Dolphin:  If you invest in the Adobe Exchange 3.0 package, it will include
among others a Pspriner proggram.  This is loaded as a printer  and when
you call up the printer there are three options:  Printer,
File (postscript file), and PDF.  Printer will simply print out the file in
question.  File will create a posstscript file and store it.  PDF will
create a postscript file, which can be saved separately and the Distiller
is called to create a PDF file.  When you print you can specify multiple
pages and you will get  a mutliple page file in PDF form.  This can be read
by Adobe Exchange, which also provides thumbnail pictures of each page to
identify eaach page.  The PDF file can also be read by Acrobat Reader 3.0,
which can be downloaded for free.  In other words, the producer is asked to
pay for the programs, and the user is allowed free use of the product.
This works for the Macintosh version.   I hope this is helpful.  James M.

Subject: Fwd: Re: Dividing a Square in Thirds (Answer to Riff)

I suppose many folders have hit on this solution to produce numerous
modules for a single construction (when thirds are required) .
I take as large a square as I can comfortably handle (usually about
fifteen inches) and divide it in thirds by eye. Then I gently crease the
diagonals, just folding lightly where they inesect with the verticals.
When  I fold along the intersections I now have thirds in both
directions.  I am really retarded in math
and I am not actually doing this as I write but I believe this yeilds
nine squares divided in thirds. By simply dividing one of these squares
in half both ways , i get four smaller squares divided in thirds
,yeilding
thirty-six (I think),and so on.
The many math wizards on this list probably consider this so self evidet
as to be ludicrous,but it sure took a lot of the frustration out of
making 1/3 modules for me.
Chuckle away and happy folding.

Greetings Origami friends:

Thanks to some list members, chat room friends and my origami club, I only
need 225 more cranes and
my husband is getting stronger and finally putting back some of the weight
he lost.  He had a really
good day yesterday and was able to get out and walk with me on a nearby

the car wash.  The weather has been very mild in CT and we've even sat out
on our deck afternoon sun.

I'll be stringing the cranes and putting them up soon and then I'll post

Subject: Kawasaki rose and mounting

Hi everyone,

I finally caught up to my email, and I noticed that someone else was
trying to mount Kawasaki's rose.

I have mounted both of Kawasaki's roses on wire stem. I was taught how
to do it by Irene Yeh, currently residing in New Haven CT. We usually
make a loop with the end of the wire, and then twist the loop so that
the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the wire. The loop should be
made so that if you placed the end of the wire underneath one of the
flaps of the bottom of the "old" Kawasaki rose, you can twist the wire
and the loop will burrow itself into the rose. This isn't the best
description, but I'm sure if you fool around with it you can figure
out what I mean to say. Like a corkscrew.

We then use a calyx to apply pressure from the bottom and to hold the
rose tight against the loop. I've found that if the wire doesn't
originate downward from the center of the loop that the loop will be
off-center in the rose and the pressure from the calyx will tilt it.
Also, if the loop is not flat enough the rose will tend to tilt on its
mount, also. You can use Joseph Wu's rose base as the calyx. I
unfortunately have to puncture the calyx to put it on the wire.

The leaf was a kite base with the shorter end narrowed to make a stem.
Then we pleated it. It's not really a  "rosey" leaf.

I use a "Tea Rose" alcohol-based fragrance to give the flower scent.
Of course it doesn't last, but when I'm giving it to someone it's
certainly there when they receive it. I've tried oil-based fragrances,
but they've invariably stain the paper in unattractive ways.

The paper for the rose, by the way, is copy paper.

I used the same technique for the new Kawasaki rose, and it's worked
well. I changed the leaves to be more rose-like, with three or five
small leaves mounted on branches. It uses a lot more floral tape, but
I think it's worth it.

I'd love to use a paper stem, but I haven't figured out a way yet.

Subject: Favorite Origami Moments (LONG)

Katherine J. Meyer writes:

Tell me your Favorite Origami moment.
____________________________________________

I don't have a specific favorite origami moment... It's all good.

I will share a few of my favorite moments... which, upon reflection, reminds
me that origami is much more than a piece of folded paper.

My first origami book was Montroll's "Animal Origami for the Enthusiast"...
purchased circa 1989.  I have always been "artistic" and have been inclined to
dabble in different media... and the book "looked interesting." However, it
lay on a shelf for over a year... untouched... when a friend's birthday was
fast approaching and I was broke as usual. So, I got bright idea that I could
"whip something up for her on the fly..."

Well, her birthday came and went....    with no origami tyrranosaurus...
Needless to say,  this "paperfolding stuff" was harder...MUCH HARDER than it
had appeared.

After a few weeks and a whole package of origami paper, i managed to eek out
something that slightly resembled a t. rex.. and it even STOOD!  I was
HOOKED!... and dove immediately into the brontosaurus.

Montroll's books seemed to be the only origami books readily available in my
area.. (Corpus Christi, Texas)... so I purchased more of his books.. and
folded and folded and folded... and years went by. I didn't find anyone else
to share my newfound lust for this "paper stuff."

I was frustrated... I knew there was more to it than just making paper
critters and giving them away...I knew ther had to be others like me.  I
wanted to meet others who had discovered this amazing therapy.  I found, in
the back of a Dover publication, the address of the "FRIENDS of ORIGAMI" ..
and subscribed.  I eagerly awaited each publication... (back then, I had no
problem getting my newsletters... unlike now) and read  each newsletter cover
to cover... over and over... and continued to fold and fold... and few more
years went by.

I still couldn't find anyone who folded so I broke down ...and decided I would
give this  Michael La Fosse guy a call (whose address and phone number was
listed in the FRIENDS newsletter.) I needed to talk with someone who
understood my zeal for origami... I had no idea who La Fosse was, but I
quickly surmized that he was surely a dedicated folder and true enthusiast...
We talked for hours that night.  I had a thousand questions.. and he had
answers... questions on the Kanomado...etc...  I had indeed called the right
person.  I knew at that moment when I hung up the phone that I was NOT
insane... at least no more insane than this other guy who folded paper... I
did not sleep that night, but folded til sun up.

I never called Mr. LaFosse again, but his encouragement and kind words carried
me through more years of folding in solitude.

After having relocated to San Antonio to continue my studies a couple of years
ago,  I discovered ORIGAMI-L.  This discovery was INDEED one of my favorite
origami moments.  There were dozens of us "origami freaks" exchanging rich
information about origami... It was AWESOME!.

I have since met many new origami friends online and have built strong bonds
with fellow folders...  By and large, you people are GREAT!

I have many more favorite origami moments to share (Like when I actually met
Michael La Fosse)... maybe another time.

Hasta Luego,

Russell Sutherland : )

Hi Matthias,

If your show is anything like "Folding California" made by Dorothy Engleman,
known to the list as Dorigami, it
will be really good.  I don't remember seeing your name as a contributor on
that video, but there were too many names to remember.  I wish I could see
your 7 min. on tv too.  My husband and I were in the Swiss Alps
in 1973.  We were there visiting my Swiss pen pal before she was married.
It was a great trip!

Not so, but easy to confuse.

We have two Dorothys on the Origami List. Dorothy Engleman produced the highly

who is also a productive paperfolder, being the author of "Money Rose" and
having hosted a cable television craft program for many years.

It was also my first book, about thirty years ago I purchased ten copies

Subject: That Kawasaki rose, again

I just received my January edition British Origami, and having taught a
class on Toshikazu Kawasaki's New Rose a few days ago, I was interested
to see the review of his book, "Rose, Origami and Mathematics."

I was able to borrow the book before my class, and I was impressed with
the logical, organic nature of Kawasaki's folding sequence for the New
Rose, and the beauty and clarity of his diagrams. However, I taught
something closer to Joseph Wu's sequence, as diagrammed by Winson Chan in
the .pdf archive, because it is more precise due to the extra pre-folding.

In any case, the reviewer, Dave Mitchell, mentions another Kawasaki rose,
not in the book, the "latest version with the small butterfly locks." I
wonder if anyone has more information on this model.

Dave Mitchell, I assume the same one, is on the origami list, so perhaps
he, or someone else can answer my question. I thought the reply might be
of general interest, so I did not mail this query privately.

One more word about "Rose, Origami and Mathematics": the person whose
copy I borrowed said, "One copy of this book in Minnesota is enough." I
think that's right. Because of the price ($42), I wouldn't put the book
on the top of my wish list unless I really liked miniature pre-fab
housing (the majority of the diagrams), or read Japanese, and was
interested in the mathematical material. But the rose diagrams are
superb, and I may find myself buying the book in a weak moment, in spite
of myself.

Subject: Closed-sink fold

Dear origami savants,

I'm trying to fold the elephant that appears in
Peter Engel's wonderful "Origami from Angelfish
to Zen."  At this point, I'm stuck in Step 20
of the instructions, which, as Engel acknowled-
ges, is a "very difficult step."  The step is
particularly difficult because the "after" dia-
gram looks exactly the same as the "before"
diagram, and because it involves a closed-sink
fold.  Engel does explain how to do this, and I
worked through his example (the diagrams here
are not very helpful either; this is a rarity
in Engel's book); but alas, the "before" dia-
gram in the example looks nothing like the
corresponding one in the instructions for the
elephant.

Does anybody know what I'm supposed to do
here?  Engel says that tweezers are neces-
sary for this step; I have never used twee-
zers, but have a pair ready in case somebody
tells me how to proceed--or refers me to bet-
ter examples of closed-sink folds in the lit-
erature.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, the show is over, and although I didn't have any preparation time
(the inverview was live), all in all I guess it was quite OK. The
interviewer asked the most stupid questions imaginable, and I gave the
fitting stupid answers. Wish I were as witty as Wilde!

Those were the most frantic 7 minutes of my whole life. If I didn't have
the video, I wouldn't know what I did or said. Well, at least the
origami I brought looked very nice and professional on TV, and that's
the main thing for me.

Below is the list of models I showed. All were folded by myself. I had
lots of help with the Demon, which Sebastian showed me how to fold on
last year's Origami Deutschland meeting.

-Astronaut and rocket, by Kasahara. The astronaut folded from white
pearl color shine  star paper looked awesome
-Simple traditional butterflies, folded from colourful origami paper
-Coyote, by John Montroll, wet-folded from heavy Canson paper
-Traditional crane, folded from momigami
-Demon, by J. Maekawa. Folded from laminated mulberry paper. Thanks for
the help,  Sebastian!
-Spiral wave, folded from marbled A2-size paper. The largest piece.
Awesome!
-Hummingbirds, by P. Engel. A true eye-catcher when the camera zoomed in
-Modular cube, by Tomoko Fuse
-Mushroom, by Vincent Floderer. I almost took a bite, it looked so real.
-Matt3000, airplane
-Little Nicki, airplane by Nick Robinson
-Panda and Parrot, by K. Kasahara
-Parrot, by A. Yoshizawa, folded from colourful 'Clear Harmony' paper-
I'm just glad Mr. Yoshizawa didn't  see it ;-)
-Rabbit, by Dave Brill, wet-folded from heavy Canson paper. Easter
coming up and all
-Spiral seashell, folded from hand-made paper with marble dust.
Glittered beautifully!
-Standing star box, folded from patterned chiyogami
-Talking crow, by Makoto Yemaguchi. I glued on some eyes, and that
really made it much   livelier. Almost couldn't make it shut up
-Twisted windmill box
-Witch, by Kasahara

All in all, quite a cross-section of Origami. Those 6 models without a
creator reference are my own designs. Maybe I'll even get around to
diagramming them someday.
I hope you all don't mind my long post.
What I learned from this experience is to either insist on sufficient
preparation time (test-runs before you go live), or recording the show
instead of going live, and knowing ALL the stupid questions in advance.

As I understand the transliteration of the Japanese chraracters of the title,
its name was "Nihon no Kokoro Dento Origami" and that this means "Heart of
Japan, Traditional Origami".

The original full English Version appered in 1965, but the Japanese version
not until 1969, the publisher being Nichibo Huppan sha of Tokyo. At the time
of publiction, the price was 3200 Yen.

The Japanese version, like the English is hard-bound, with the same page-size
and it has 263 pages, one page less than the English version.

I was able to inspect a copy of Nihon no Kokoro Dento Origami when one came
into the British Origami Society library with the Ev Gloe collection last
year. While much of the contents are the same as in the English edition, the
two versions are by no means identical. There are  considerable different
additions, not in the English version and with the re-arrangement of material,
the Japanese version is at first sight a different book.

Most of Isao Honda's books about origami were published in English, with only
about four or five in Japanese. This one is by far the largest of them.

APERECIADO JUAN

in step 19 the left layer twist over de right one, and when you close
the flap in 20 there are two layers at the right hand. Yu must sink only
the first layer into the model at the left.
Th step 20 and 21 looks similar because in the 20 there are two layers
at the right. When you sink the first, there are other layer in the same
position but behind.
Is important for understand this, look the  step 22 because you repeat
the same closed sink at the right and then the two triangular layers are
into the model.

sorry for my bad english, if you don't understand nothing, and you are
spanish, email me privately and I try to explain again.

There is one in Kunihiko Kasahara's "Creative Origami".
Unfortunately I don't have the book within close reach,
but, as far as I can remember, the model uses one square,
is full-bodied, and, as Kasahara says, can double as an

I have seen a little origami frog in Wim Wenders' "Der Himmel ber Berlin".

It was in the scene shot in Berlin's library. There was a girl reading and
the angel looked over her shoulder.
The frog is visible only a second or two, on the table near a big book and
a pencil.

It resembles the simplest frog model of A. Yoshizawa I found in "Origami
Hakubutsushi 1 - Dobutsu no iro iro" (1979) (original title, I have the
italian version). Is there someone who can tell me that I was not

Ria Sutter mentioned a certain loathing for sink folds.  I'm not crazy
about them, but there is a good "make yourself learn how to sink-fold"
piece in one of the Biddle books (I think it's in NEW ORIGAMI, though it
might be in ESSENTIAL ORIGAMI).  It's a flower model that requires a
plethora of sink folds, and takes you through the steps as gently as
possible.

I sometimes find that it sometimes helps to push the sink into place
using the pointy part of a pen cap.  Our office buys boxes of cheap
Papermate-brand "stick" pens whose caps have an end that is pointy
without being sharp.

Good luck!

I think that this is the problem.  I had exactly the same

There are two kinds of problems:

1) HTML FORMATTING - This is undesirable and annoying, as it produces
useless attachments which waste time and disk space (remember that HTML was

Menu TOOLS-->OPTIONS-->SEND. Enable "Plain text" for "Mail sending format"
and "News sending format". Disable "Reply to messages using the format in
which they were sent".

More info's on this website:

2) INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS - If you format (intentionally or by mistake)
your text using foreign or odd characters, Outlook will use the
International character set which will convert some characters to an
unreadable mess like this:

?utf-7?B?VEhPUktJTEQgUytBTmctTkRFUkcrQU1VLVJE?=

I posted a message a few days ago asking Dave Mitchell which Kawasaki
rose he referred to when he mentioned "the version with the small
butterfly locks." Apparently it is the same one that I refer to as the
New Rose, the one Winson Chan diagramed.

Contrary to what Dave said in his review, this rose does appear in "Rose,
Origami and Mathematics"  (pp. 109-115). The folding sequence is so
different from Winson Chan's, that it is almost impossible to understand
that it is precisely the same model without comparing the finished
products or opening up the models and comparing creases.

Thanks, Dave for puzzling you way through the book and writing the
review, and for answering my question. Was "butterfly locks" a
spontaneous invention, or is it a known term I have not encountered?

To conclude, there seem to be three published Kawasaki roses (I was
hoping there were four!):
1. The one in Origami for the Connoisseur, which has a 4x4 grid
(subdivided at the center) parallel to the paper's edges.
2. The "New Rose," mentioned above, which has a 20x20 grid at a 22
1/2-degree angle to the paper's edges. This is published in Kawasaki's
book, the pdf archive (Winson Chan) and an issue of ORU, which I have not
examined.
3. The rose with attached calyx that utilizes the color of the reverse of
the paper. This has an 8x8 grid parallel to the paper's edges. It appears
in Kawasaki's book, and possibly, according to the OUSA model list, in
"La Era Nueva" by Kunihiko Kasahara.

Agreed.  Personally, I think Winson's diagrams, despite the one bug, are
easier to follow.

Yeah, me too!

This also appeared in an issue of the NOA magazine (June, either '96, or '97).
The NOA diagrams have a lot more precreasing, and show a method of doing the
twist which is a LOT easier to do, but it does require the diagonal creases to
be through the central square.  In practice, for this model, that hasn't made
anything any harder.  The only precreasing these diagrams don't have is for
the lock at the very end.  With all the precreasing, the collapse is very easy
to do.  I can do one of these models in 15-20 minutes with the precrease
method.  (And I'm not as fast a folder as Joseph or some others that I've
seen).

Hmmm, I don't recall seeing a rose in ORU.. If you find it before me, let me

Checking the archive at (http://www-japan.mit.edu/origami) and searching for
"Rose" in the past two months, the following is excerpted from a message by
Jane Rosemarin on 19 Feb 1999:

       One more word about "Rose, Origami and Mathematics": the person whose
       copy I borrowed said, "One copy of this book in Minnesota is enough." I
       think that's right. Because of the price ($42), I wouldn't put the book
       on the top of my wish list unless I really liked miniature pre-fab
       housing (the majority of the diagrams), or read Japanese, and was
       interested in the mathematical material. But the rose diagrams are
       superb, and I may find myself buying the book in a weak moment, in
spite
       of myself.

I would second Jane's and David's (not quoted here) comments about the
cost/benefit ratio of this book.  Its a pretty pricey book for just one
model.  Of the big three online origami stores:
        Origami USA (http://www.origami-usa.org/)
        Fascinating Folds (http://www.fascinating-folds.com/)
        Kim's Crane (http://www.kimscrane.com/)
only Fascinating Folds seems to be carrying it.  I think Sasuga
(http://www.sasugabooks.com/), might have it, but ever since they went to
their new web site, I've not had good luck figuring out what they actually
have versus what they say on their web site that they have.

If this is the model I believe it to be, then the book is still in print in
the UK (and probably also in the USA), under the title of "Teach Yourself
Origami". In which case, making and exchanging copies of diagrams would seem
to be against copyright. The book is not expensive, and is widely available
in the UK.

>Sink folds are still difficult for me to do

Don't worry - it's a common problem. I find it easiest to open the paper
out as much as possible, then carefully pinch the edge creases into
mountains before closing again. If your creasing was sharp & accurate to
start with, it should "pop" in without too much trouble. The less the
paper opens out, the harder it gets, culminating in the dreaded black-
belt closed-sink.

Try practising with a waterbomb base and doing multiple "in-out" sinks.

all the best,

Nick Robinson

Is the current Acrobat Reader version 3.0 in use?

Mac user, website: Fabric Origami which uses 50 sets of PDF diagrams.  Try
Netscape on those.  If you have 3.0, there won't be any problem.

I believe I am the one he speaks of.  I do use Outlook Express as my Email
Client.  I am, unfortunately, unable to switch to plane text format.  I do a
bulk email daily for an organization I belong to.  I send it in HTML Format.
Switching back and forth is a head ache since I also have to reply back to
people's questions in this group, in HTML format.

Sorry for the headache of extra junk in the email.

John

That's odd. I was under the distinct impression that vol. 1 was still in
print,
perhaps under a different title, as a paperback, and volumes 2, 3, and 4
have been long out of print.

Anyone know for sure?
