Subject: $ fold tip story

Hi all:

I folded some dolphin money folds for Jeff (my boyfriend) to take along
on his business trip to Cayman Brac Island (one of the perks of owning a
scuba store).  Everyone got a kick out of them. A group of people called
him to their table, Jeff show us how to make those dolphins. He said "I
don't know how, my girlfriend folds them but I can show you how to make
a sea urchin". Everyone was excited and wanted to learn. He said he
needed a crisp, even dollar bill. There were about 5 people going
through their wallets finding their best dollar. "No, No, that won't
due", after turning down at least 3 bills, he accepted a suitable bill.
Then he crumbled it up in a ball and threw it on the table. A Sea
Urchin! Everyone roared with laughter, then Jeff said, "I can make a
snowball too"!
Too funny, he said he had them going for about 10 minutes and it was
hard to keep a straight face.

Subject: Re: Origamian

     It was suggested that the best format for republishing the
Origmian would be CD-ROM since everyone has access to CD-ROM readers
wither on their own equipment or at the public library.

     I am reference librarian at a fairly good sized library in a
metropolitan area.  We do not allow people to bring in their own
CD-ROMs and run them on our machines.  As a staff person I cannot
bring in a CD-ROM and run it on our machines.  There are reasons for
this.

     We have received CD-ROMs that have been contaminated with
viruses.  This was before many of our machines were networked so the
damage was not as great.

     All CD-ROMs require software to run.  Not all CD-ROMs have the
software needed loaded on the individual CD-ROM.  Invariably, the
software needed would not be available.  The other problem we have
experienced is that often a new CD-ROM that is loaded onto a machine
with other software on it causes "conflicts" and one or another of the
CD-ROMs will not work.  This happens with some of the newer software
that will just not run on the older machines.

     We do not have any empty slots to run other CD-ROMs on them.
Right now we do not allow patrons to run CD-ROMs that come with books
we  own.  (Yes, I know that one can be popped out and another
inserted, but I know from personal experience that getting a CD-ROM to
run that has not had the software preloaded onto our machines is very
time-comsuming.)

     Just because a library has a computer does not mean that they
have CD-ROM capabilities.  Most of our computers do not have CD-ROM
ports, and there is little likelihood that the City Council will cough
up more money for new machines anytime in the near future.  Many
libraries are still using computers from the era before CD-ROM ports
were an integral part of the machine.

     Now each library system sets its own policies, so there are most
likely ones that will allow patrons to bring in their own CD-ROMs, but
many will not.  The more that a library has things networked, the less
likely it is they will allow it.

     I am not a tech person and do not own a computer so I apologize
to those that are and can say, but you can get around these things or
that explanation was not quite right.  I am not aware of any library
system in this metropolitan area that allows people to bring in their
own CD-ROMs, but since there are 8 public library systems all with
many branches in the metropolitan area, I may be wrong and somebody is
allowing it.

Subject: Papyrus

Dania,

Thank you very much for your very interesting posting about Papyrus
production. I have a small "kit" for making papyrus, but I have never dared to
try out what seems to be quite a complex (and, dare I say it?) messy process!

Since you are new to the list you may not be aware that the oldest existing
"paper"-folding is of folded papyrus.

It is a map of a gold mine in the Nubian district of Egypt and is folded just
like a modern road map. The map is now kept in the Musum in Milan, Italy. The
age of  the map is not precisely known, but it surely dates from Hellenic
times.

For anyone who is interested, the information is given, together with a
picture of the map, at the beginning of an article by Koryo Miura of Japan
explaining his own  famous map fold in the Proceedings of the First
International Meeting of Origami Science and Technology, Ferrara, Italy,
December 1989.

May I add my own warm welcome to you on joining Origami-L?

David Lister.

Grimsby, England.

The CD_ROM may not be the best solution; however, more of the targeted
audience(folders and origami buffs with some spare cash to invest in their
hobby/avocation/passion) would probably be willing to plunk down $20-30 if it
costs that much than $100 or more on a book. It's not that I have a preference
for one over the other; I'm simply looking at the cheapest way to mass-
reproduce these valuable historical resources. I wish noone to be

 I know how to make a neat paper chain that is fast and easy but it requires

Subject: Re: The Origamian (summary and suggestion?)

Perhaps I may offer my services in helping resolve this CD-ROM vs. book
debate?

>From what I've gathered of the discussion so far:
a) a CD-ROM would be cheaper and easier to produce, thanks to lots of
volunteers who could help out, and lower production (and thus sale)
costs.  Thus it could be available sooner, and at a cost more people
could afford.
b) a book requires no fancy hardware or software which people may not
have access to, and is more satisfying in some fundamental ways (I love
CD ROMS, but there IS something intrinsically more. . . immediate and
tactilely satifying about a book. . .I do so love books and paper. .
(happy sigh). . .s'cuse me. . .(drifting into reverie. . .) Sorry)  BUT
the fact remains that a print run would probably make it financially
daunting for most people.

So here's my offer.  I do book-binding.  Not professionally, mind you,
but as a hobby.  If someone comes up with a CD-ROM that can be
successfully printed, and if I get the okay from OUSA, I'd be happy to
offer my services to print out and bind (what I'm assuming will be) a
limited number of books from the CD-ROM if the would-be book buyers
wouldn't mind paying for materials.  (I.e. the buyer could pay OUSA the
cost for a CD-ROM, so they or whoever still get the royalties, and if
OUSA gave me permission to print and bind a copy, the buyer could just
pay me for materials -- basically the cost of however much paper, laser
printer toner, and the end materials -- I think I could manage the glue
and stitching costs!  :)  )

That way, those who are financially or storage-spatially challenged
(like myself) can afford the CD-ROM version, but a book version could
still be made available to those who would prefer it.  And I'd get to
practice my bookbinding skills for a good cause.

Just an idea,

Jessica  :)

This one sounds like the best idea yet! Since the pages aren't bound, the
purchaser can decide what binding method is the best for their needs.

The Origami USA Holiday Tree is in it's final touch-up stages and will be
completed today.  The actual tree lighting ceremony will take place tomorrow,
Wednesday, Nov. 25th at 11:00 a.m. at the museum.   The tree is located to the
left of the first floor lobby.  You DO NOT need to purchase an admission
ticket to see the tree!  However, if you wish to walk ALL the way around it,
you will have to buy your ticket to get pass the barrier to the entrance of
the museum.  Of course, the museum has a multitude of wonders to explore so
the price of the ticket is well worth it I think!

The free giveaway gift this year is Michael La Fosse's "Alice Gray" butterfly
which has already been beautifully boxed with colored backing and a
description sheet.  The models sent in by our origami members are exquisite
and will make wonderful gifts for those lucky to attend our tree lighting
ceremony tomorrow.  Now, here comes the real challenge:  How do we top this
NEXT year, guys?

Anyway, I do hope you have a chance to visit the museum in the next few weeks.
I don't know exact date yet as to when the tree will be dismantled -- but it
won't be until the first week of January, at least!   Your comments and
criticisms are greatly appreciated!  (Just remember that a lot of the work is
done by volunteers!)

Why not have your son fold a real origami border?  You can design it
together!  I would bet that you could get a nice solid color border to lay
down as a background, put flat origami models on it, and cover it over with a
clear background layer (I presume such things exist).  You might have to use
glue to hold the models in place on the background while you are putting the
clear cover on. ;-)  Obviously really thick models would cause a problem, but
hey, no reason you can't experiment on a small scale first and see what does
or doesn't work!  Sounds like a great project!

Subject: Re: Joyful Origami Boxes

If I understand you correctly, you wish to make the box variation on the
middle left hand side of page 73. Here's how I think you can do it.  Make
the piece from the upper right hand side of page 72, only in colors that
are reversed from those displayed.  Assemble the units so that each unit on
the left hand side slips under and into the unit on the right hand side.

Since I have no need for a box at the moment, I've assembled just 3 units
in this manner, and am content that the outcome will correspond to that of
73 (middle left).

Hope this helps!

Dear Friends,

I received the following letter from a dear friend of mine who asked for
assistance on an origami project for an unfortunate young teenager battling
cancer.  If you can offer any help it would be GREATLY appreciated!   Wouldn't
this be a nice way to start off the holiday season KNOWING you did something
to help?  As I understand it, the young fellow may not live long enough to
enjoy Christmas this year, so if you are planning to send cranes, don't
delay!!!

Dear June:

As you know last summer Paul, Susan and I visited Korea as part of a family
exchange program.  This trip was for families who had adopted children from
Korea to give them the opportunity to experience what life is like in Korea.
We shared this experience with adoptive families from various parts of the US.
I just received the following letter from one of the families that was part of
our group.

"Dear Friends:

It is with a greaat deal of sorrow that I must share our most recent news.  On
November 13 our son, Jay, age 15, was diagnosed with a new brain tumor.  Jay's
original diagnosis of Anaplastic Ependymoma brain tumor, came in june 1991,
upon which time he had surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.  He had been free
of cancer, feeling healthy for the past seven years.  We feel fortunate to
have excellent medical facilities and the best doctors available nearby - we
can help Jay feel as cofortable as possible, for as long as possible.  Please
keep us in your prayers.  And don't ever save anything for a special occasion.
Every day is a special occasion.

Terry and Gary"

June, I would like to lift the spirits of Jay and his family at this difficult
time by sending them a chain of 1000 cranes.  Could you please appeal to your
friends in the origami community to help me with this mission.  The cranes can
be sent to me as follows:

Or get two copies of one of the Convention Books, dissassemble them,
back each page with black paper to eliminate show-thru and leave you
with one set of one-sided pages, and put them up on the wall.

(Of course, being a packrat, I vote for wall-to-wall bookshelves for the

Regarding the cranes for the teenager with cancer:  Yes, the ideal size would
be 6" paper folded into cranes.  This will make the stringing and sorting MUCH
easier -- especially since there is so little time and so many (we hope!)
cranes to send.  Naturally, your choice of paper is fine (plain kami, print
chiyogami, foil, etc.)

Hi all. =20

This is a short report about our origami convention in Santiago
de Cali, Colombia.=20

ORIGAMI COLOMBIA 98

The Origamists Colombian Meeting, Origami Colombia 98 was very
successful.  This, the second edition, that had about seventy attendees,
was characterized for its dynamism and the familiarity of the
participants.  The meeting place, the National School of the Sport, at
Santiago de Cali, Colombia, is a wide place with many classrooms and
several enviroments where the origamists exchanged for three days.=20

The first day, Friday, November 13th, the attendees received with several
packages of paper and the convention button, the annual collection of
models, which was possible because the collaboration of several origamists
from United States, Hungary, France, England and Colombia. The induction
was in the main room. Everyone went to the model menu in order to choose
the models of preference and wait for the distribution of the classes.
Finally, there was a free exchange, where many people folded models for
about two hours.=20

There was an exhibition with models of Rogelio Hern=E1n Cerda from Chile,
Anibal Voyer from Spain, Jeremy Shafer from United States, Macbeth Navas
from Venezuela and a lot of folders from Colombia, such as Gonzalo Gamboa,
Alba Luc=EDa Solorza, Andr=E9s Fernando Vel=E1squez, Daniel Duarte, Jos=E9 =
Tomas
Buitrago, Constanza Castro, Ary Romero, Hip=F3lito Pab=F3n, Misae Ono, Carl=
os
Hern=E1n Matallana and Jos=E9 Arley Moreno.  Also there was models of some
children, such as Jonathan Rodr=EDguez, aged 11, and Fidel Ra=FAl L=F3pez, =
aged
12.  Between the participants there were folders from many regions of
Colombia, such as Daniel Duarte, Luz Marina Forero, Francisco Vargas,
Temilda Mill=E1n and Gonzalo Gamboa from Santaf=E9 de Bogot=E1, Misae Ono, =
also
from the same city, but would originate from Japan. From Armenia Alba
Luc=EDa Solorza participated. She is a sculptress who show some abstract
models made by folded acetates.  From Bucaramanga Jorge Ernesto Villamizar
attended. Manizales had three representatives: Andr=E9s Fernando Vel=E1sque=
z,
Jos=E9 Luis Naranjo and Luis Eduardo Bedoya. The international participatio=
n
included two countries: Venezuela with Macbeth Navas of the Venezuelan
Association of Origami, and United Statesof America with Annelore Jekel
(FL) and Mark Kennedy( PA), they were the special guests. The second day,
Saturday, November 14th, began with the selection of classes, there were
30 different classes in six classrooms, where many models, originals and
borrowed from famous folders, were taught. There were 17 teachers. Some of
them were: Andr=E9s Bravo, Carlos Arturo V=E9lez, Ary Romero, Hip=F3lito Pa=
b=F3n
and Carlos Hern=E1n Matallana. Everyone was anxious of going to the
workshops and classes. Afterhours, there was many folders who
spontaneously taught several models. At noon, Mark Kennedy gave a lecture
about folding techniques. At the last part of the schedule, Mrs. Temilda
Mill=E1n gave a conference about origami and the mind development.  The las=
t
day, Sunday, November 15th, was emphasized in origami techniques.  The
attendees selected between 25 different categories, those covered from
variations of models, passing through paper making, until models that
sounds. Mark Kennedy taught how to decorate paper and show the steps to
make jewerly. The main event of the day was the pi=F1ata. thhere were two
modulars pi=F1atas, one for the children and other for the adults. There
were many prizes and amusement. On the meeting closing, the story telling
came and Jorge Ernesto Villamizar and Luz Marina Forero told very
interesting stories. Mark Kennedy gave some of his pins. It was concluded
taking group pictures.  The meeting organizers, Jos=E9 Arley Moreno,
Constanza Castro, Gildardo Estrada and Jos=E9 Tomas Buitrago were
acknowledged for the big participation and invited to the next year. The
participants were satisfied and are waiting for the following meeting with
a lot of expectation.=20

In order to have an idea of what was the meeting,
Mark Kennedy commented: "It reminds me the Friends of Origami Center of
America, convention 1984."

Subject: A rehash-The whistle

I know there was a bit of a discussion on the list a while back of the
paper whistle from Cerceda's "Paperoflexia Facil" but I have a few
questions still.

You see, this friend of mine and I came up with a cool vision:

We play at sessions:  informal gatherings of musicians to play and have a
good time.  In my case, Celtic music.

What we picture is this:  A person walks in, carrying no instrument, but
with, perhaps, several pieces of paper (or card stock).  Greets the other
musicians, and calmly take the paper and begins folding it, as the others
begin playing.  Folds *a useful, tuned instrument* and joins in the
evening's fun.  Then, at the end of the night, crumples up the instrument
and goes home.

What I'd like is a paper pennywhistle or flute:  a wind instrument which
can play at least a full octave (Do-Re-MI-etc) which could be folded from a
single sheet.  Ability to fold one that'll be at some reference pitch would
be good also, but after getting the rest worked out, that would be trivial.

Now, the Whistle in question is very nice:  it is simple to fold, and
produced a great sound (attested to by the number of friends I have who
want to learn it!).  But it has only one tone.  I think it is possible to
poke holes in the whistle in appropriate places to make an ocarina (a
small, globular, multitone whistle).  But I'm not sure.  And it would
involve a lot of trial and (especially) error, possibly each time.   Also,
I've had less than stellar luck with making the whistle bigger, to start
from a lower tone...

Has anyone had any success at coming up with a multitone origami musical
instrument?  I'd appreciate any suggestions, before I go trying what may be
a duplicative effort on my own...

Any Thoughts, Suggestions, Comments?

I met with June this morning and scanned 14 photos of the tree. I have FTP'd
them to ftp://ftp.rug.nl/origami/.incoming/ -- I hope this was an acceptable
thing to do. The correct file is OUSATree.zip. The other file (Tree1998.zip)
aborted before the FTP finished.

I assume the file must be processed by the site before it is available.

June will also find out how to make it available on the OrigamiUSA web site.

Subject: looking for an origami book

Hi all!

Recently I've rediscovered origami as a great way to spend spare time, so I'd
     love to try some new models. The last time I bought an origami book must
     have been 1992, 'orgami for the connoisseur' I think it was called.

Anyway, I've always thoroughly enjoyed John Montroll's models, and I'm
     interested in insects, dinosaurs and mythological creatures. Does anyone
     know of a book which contains this kind of models? Preferably some very
     difficult John Montroll type of models.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. It's ok if you want to email me
     privately to prevent the other people from being spammed.

Another question: does anyone of you have any experience with Patricia Crawford
     models? She's done some models a while ago which I just can't seem to
     reproduce...

into the wrong hands. (Once the Paper was opened, it could not be
resealed without allowing extra creases to show.)"

Only David Lister answered and wrote many interesting things and:
"
I do not know where Peter Engel got his information, but I should
very much like to know his reference. Or any other reference. I look
forward
to any information that any subscriber to Origami-L can give.
"

No other subsrciber had a comment. I contacted Thoki Yenn, because I got
informations that he has Informations about this certificate folding.
He suggested me to contact Peter Engel.
I think, this is the only way, to get the informations.

Has anybody the adress or an e-mail address from Peter Engel?

regards

Torsten

Hi Dorothy,
  Could you clarify something....for $50 does a complimentary copy of
Folding California mean the video?  Also, could you tell me where you are
editing this?  My husband is an editor --freelance in Hollywood area, maybe
we could help.

I received email from Maarten van Gelder (who manages the site) saying it will
take several days to move to the appropriate collection and release because he
is in the process of reorganizing the site.

It appears you are correct.  I can access the site through both Netscape
and FTP client, but the file is "permission denied."

Subject: Origami Challenge

Hello,

I am working on a theatrical adaptation of CHARLOTTE'S WEB (as
musician/composer) and I thought it would be fun to give all the cast members
origami pieces for opening night gifts.

The animals are easy, but at one point, the Zuckermans (re-read the book!)
strike a pose that is reminiscent of the painting American Gothic. Has anyone
done an origami rendition of this? Even with seperate pieces of paper, I'd
love to see one.

And if you're in Philadelphia between Dec 5 and Jan 3..you should check out
the show! it's at the Arden theater and you can call them at 215-922-1122

I look forward to a response!
As ever,
Jay
