someone from FIT to request more tables before Phyliss Meth arrived.
As we had a number of "experienced" volunteers, set up went quickly and
smoothly, and, in fact, all parts of the convention seemed to be set up well
ahead of schedule.  Registration opened right on time, with no last minute
problems (we were delayed one year waiting for the Annual Collections to
arrive).  There were some models missing from the model menu, and some
exhibits not yet set up, in both cases because the models in question were
being delivered in person by the teachers and exhibitors.

There seemed to be more classes available than in the past, including  a
good selection of simple classes.  A number of new folders were attending
this year, and I believe the selection gave them an excellent introduction
to origami.  Popular complex classes included Jeremy Shafer's Flasher Hat
and King Kong climbing the Empire State Building (Enroute to the Observatory
by Marc Kirshenbaum).  I saw several people walking around Sunday still
doing the precreasing for the flasher hat from the Saturday class.  There
were two modular classes that were taught in two parts - a morning session
to learn the module, and and afternoon session to do the assembly.  Students
were to complete the required modules on their own between sessions.

I stuck to the intermediate classes.  The most popular in that category
being the Magic Rose Cube (created by Valerie Vann and taught by Jean
Baden-Gillette), and Fireworks by Yami Yamauchi.  Fireworks was a flexagon
type model that would pop into position on one of its transformations.  I
was not able to get into the class on either day it was taught, but did
learn the model from Janet Yelle late Saturday night.  I also was able to
teach several people the Rose Cube, after a failed attempt in assembling the
cube with my first student, Scott Cramer.  Fortunately, I did eventually
remember the correct procedure, and was able to find Scott and show him the
proper assembly.  Scott showed me Robert Lang's Five-Leaf Book, which he
taught on Sunday.

I did get into the Kami Starball class, taught by Jeanine Mosely.  This
starball was similar in appearance to one she taught last year from business
cards, only it was made from squares and had a better locking mechanism than
the cards.  Jeanine entertained the class with the mathematical reasons of
why the model works as we continued to fold modules.  She said she designs
models by working out the math first, rather than creating something then
doing the math to figure out why it works.  Mike Naughton added some insight
into creating multi-colored starballs.  Other Saturday classes I took were a
Snow Crystal, taught by Doug Philips; a Modular Star, taught by Eileen
Satkin; and a vase taught by Louise Oppenheimer-Flax.

On Sunday I took a class called "Puffy Star" during which we were
entertained by instructor Barbara Young's classroom tips ("Always teach from
the back of the room").  Barbara provided wallpaper for our models.  The
Houseplants class with John Blackman taught us to make various leaves, which
he had joined with wire and moss into clay pots for some very real looking
plants.  The spinning tops class with Yami Yamauchi was just plain fun -
Yami seems to specialize in toys and to enjoy playing.  Finally, Joyce Saler
taught Nakajima's Parakeets on a Perch, a relatively simple model that is
quite comical looking.

The exhibit area was spectacular.  Chris Palmer had some large scale fabric
tesselations hung on the windows, so that the patterns made by the light
shing through the layers was visible.  Jeanine Mosely's model of Menger's
Sponge had grown since last year's convention, but is still only about
half-way to completion.  James Sakoda had a display of his low-relief
folding hung up, and I must say that a description does not do them
justice - the patterns reflected by the foil in the low-relief designs were
wonderful.  Vernon Issac had a number of modulars folded from Metro cards.
Joseph Wu's display included models of the diagrams that were posted on his
web site right before the convention, his models from "The Crane Maiden",
and samples of the models he created for the recent Olympics.  While there
were many spectacular displays, two of the more unusual were various animal
models folded out of specially computer-colored paper.  The folder (whose
name slips my mind) folded a model, unfolded it, then used the computer to
create graphics at the appropriate places on a flat sheet so that they would
appear at the appropriate places when the model was folded.  The other
unusual display was Yamauchi's Fireworks display.  Many copies in various
colors and sizes were displayed in large round pans so that they did,
indeed, look like fireworks going off around each other.  The unusual part
was that the display included a "please touch" shelf, with several fireworks
that could be manipulated by all who so desired.

I spent some time between classes up at the Supply Center since my husband,
a non-folder, was volunteering there for the whole convention.  While the
Supply Center was fully staffed with volunteers, there were several others
who were also non-folders, and I found that I was useful answering questions
about the difficulty of books, good books for teachers, etc.  The convention
T-shirts almost completely sold out - the design being a black shirt with
colored blocks depicting various traditional models.

I'm looking forward to getting into the books I bought, and already waiting
for next year!

Hi there,

I just thought I would send one last message to the list before signing
off, for what I hope will be a temporary period.

On Wednesday, I had a trip down to London and decided to call in at
Bookends, the new supplier of stock for the British Origami Society.
I have to say, I have never seen so many origami books available in one
place.  I could have spent a serious amount 8^), but I showed restraint
and only bought two books - "Russian Origami" by Sergei Afonkin & Tom
Hull, and "Unit Origami" by Tomoko Fuse.  Those attending the Nottingham
convention in September have a wide choice to look forward to, and I also
hope to see you there.

Later on, while walking up Oxford Street, I came across Muji, the shop
where the BOS obtains some of its paper supplies.  Originally, I had
thought that it came from an art and craft supplies shop, but was
pleasantly surprised to find that the shop sells all sorts of offbeat
stuff 8^).  If you get to London some time, I'd recommend popping in.
By the way, how is muji pronounced?  Is it muu'gee or mwee, as one of
my friends has suggested?

If you reply to this little question, please send a personal email as
well to my Bigfoot address.  Thank you for some inspiring emails over
the previous months, and I hope to be back on the list soon.

Hmong textiles are truly amazing and would definitely appeal to those who
appreciate Arabic tiles and tessallations. Here's a web page with images
for those who can't go to the Smithsonian:

No tetrahedron though.

Very large Hmong population in Merced, California. 1 out of 5 residents in
fact. Fresno has a large number of Hmong refugees as well and is host to a
large gathering for the Hmong New Year.

Hmong individual of note for the origami community is Thay Yang of "Exotic

Subject: Re: Boar by Issei Yoshino
Recently Sebastian Kirsch asked about the text accompanying steps
66-73 of the Wild Boar in Yoshino's "Super Complex Origami".  I have a
copy of the book (couldn't resist such a glorious set of models), read
a little Japanese, and was feeling like a challange, so here goes:

Text near steps 66-67:
        Use the creases made in step 61

Step 67:
        Fold so the (outside) edge lines up with the center line

Step 68:
        Spread one pleat; look carefully at the diagram

Step 69:
        Once again, spreading, enlarge one pleat

(Right about here I think the model does become non-flat, you'll
notice the edge at the lower right of the drawing next to the hand is
not straight at all, but bent "up".  It's not explicit until the next
step.)

Step 70 text near arrow:
        (the model) becomes three-dimensional (like a solid body)

(There's a little blob of darker color shading in the corner which
must represent a shadow, indicating it's definitely not flat at this point.)

Step 70 other text:
        fold back into an indented V-shape

Step 71 text near arrow:
        V-shaped indented area

Step 71 other text:
        do steps 66-70 the same way on the other side

Step 72 text on the left:
        these two edges will lie on top of each other

Step 72 text on the right:
        spreading flat the space at the end of the arrows, squash and
        put in order/collect/bring to conclusion (sorry, can't think how
        best to translate this)

Step 73:
        fold in progress

(Note that these are not necessarily literal translations, in some
cases I've used the most common English diagramming equivalent.  And
for some words I wasn't quite sure of the exact connotation, but the
basic meaning is pretty clear.)

I do think that once you get to step 74 the model flattens out again,
but it doesn't say so explicitly anywhere that I can find.

I hope that helps!  I have to admit that I haven't folded this
particular model, so this is all going from the diagrams and text, not
direct experience.

BTW, although I'm not Neal Elias, I can answer this. Yes, there's a Last
Supper by him (I've folded it from a B.O.S. booklet, I think - anybody from
B.O.S. who confirms this?).

But to load up the number of questions, I have:

1), HOW was he able to stop folding?

2), The idea of box-pleating came suddenly to him or was a result of research?

Yes, there is a Last Supper -- but from four sheets of paper (one
rectangle and three squares), not from one sheet. Eric Kenneway mentions
in _Complete_Origami_ that Neal Elias wanted (or maybe he still wants) to
fold the Last Supper from one uncut sheet of paper.

Subject: Sorry about that

It has never been my attention to abuse the list.
I have always wanted to see it grow and be the useful tool that it has
become.
In our area,the Hudson Valley; I founded a Origami club, 'ORIGAMI
KINGSTON', which still meets twice a month. At the Kingston Area Library
I have taught classes for cancer survivors at Benidictine Hospital.
Family of Woodstock, a community action group, has asked for us to work
with their 'Children at Risk Program' and a great time was had by all.
Hospice too has now started to plan different ideas using origami for
fund raising during the holiday season.
Our local YMCA also has joined in by including Origami in their camp
program.
All the above and the fact that 'COET' does exist made me feel that an
article I had written awhile back might be of use to someone in
education, criminal rehabilitation, general therapy, etc.
I still am not sure as to which method correct for getting information
to the list.
It was never my intention to do anything other than to edify.
So here goes:
        " An iterative process is an efficient mechanism for generating form,
creating
elaborate structures with a minimum expenditure of energy and
information. The results,
not surprisingly, are structures that appear self-similar."

        When reading the above from Peter Engel's, Origami from Angelfish to
Zen; I was
so taken aback that I had to make sure that I was reading a book on
Origami.[Origami is
the ancient art of paper folding]
        Being in jail and looking for things with which to keep busy I
remembered  a
friends' child fascinating me as she folded a crane in front of my eyes
and presented it to
me. I thought I might enjoy this 'paper folding'.
        I asked a friend if he would find a book on the subject.
        I am not sure if the friend had 'chosen' this book for me or merely
plucked it from
the shelve. At this point it does not matter, for it has become one of
my favorite reads.
        In a recent letter, I wrote the following; " This time,[in jail], has
given me the
space to examine my past and to bring a richness into my life that was
not there before.
For with all my education and money I have never set aside the time to
review my life or
to rethink the 'Why' for which I am here.
        While reading Mr. Engle's book I came to feel that my life was akin to
an origami
model. I had a multitude of folds,[experiences], which when viewed
independently looked
like utter chaos. But when assembled took shape,[character].
        Mr. Engle instructs the folder to examine their origami by; "unfolding
the paper",
in order to see from what angles it came into being. As he states; "what
seems to be a
bunch of unrelated lines that seem to have no relationship to one
another, are in fact very
much related."
        Now having taken the time to do this introspection of myself I feel
that I am in a
better position to go forward with this process we call life.
        Jail has been the iterative process needed for me to grow.

        The above was part of a 'jailhouse' newsletter, written back in April
of 96.
While in prison Origami allowed me to pass many an hour without care. I
was also able to
witness the therapeutic affect on myself and my fellow inmates.
        When I started to fold I was at the table by myself. A few days latter
I was joined
by another inmate. That night he too read Mr. Engles book and the next
day we formed
the group 'ITERATION'
        As the days  passed other inmates would stop. Some would look, others
made
comments, or gave compliments and some joined us.
        Nicknames are part of prison life and as our group grew we choose names
such as:
'The Crease', 'The Bend', 'The Fold', just to mention a few.
        Through a friend we were able to get a copy of  ORIGAMI CLASSROOM by
Nakano; which came with our first Origami paper. The wife of another
inmate sent us
books by Neale and hull and one by Rosado, we were on our way.
        Because of the environment in which we were folding most chose folds
which
were able to be mailed and not damaged. Some of these were: Kissing
Lips, Sitting
Puppy, Somersaulting Frog, Lillys just to mention a few.
        Next a letter was sent to Dover Press requesting a catalogue and
informing them
that we were not able to shop like most people. They not only sent the
catalogue but were
nice enough to include a few books along with some 7" and 9" paper.
        My birthday came at about the same time and a friend surprised me with
a copy of
The Complete Origami by kenneway.
        Now we were in full swing. We had 6 books and 9 full time folders every
night
after dinner. We also had those who had no desire to fold but were able
to help us out
when the group was stuck trying to figure out a new fold.
        Non- folders started to offer us cigarettes for our work, [ cigarettes
are money in
jail]. The cigarettes were traded to other inmates who's families would
shop for paper and
bring it in on their visits. The paper was shared with those inmates who
had a strong desire
to fold and no funds., We were basically, 'not-for-profit'.
        Guards were also attracted to our table. Some admitted to folding in
the past.
Others were amazed that we could sit and work together without incident.
One even took
the address of Origami USA and got his mother a membership!
        We knew we had finally arrived when guards allowed us to 'pass' our
models to
friends and family at visits.
        What I was able to be part of and witness to was the process of one
human being
helping another. Old, young, black, white, Muslim, and Jew all working
side by side. I saw
the return of social skills and the building of self esteem. I watched
as myself and others
found a way in which to channel aggression and relieve stress.
        Slowly as we felt at ease with ourselves and compatible with each other
our group
took on a duel purpose. We were not only doing Origami but also having a
'rap' session.
many bridges were crossed that may have never come to light had it not
been for our
common cause...Origami.
        One session was most reveling. Each member was asked to design or fold
a model
of something in their life and to present it the next day; with a
description of why it was
important. Needless to say the results were astounding.
        I had written to Origami USA some time earlier and not received a
response, but
then it came. There was a nice cover letter, paper, a copy of  Models by
Members, and
some copies of the newsletter. Much of what we read we were already
experiencing.
        I have left jail and know that what I and the other inmates shared will
stay with me
for life.

to help us out
when the group was stuck trying to figure out a new fold.
        Non- folders started to offer us cigarettes for our work, [ cigarettes
are money in
jail]. The cigarettes were traded to other inmates who's families would
shop for paper and
bring it in on their visits. The paper was shared with those inmates who
had a strong desire
to fold and no funds., We were basically, 'not-for-profit'.
        Guards were also attracted to our table. Some admitted to folding in
the past.
Others were amazed that we could sit and work together without incident.
One even took
the address of Origami USA and got his mother a membership!
        We knew we had finally arrived when guards allowed us to 'pass' our
models to
friends and family at visits.
        What I was able to be part of and witness to was the process of one
human being
helping another. Old, young, black, white, Muslim, and Jew all working
side by side. I saw
the return of social skills and the building of self esteem. I watched
as myself and others
found a way in which to channel aggression and relieve stress.
        Slowly as we felt at ease with ourselves and compatible with each other
our group
took on a duel purpose. We were not only doing Origami but also having a
'rap' session.
many bridges were crossed that may have never come to light had it not
been for our
common cause...Origami.
        One session was most reveling. Each member was asked to design or fold
a model
of something in their life and to present it the next day; with a
description of why it was
important. Needless to say the results were astounding.
        I had written to Origami USA some time earlier and not received a
response, but
then it came. There was a nice cover letter, paper, a copy of  Models by
Members, and
some copies of the newsletter. Much of what we read we were already
experiencing.
        I have left jail and know that what I and the other inmates shared will
stay with me
for life.

I received a copy of this, too, and have been trying to confirm it with Art
Beaudry before posting it. I guess that's moot now. 8)

This yiear the Black Ship Festival is being held on July 16-19  in Newport,
RI.  Events include Festival of Drums, Arts and Crafts, Sumo Wrestling,
Judo and martial arts demonstrations, Kubota Powerjazz unit concert.  For
information or tickets one can call 1-800-976-5122.
     Arts and crafts events are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 18
and 19, 10 to 4 pm in Touro Park on Bellevue Ave opposite the art museum.
Among the many events are classes in origami by Keiko Nabb pm Saturday,
July 18, at 11.45am -1.15 pm and 3.00-4.15 pm.
      I am  teaching a class for intermediate and advance folders on
'Sunday, July 19 at 2.00 - 4 pm in Tent A.  I am teaching a simplified
version of origami flower arrangement involving a single stem with one or
two bird base rose, involving stems, leaves and a stem holder all folded
from a five inch square foil paper.  Stems use half a sheet and leaves are
cut into fourths.  The idea is to fold a rose, add stems and leaves to
embellish it and fold a stem holder to hold it all, without the need for a
larger vase made of poster board and ten inch square foil paper.  The
bigger and more complex arrangements will be spelled out in the Origami
Flower Arrangement book which is being prepared by Dover Publications for
their fall printing.
     There is a registration fee of $5. for each class and preregistraton
is recommended, but for my class it is not necessary because the limit of
25 is usually not reached.  James M. Sakoda
