Subject: Ticket Modular Units (long, with ascii instructions)

Amy Liikala asked about things you can fold out of tickets.  Le
Mouvement Francais de Plieurs (the french paper folders association)
published a book called "Le Ticket Plie" or, in English, "The Folded
Ticket" which details many interesting things you can do with used
Paris Metro tickets.  For those who are interested, this book is
listed at the OUSA web-site as "in print" which means, I think, that
you can order it from them.

The tickets that Amy has collected are a different size (1.5" x 3.75")
from the Paris tickets (30mm x 66mm), but I have modified one of the
Parisian models to the dimensions of her materials.  I don't know,
however, whether the quality of the stock (thickness, springiness) is
appropriate for this model.  For the model in question, the cards
should be fairly thin, reasonably springy, and not too brittle.  I
will describe the French model first (as I remember it), and then
describe my modifications.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Rhombicosidodecahedron

This model is made from 50 very simple modules, each folded from a
rectangle of paper that is in the ratio of 1 to 2. These are not quite
the dimensions of Paris Metro tickets, so that the original module
must be slightly different from what I will describe.  This method
uses 50 identical modules.  I like to use two different colors of
paper: 30 pieces in one color and 20 in the other.  Origami paper is
good -- just cut the sheets in half.  Make your creases starting with
the white side up, and only the colored side will show on the finished
model.

Make a fold parallel to one of the long edges of the rectangle,
bringing the edge in to about the middle, then fold the other long
edge in to meet it.  You now have a flat, rectangular "tube" with a
seam down its middle.  The strip is in the ratio of 1 to 4.  Note the
seam does not have to be exactly in the middle, allowing you to make
these first two folds approximately.  The only requirement is that the
edges meet without overlapping.  Now fold the strip in half, bringing
the short edges together.  Unfold this step, and fold the strip in
quarters by bringing the short edges to the crease in the middle.  The
tube is divided into 4 equal squares.

This diagram show where the creases would be if you unfolded the strip:

    _______________________________________________
   |         :             :             :         | 1/4
   |.........:.............:.............:.........|
   |         :             :             :         |
   |         :             :             :         | 1/2
   |         :             :             :         |
   |.........:.............:.............:.........|
   |         :             :             :         | 1/4
   |_________:_____________:_____________:_________|
       1/2        1/2           1/2          1/2

Now tuck the square on one end inside the square on the other end, to
form a triangular tube .  Take another piece and do the same, but
thread the loop through the first triangle, before tucking its ends
together.  The two triangles are linked.  Keep adding triangles to the
structure and see what you get!  The possibilities are endless.

However, the object I have in mind looks like this.  Imagine a regular
icosahedron (20 equilateral triangular faces, with 5 face coming
together at each vertex).  Erect on each of these faces a triangular
prism (20 modules, all one color).  At each edge of the icosahedron,
two square faces of adjacent prisms rise up from the surface of the
icosahedron.  Band each such pair together with a module (30 modules,
the second color).  The reulting form resembles the Archmidean solid
called a rhombicosidodecahedron, which is more conveniently designated
(3,4,5,4), which means that each vertex contains a triangle, square,
pentagon, square, in that order.

I say "resembles" this solid, in part, because only the squares are
actually present, the triangular and pentagonal "faces" are voids.
But a more compelling reason for saying "resembles" is that the
geometry is only approximate.  If one uses the modules I described
above for the triangular prisms (that is, the height of the prism
equals the edge of the triangle) then the quadrilateral faces on the
outer surface connecting the triangular and pentagonal voids are not
squares, but rectangles whose sides are in the ratio of (sqrt 5)-1 to
(sqrt 3).  This discrepancy can be fudged, by allowing the squares to
bulge outward slightly.  On the other hand, a figure could be
constructed where the outer quadrilaterals were in fact square, but
this would require the prisms to be shorter, and that cannot be easily
fudged.

I have instructions for an improved version of the
rhombicosidodehedron, where the outer faces of the linking triangles
do not need to bulge, but I have posted them to the list before, and I
believe you can find them in the archives.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Exploded Rhombic Dodecahedron

Amy's tickets are in the ratio of 5:2.  This means that if we narrow
them, by folding the long edges up and down to meet, as in the module
describe above, the resulting strip will be in the ratio of 5:1.
Divide the strip into five equal squares.  This diagram shows where the
creases would be if you unfolded the strip:

    _____________________________________________________________
   |         :             :             :             :         | 1/4
   |.........:.............:.............:.............:.........|
   |         :             :             :             :         |
   |         :             :             :             :         | 1/2
   |         :             :             :             :         |
   |.........:.............:.............:.............:.........|
   |         :             :             :             :         | 1/4
   |_________:_____________:_____________:_____________:_________|
       1/2        1/2           1/2          1/2          1/2

Now tuck the square on one end inside the square on the other end, to
form a rhombic tube.  It can be deformed to make a rhombus with any
desired ratio for its diagonals.  These are the base modules.  Linking
modules can be made by shoving one end of the strip deeper into the
other end, so that two squares overlap, instead of just one, producing
a triangular tube instead.  (Pushing the ends of the strip in this far
is tricky, but it can be done.)

The model we are making will use 12 rhombic tubes linked by 24
triangular tubes.  In fact, though, because the triangular tubes are
so hard to form, the easiest way to assemble the model is to make all
the triangles first and link them with the rhombic ones.
Nevertheless, because it is easier to think about the other way, I
will continue to refer to the triangles as the links, and rhombuses as
the base modules.

Imagine a rhombic dodecahedron, a shape with twelve rhombic faces,
whose diagonals are in the ratio of sqrt(2):1, with 6 vertices where
four faces meet (the acute angles of the rhombuses) and 8 vertices
where three faces meet (the obtuse angles of the rhombuses).  Now
imagine that you place one of these rhombic tubes on each face of the
dodecahedron, and link each adjacent pair of rhombic "edges" with a
triangular module.  That's the shape we're trying to make!

Remember that in the Rhombicosidodecahedron model the triangular
linking modules were not exactly mathematically the right shape?  One
side of the triangle needed to be shorter than the other two, or it
would bulge outward.  Well, with this model, the triangle is exactly
what we need, because the dihedral angle of the rhombic dodecahedron
is 120 degrees!

I have not tried it, but I think that you could also make this with
the linkers being rhombuses, instead of triangles, and the shape would
be a little spiky, with the extra faces protruding from it.

A similar treatment can be given to the rhombic triacontahedron, a
shape with 30 rhombic faces, whose diagonals are in the golden ratio
(sqrt(5)+1:2), with 12 vertices where five faces meet (the acute
angles) and 20 vertices where three faces meet (the obtuse angles).
The trouble is that dihedral angle of the rhombic triacontahedron is
144 degrees, and the equilateral triangular linkers are not quite
right, and adjusting them would be a pain.  Or it might work to link
with rhombic modules, with the extra faces protruding.

Have fun!

Hi Diane,
        I was asked by a group that promotes Asian and Pacific Arts that gives

hours they think they need and pay $25 an hour.  Summer school classes
for kids was charged on a tuition basis, the more kids you got, the more

Subject: Re: Stands

Ahliana Byrd asked:

> Has anyone designed stands for models? . . .

I have designed a simple one, which I use for models such as
angelfish which have a flat point on the bottom that can be
used to support the entire model. I will try to describe it:

1) I begin with a square, but this is not necessary. Make
a cupboard fold (vertical edges to center line), showing color.

2) Mountain crease in half the long way (so cupboard flaps are
on the outside of the model).

3) Valley crease the raw edges back down, to form a rough "M"
shape. Make the creases roughly 1/3 from the crease in step 2,
but this is approximate. If you err, make the error on the side
of less than 1/3.

4) Fold the raw edges back up, using the crease in step 2 as a
guide. When viewed from the side, your model should look something
like this: "\/\/\/" .  Note: your original cupboard flaps are on
the bottom of the model, and the cupboard creases run left to
right. Flatten the two side flaps: "_/\/\_" .

5) Note the center four layers form two points, each using two
layers (each "layer" is actually two thicknesses of paper).
Push the four layers together and consider them as a rectangle.
Diagonal crease the top right and left corners (all four layers).
Note that the trick is NOT to make a point, but to leave leave
a nice horizontal "blunt" section between the left and right
creases (your choice of where to put the creases in step 3 will
determine how well you do here!).

6) Using these creases as a guide, inside-reverse fold one point
on each side (I usually do the front layer on the right and the
back layer on the left, but that isn't really important). Then
tuck the remaining corner on each side into the pockets you have
just made.

7) You can now take the bottom point of your model and slide it
between the layers in the central "blunt" area, and you can adjust
the two side flaps you flattened in step 4 to make the whole thing
more stable. Clearly, varying your choice about where to put the
various creases will allow you a wider or narrower "blunt" area,
depending on your needs.

I especially like folding an angelfish out of colorful paper and
then making a base out of a blue or green sheet of the same size,
giving the impression of a fish in the water. I like leaving them
as tips after I've had a nice seafood dinner. . . .

Hope this helps. I'll be happy to answer questions in more detail

Here goes, I'm asking a question about a topic many people shy away from --
money! Not the folded variety, but the income! Is there such a thing as a
"going rate" for teaching origami? (Yes, I realize this is an international
list so I might have to do some monetary conversion, but don't people teach

With all the current bombardment of 'documentaries' on the Titanic, I was

My mind just linked this with origami, and it's durability - it may be
perceived as an art from you can just toss away (particularly in

Subject: Mickey Mouse & perserverance/advice required

I have just finished folding Mickey Mouse. Not a bad achievement
considering the diagrams I have are very faint and unclear. Often I was
folding without the benefit of symbols and merely guessing at the folds
required to take me from one step to the next. Sometimes I just came to
a dead end and needed to spend ages just manipulating the paper in the
hope of finding a solution. Perhaps through effort or maybe just luck I
overcame the obstacles.

This is my point. Perseverance is perhaps the most essential requirement
for folding origami at a reasonable level. What do people think?

Anyway well done Pat Gallo who diagrammed this model. I'm sure the
originals are excellent, and to T.Handa for creating such a wonderful
design.

*****If anyone has any other Disney or cartoon characters model sheets
they can spare I would really like to hear from them!

Finally I hope to redo the Mickey model. Has anyone any suggestions as
to paper choice. The obvious is black & white but I seem to recall
seeing a picture in a J apanese arts book which showed the model done in
coloured foil. A good idea or stick to tradition?

Subject: Re: Kawahata's 3D Animals?

I checked the ISBN about one week ago and it's the same as
"Origami Wild Animals of the World"'s, published by Ishizue more than
one year ago. So probably it's not (sigh) a new book at all,
just a new (or loose) translation of the title.
I and Joseph Wu separately commented something about WAotW in this list
last year; most models are high intermediate, I'll tell you what I
remember:
- sitting fox, squirrel, anteater: low intermediate, quite abstract
- howling wolf, african buffallo, gnu, rhino, polar bear: I-HI
- bison: the same as diagrammed in Montroll's NAAiO
- musk ox: not the same as in NAAiO, it's simpler
- sitting gorilla: nice 3D
- panda: not the same as in ORU diagrams #1, more cute and abstract
- gazelle: almost complex
(everything from a single square, no cuts)

For technical folders and realism-seekers: this book is not in a
level with Origami Fantasy, or even Origami Dinosaurs 2---but IMHO
it's much better than "Imaginary Animals of the World".

Subject: Folding California Television Show

Since last September, I have posted to the list about an origami
television show that I am writing, producing, directing and editing,
called Folding California.

Here's a brief update: So far, over eighty people from all over the
origami world - artists, folders, consultants, a title animator and a
translator - have
generously contributed their talents to Folding California.

Several hundred models have been folded and a number of original models
have been commissioned, including Marc Kirschenbaum's En Route To The
Observatory (King Kong Climbing the Empire State Building), which he
taught this year at the OrigamiUSA Convention.

Folding California will be completed by December 1998. It is being
produced for the City of Santa Monica, California and will air on the
municipal cable channel. I will enter Folding California in film and
video festivals throughout the country and I hope to eventually air it
on national television.

The City of Santa Monica has given me very limited resources for the
production of Folding California. Thanks to Florence Temko, an origami
angel from the community has donated funds to subsidize the cost of
crewing two additional shoots.

However, I will still need additional funding to subsidize the cost of
on-line editing @$100/hour and the cost of music licenses.  Although
Folding California is an educational, non-profit and non-commercial
show, I will not be able to secure all music publishing and performance
rights gratis.  I will have to purchase separate music licenses for the
privilege of entering film festivals and for  screening Folding
California in the US (one license) and in Europe (another more expensive
license).

I would like to issue an appeal for people to help sponsor and subsidize
the completion of Folding California. You will receive a screen credit
and, for a donation of fifty dollars or more, a complimentary copy of
Folding California.

You will also be supporting a most unique origami television project.
Folding California features an entire origami cast of characters and
contains a major collection of origami art. It is my hope that audiences
will be inspired by the spectacle of richly detailed, beautifully folded
origami art to learn how to create their own paper magic.  Contact
information for OrigamiUSA and the British Origami Society will be
provided in the end-credits.

If Folding California does well in the video competitions (I have
previously won a CableACE and have been nominated for an Emmy), I hope
to receive grant money to produce more origami television shows.
On a personal note, I have been folding since 1984 when I joined Lillian
Oppenheimer's monthly origami salon. It was love at first fold. My
teachers were a glitterati of origami greats: Lillian, Alice Gray,
Michael Shall and Mark Kennedy.
I am dedicating Folding California to Lillian, Alice and Michael.

If you would like to help sponsor/subsidize Folding California, please
contact me privately.

Thank you very much.

Jun Maekawa's 3 demons appear in Viva! Origami.  The demons are each folded
from a single, square, sheet of paper.  One of these demons has optional
wings/fingers/diaper (you can't have all three at the same time).

This demon, or a variation on it, has been diagrammed in one of the ORU
volumes.  The ORU books/magazines are available.  Certainly the Kinokunia
book chain sells them; I imagine they may be found elsewhere.

Viva! Origami is out of print.  Evidently the name must be spelled with the
exclamation point, as I understand there is a series of books published
under the Viva Origami title.  In the United States, the reference librarian
of your local public library will, for a small fee ($2 at my library) obtain
an interlibrary loan of the book for you.  Though the book may not be bought,
you can still do the models.

Welcome to the list.

SF means Science Fiction (and Fantasy) topics, I believe.

SF models include, for example:
    various versions of the Starship Enterprise,
        Jeremy Shafer's is diagrammed in a back-issue of
            his BARF newsletter,
        I think there is a Mark Kirschenbaum ship
            diagrammed on a web page,
        and I'm pretty sure I saw a third design, maybe in a
            convention book;
        Romulan Warbird -type ship,
        anything recognizable pertaining to Star Trek,
            including "Vulcan Ears", and
            Klingon weapons;
        Jun Maekawa's "Jedi Master, Yoda",
            diagrams in the Origami Tanteidan Convention 3
            convention book, still available;
        anything recognizable pertaining to Star Wars;
        anything recognizable pertaining to Babylon 5;
        Rocket ships.

Off to the side, we have Fantasy, which includes
the traditional (for the USA)
    Ghost;
    Monster;
    Vampire;
    any evil thing out of a horror movie;
    anything recognizable out of Western Mythology
    including
        Dragon
            (see The Flapping Bird by Samuel Randlett
            for the elegant Robert Neale's Dragon);
        Unicorn
            (the soon-to-be-reprinted, maybe by Dover?,
            book, Origami, A Step-by-Step Guide,
            by Robert Harbin, has a neat Patricia Crawford
            Unicorn, and a Mermaid, too);
        Pegasus
             (there's one in one of John Montroll's early books);
        Centaur;
        Fairy;
        Witch;
        etc.

That help any?

I'm in the USA, so this may not help, but I acquired all but the first issue
from
Sasuga bookstore, who import the books from Japan. You might ask them,

I'm afraid I've never seen any copies of ORU for sale in the UK. I have
managed to acquire a set, by keeping my ear to the ground for when
colleagues/friends were going to Japan, and then giving them money to

Jun Maekawa diagrammed 3 models in Viva! Origami that may be referred to as
demons/devils/monsters.  Of the three, the second has a contrasting-color
OBJECT folded so as to cover his/her private parts.  It extends from the
waist, slightly down the two legs.  If the description of this as a 'diaper'
offends you, may I call it 'hot pants' or '(male) bathing suit'?  Or is
the problem that devils are not allowed to have diapers (even when infants),
and one is required to call them either 'ONI' or 'ORI' when one sees them
with diapers?  In the latter case, would you be so kind as to tell us
non-Japanese speakers what ONI/ORI translate to in English?  I assume they
don't translate to 'devil'?

Maekawa's Devils don't have a diaper. It is called ONI that have a diaper.
The model diagrammed in ORU no.11 (1995 Winter) is ORI, not Devil.
Yes, you can say ONI is Japanese Devil... :)

Devil was also diagrammed in 1st Origami Tanteidan Convention Book,
but this is also out of print.

By the way, Yamaguchi san said Origami House may publish Maekawa's Devil
with other models. They are preparing a book of insects origami now,
and Devil may be contained in the next book.

In the 30's and 40's, printers used to make squarish hats out of the daily

One other thought - it used to be possible to obtain issues of ORU from
Viereck Verlag in Germany, there may be information on the web pages of
Origami Deutschland on how to contact Silke Schroder who runs Viereck

Many, if not most of the Postscript origami files available
on the internet are also available as *.PDF files, which
are for the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. Acrobat is available
for free from Adobe's web site, and may already be on your
system, as it also comes with a variety of other software.

It is much easier to use Acrobat: you can view the files
and print them on just about any printer, and Acrobat has
versions for Windows and MAC.

So check the web site where you got the Postscript file
and see if it doesn't have PDF files too. And even if it
doesn't, if you let us know where you got the file, some
of us can make PDF files from Postscript files, and can
ask the file owner if it is all right to do that for you.

Aloha Renata,

Here are some book references:

There's a really solid eight-pointed Pinwheel
that would make a reasonable ninja throwing star
in The Flapping Bird by Samuel Randlett, which is
still in print.

There is a very detailed two-square Kendo figure,
in "Quarterly Oru Folding Diagrams, Vol. 1"
(doesn't appear to have an ISBN), which I think is
still available from Sasuga, even tho
ORU magazine has ceased publication.
(I think it's a Kendo figure, the grilled face mask
is sort of distinctive. Unfortunately I don't read Japanese.)

Pages 109-121 of Akira Yoshizawa's recent book,
I can't read the Japanese name, but the ISBN  is
4-916096-31-3, show a human figure that
could be adapted for your needs.

I don't know if this helps, but there have been some
very nice kabuto (helmets) published recently.
Sorry, but I don't remember where I saw them.
*sigh*. They're fancy improvements on the
traditional helmet (the hat with the V-shaped "antlers").

Ah, I found one, pages 22-30 in
"Quarterly Oru Folding Diagrams, Vol. 1".

And another with a display stand, pp. 54-62 of
the "Origami Tanteidan 3rd Convention" book.

And the traditional kabuto and two easy variations,
pp. 72-73 of Origami Treasure Chest, by Keiji
Kitamura, ISBN 0-87040-868-2.

Hope this helps.

To clear up the confusion:

On pages 150 to 157 are the diagrams for two related models, the "oni" and
the fingerless "devil". The models are the same up to step 30. The "oni"
(sometimes translated "ogre" or "goblin") is the one with the "diaper". The
"devil" (called "akuma so no 1" or "devil number 1") does not have this
"diaper", and its diagrams are incomplete.

On pages 158 to 165 are the instructions to "devil number 2" ("akuma so no
2"). Actually, page 158 contains some design discussions and brief
instructions on how to make the "oni" into a version with fingers.

So Hatori-san is not "offended" by the word diaper. He was merely pointing
out that the model with the diaper is not the "devil".

As far as I know, Silke still has all Oru issues on stock. She sells them for
47,50 DM each, or 800 DM for the complete collection (Oru 1-16 + Oru Folding
Diagrams 1+2).

The address is:

Subject: Re: Printer's Hat, Origami Club, More Mette Units

        Hope I'm sending this just to the list, not the list and
everyone individually.  Let me know if I messed up (we have a new e-mail
system).

        PRINTER'S HAT:  I believe there is also a diagram in Robert
Harbin's Teach Yourself Origami (although I love the Biddle book, TYO is
probably less expensive).

        ORIGAMI CLUB:  I'm trying to start an origami club on our
college campus (I'm a staff member here); thought maybe I'd see if any
students will actually show up and if it takes off start inviting local
folders (hi Arthur, and anyone else out there).  So today I had a table
at our orientation activities fair and got 22 people signed up as
interested!  A few folks even folded with me (the crane and the shrimp).
I folded a Magic Rose Cube and gave it to a student who'd seen one in my
office before.  It was very fun, even if nothing comes of it (it's
notoriously difficult to get students on a regular schedule for anything
but classes).  If it doesn't take off, the next goal is a local group.
If it does take off, maybe both....

        MORE METTE UNITS:  VERY COOL!!!!!  I've folded the Septagonal
Spiral (which many people admired at my table) and am working on the
1/8th Twin Peaks model (30 pieces).  Mette even got me a copy within
three days of the original list posting on it!

        All very fun.  Have a good weekend, all!

Might I suggest that 'message from internet' is not

a continuation of the thread.

Try this site for a traditional hat that can be turned into a boat.

Let me explain ONI.

ONI is the Japanese monster which has a body of a man, horns of a bull,
and fangs of a tiger. He/She is naked expect a FUNDOSHI (loincloth)
made of the skin of a tiger.

"ORI" is just my mis-typing.

Hi !!!

        I bought some time ago Origami Fantasy, by Fumiaki Kawahata, because I
loved those two models of the unicorn and the pegasus.

        About one month ago I thought of writing a letter to Fumiaki telling
     him,
on one hand, that I like his creations very much, and on the other, to tell
him about three models that I think he would make a great creations of (
one of them was a blending of this Unicorn and Pegasus, to  make one horse
with both wings and a horn). I meant three models that I dream some day of
seeing done by him ( his technique).

        My questions are:

        1) Do you see him often ? Because if so I would like you to ask him if
     he
got the letter and if he understood it ( it was in english)

        2) if you have his latest address, because I wrote to an address from 3
years ago...that might be wrong.

                                                        Thanks.

"expect" is wrong. It should be "except".

        You do what you want with your money, but I'm sure that is one or 2
     years,
people will be desperate to find the complete collection of the ORU issues.

        So, if I can give you an advice to all of you who have some money to
spend, it is :

*********************************
***    BUY THEM ALL ! ! !    ***
*********************************

They are REALLY worth the money !  I have them all but the last 2 issues
(which I will buy very soon), and they are all beautifull.

Remember all the mails concerning VIVA Origami, with people willing to give
their right arm to get one copy ?  well, ORU will be the next
"I'd-give-my-right-foot-to-get-them".

        JJ Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasalongaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(who once owned a copy of Viva Origami, who once lent it to a friend, and
who never got it back because the friend lost it).

Yipe! You're right, I don't know how I got so confused. That's my fault for
trusting my memory and not checking it in the Tanteidan Convention 3 book.

My apologies to Kawahata Fumiaki and Jun Maekawa for the wrong attribution.
