Hello to the groups

I received this request today and because it came to me through my
esent( April 13-29 ) tour of Germany and Holland performing Origami and
String Figures( No I did not do any Busking, I didn't want to steal any of
Jeremy Shafer's audience, I did look for him in Amsterdam), plus a
reproduction of my 1000 crane mobile for the Munchen-Schwabing Children's
Hospital 100 year anniversary in Munich I thought that I would submit it to
both lists. The mobile can be seen on Fascinating Folds page

( http://www.fascinating-folds.com/welcome.htm ) under Origami Land and
scroll to Munich Airport Exhibit (1/2 way down). A portion of that display
was also set up by Susanna Wellenberg and friends in the foyer of the
hospital. For more info on this project contact:

Markus.Fischacher@kms.mhn.de at the hospital

or

SusannaWellenberg@compuserve.com

I would like to thank Marcus and Susanna for organizing this very well run
and personally satisfying event. This mobile is a reproduction of one that I
did in Wurzburg Germany in 1997. I have added the theme for the 1,000 crane
mobile at the end for those of you who maybe interested. This theme and
mobile has been recreated more than 75 times since 1986 in Canada, United
States, and Germany.

Now for the non origami and string figure request.

This is the couple that my wife, Lia and I stayed with for the week while in
Holland.

1,000 Crane Theme

Germany'97

CREATING A BALANCE

Inspired by the book "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes"

author: Eleanor Coerr

The crane in the Japanese culture is a symbol of Peace, Good Health, and
Happiness. Legend has it, that if you wish upon the Golden crane and fold
1,000 cranes your wish or prayer will be answered.

In the times that we live, every day human conflict spreads and grows more
severe, the environment becomes more threatened. There is an overwhelming
need to establish harmony in our world. We have to "Create A Balance".

This mobile was created for Origami Deutschland as a celebration of this
legend.

by the staff and children of

-Victoria Albert 110 Ellen R3A 1A1 Wpg

-Manitoba Youth Centre 170 Doncaster R3N 1X9 Wpg

Plus many other Origami societies and individuals around the Origami world.

The White, Yellow, Red, Black cranes were adapted from a 1,000 crane mobile
created in 1992 as 1 of 10 for the Winnipeg International Children's
Festival 10th anniversary and tribute to children's entertainer Winston
Wuttunee by Children of the Earth School. They represent the North, East,
West, and South. These pieces of this mobile were created for FOLKORAMA'95
as a celebration of Manitoba's 125th Birthday and Earthday's 25th Birthday
and was flown on Aug. 5/95 on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the
dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, by the staff and children of:

Folkorama Picnic with Bob Frayer and Family co-ordinating, March for Peace
Rally, Winnipeg Folk Festival Family Area, Manitoba Youth Centre, MacDonald
Youth Services, Winnipeg boys and girls club, St. Boniface Children's Place,
St. Amant Centre, Winnipeg Children's Hospital.

The many colored cranes were chosen to represent all the people of the
earth. International Origami Paper from International Peace Crane to
symbolize the peace wish, the three levels represent the Air, Land and
Water. The mobile to represent "Creating A Balance".

With our world and environment in ever increasing chaos and conflict we have
folded these cranes as a symbol of our prayer, that through events such as
this, that all the peoples of the world will try to "Create A Balance" so we
all may enjoy " PEACE, GOOD HEALTH, and HAPPINESS".

Here flies 1,000 CRANES as a gentle reminder for all to do their part in
"CREATING A BALANCE".

Three weeks ago, when I was on vacation Imitaz Razvi asked:

>Has anyone got suggestions on how to make the models stand
>temporarily not permanently ?

I was staring at a origami model on my desk and thinking that I should
reply with what I guess is a good idea, however obvious, however late:

Take an ordinary paper clip. Hold it with the double loops facing up.
Then fold the single loop at the bottom (two wires) forward at a
90-degree angle. You can then clip this stand to the back of your model
(or to a foot of an animal, for example), and the model will remain
standing for as long as you wish.

Subject: A Crackerjack Idea?

I admit it--I had Crackerjacks for breakfast.  Candy-coated popcorn,
peanuts and a prize.

What junky prizes they give nowadays!  When I was in first grade they
used to give tiny "pinball machines," "monster ears," and cool tattoos
(the kind where you lick the back of your hand, then hold the transfer
over it for a minute to cause the magical transformation). Now you get
stuff like a "ring" that is nothing more than a little strip of paper
that you punch out from a larger bit of paper, with a slots to match up
to hold it together.

Wouldn't it be cool if Crackerjacks gave a sheet of origami paper and
instructions for folding a model?  They could be the official snack food
of the '99 OUSA Convention!  They could start a fad, like gum wrapper
chains!  They could give information on websites and where to send peace
cranes!

See what happens when you have sugar for breakfast?

Subject: Origami Sighting...and Hearing

Hi All -

        A couple of recent appearances of origami in various media:

A new song by a group called "Deep 6" (I think; can't recall the song name)
contains the lyrics "Or am I origami/somethingsomethingsomethingsomething"
(the last part fairly unintelligible).  Not a great song in my book, but
the lyrics caught my ear over the din I usually work in...

The second issue of the comic book "Aria" features a peculiar hermit-like
wizard who, while being approached by the main characters, is seen
_blindfolded_ folding a tiny crane, complete with wings and legs.  The
model also appears to have tiny tears at the trailing edge of the wing to
imply feathers, so it's not a purist model.

Subject: Origami & Food

Hello all!!!
    Early on in my cheffing years, when I was young, bold, and whimsical
(I'm no longer very young or at all bold) I took to folding large tortillas
into cranes. I built a mesh form to hold said cranes while they were fried
into a stiff sculpture that stood on its own, rather than flopping about as
a raw tortilla would. By punching in the top of the model and putting in
beans and guacamole atop lettuce and finely diced tomatoes, I had a fairly
attractive tortilla salad, that never failed to attract comments for the
short time that I ran the item (it was a ton of effort, and when busy, we
had problems preparing it also; waitrons are not always as delicate as the
dish required them to be) The diner was to use the body, wings and head of
the bird, snapping off bits to dip into the goodies that were contained in
its back. If anybody else has any good origami, food related anecdotes, I'd
love to hear them, as I'm hoping to throw together an art/cook book (Playing
with Your Food, perhaps) for a friend who is thinking of retiring. All the
best to all y'all-c

That sounds like a great idea (and yes, very labor intensive).

I invited some folding buddies over for brunch once & to keep the "folding"
theme I made crepes folded in half, then in half the other way.  The
resulting pocket was filled with Greuyer (?) Cheese then the whole piece was
dipped in egg & bread crumbs and fried until they were browned & the cheese
was melted.  They were garnished with berries, although orange slices work
nicely also.

Pretty napkin folds complete the theme.

Subject: _Tyrannosaurus_ Diagrams Up!

Hi All -

        Thanks to the many kind people on the list who wrote with advice
and offers for converting and posting the diagrams for my new
_Tyrannosaurus_ model I mentioned here a few days ago.  I'm please to
announce that both John Marcolina and Alex Barber have put the diagrams on
their sites.  At John's, it's:

http://www.employees.org/~jmarcoli/pdf/Tyrannosaurus.pdf

and at Alex's, it's:

http://www.the-village.com/origami/pdf/tyrannosaurus.pdf

The diagrams, of course, are in PDF format; those of you who haven't
already will need to visit Adobe's website:

http://www.adobe.com

to download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (well worth the download time)!

        As I mentioned previously, I'm especially interested in feedback
about the diagramming style and clarity -- recommendations for changes,
added steps, etc. would be very helpful for me to enhance my diagramming
techniques for maximum clarity.  Alex has classified the model as
"Complex," which is around where I'd put it, but I'd like the opinion of
folders who don't regularly tackle complex models, too.  (Familiarity with
origami lingo and standard moves like "petal fold," "spread-squash," and
"rabbit ear" are required, though.)  Thanks in advance for all comments,
and a special "THANK YOU!" to John and Alex for their web space!  Enjoy!

package for the OUSA convention.  She stated that unless the registration
form is postmarked by 10 May, it will cost more to attend the convention.  I
have not received my package yet and unless I receive my package by tomorrow
there is no way I can get a postmark on it by 10 May. It is a struggle just
to get my package turned around in hopes of getting a small number for
classes, then have the package arrive past the cut-off date for the reduced
cost.  Is this another form of punishment for those of us on the west coast
by those in New York?  It seems that every year the packages are getting out
later and later, and we on the west coast are penalized the worse.

Allan Perry have you gotten your registration package yet?

Subject: Re: Dispalying models

Hi Jane!

Your paperclip suggestion brought back memories of displaying two
hundred and fifty models during my Folding California shoot.

The most versatile and frequently used substance I employed during the
shoot was a white putty called UHU Hold It. It was an absolute godsend!
It held models perfectly in place and never left a greasy residue on the
paper. I also used a discreet amount of the putty to hold folds in place
and to hold down the corners of the artisan paper covering the table.

Getting the proper angle to prop up  models proved to be a substantial
and time-consuming challenge. I fashioned various sized stands from
medium weight paper and I also used a 4" flexible metal stand. My
all-time favorite was aluminum foil, which could be manipulated into any
size and shaped stand.  For further stability, I usually applied a small
amount of putty to both ends of the stand before I attached it to the
model and the table.

A couple of weeks ago(I'm a bit behind) Penn & Teller had as a guestay
Watson, an elderly comedian from the beginnings of commercial television. His
entire routine was based on the metamorphosis of the folded newspaper hat. I
know someone on the List knows who originated this story, but can't remember
who.

At any rate, I don't even remember the narrative; we were so enthralled with
waiting to see what the hat would turn into at every change we forgot to
listen.

Subject: Origami Sighting (Comics)

Speaking of Origami in comics, the DC/Vertigo series "The Invisibles"
features origami, primarily in series 2/issue 5, but mentioned elsewhere.
Basically, a young Japanese inventor discovers how to build a time machine,
inspired by an elaborate piece of origami passed down through his family
from his great-grandfather.  Later, he discovers that he himself originally
sent the figure back through time to his great-grandfater, so that the
figure would be passed down through his family.

It's a really interesting-looking model, I'd be impressed if someone could
figure out how to actually fold it.

A few years ago I found a wonderfull book in a Kluts catalog called

the book has some classic designs and some weird, and has one a of your
creations in it, the one for Best Origami/nonprofessional.
Congradulations, on making a very breathtaking design.
Your design in that book is great, It's like a flying mosquito but very sleek

I folded it once, and I still have it, folded up safe in the book!!  It

If you have more diagrams and not just of flying ones, I'd love to foldem.

I have a surprise for both Clare and Doris:  I have found it possible to
fold a flapping bird which looks exactly like the traditional sitting crane
(called Orizuru by the Japanese).  I pondered on the problem of folding an
attractive crane which can also flap its wing back in 1978, and came up
with the solution to start out with a frog base.  This narrows the body a
bit, but not enough to be noticeable.  When the frog base is folded the
four short flaps should be tucked under.  Then two flaps, front and back
are pulled up as far as they will go to form the neck and tail.  In pulling
up the flaps they should be fully st retched, which requires extra folds.
Pulling apart the bottom and the top half apart should do the tridk.  The
result should be about the same as having the bird base with two flaps
lifted up, as one would for the Oorizuru.  Narrow the stretched flaps to
form the narrowed neck and tail.  If you don/t know how to fold the
traditioan crane you should look up directions for it.  That also goes for
the frog base.  Finish the crane as one would the traditionl crane.  The
pull on the tail pulled down to almost a horizontal position.  Initially
there can be resistance to flapping the wings.  It helps if the wings are
bent down at an angle starting where the wings meet the neck.
     It is possible to fool people into believing that you have the
traditioal crane by shaping it properly.  Then start pulling on the tail .
Have fun.  James M. Sakoda

Dear Tim,  I'm glad that you liked the design of the SST.  It won the
origami design prize and did not have to undergo any flying test.  Time
Magazine reported that it was "unflightworthy", but it does fly well when
poperly adjusted.  There are a few variations in the newly reprinted
edition (by Dover Publications) of Modern Origami.  One thing I found out
that closing the top to make it more attractive actualy rediced the amount
of lift, and serves as a lesson in the dynamics of airplane flight.  If you
are unable to get hold of a copy of Modern Origami I can send you you by
prioriy mail an autographed copy  if you send me a check for $13  to 411
County Road, B arrington, RI 02806-2423.  Thanks again for writing.  James

Can someone direct me to a site online that tells about the convention that
is being talked about?  Thanks for any help on this.  I know it's pretty
unlikely that I could make it, but I'd like to know the details so I can
see if there's any chance at all.

BTW, I'm seeing origami books at more places than I used to--there were
some at a table featuring various crafts at the Marcon in Columbus, Ohio
this weekend.

Kettir-

The Origami USA Convention 1999 is in New York City, June 25 - 27, at the
Fashion Institute of Technology.  Registration packets just went out.  You
need to be a member of OUSA to attend but you can join now &b still attend.
Try e-mailing OUSA at Origami-USA.org for more information.  They have
"inexpensive" safe housing available right in the FIT dorms and can even
place you with an origami roommate if you want one.  It's a lot of fun.  If
you can't make it this year, try to plan for next year.

Where do you live?  Maybe there is a local OUSA group in your area!

Hello, everybody.

A few days ago this was written :

> * Input word of choice:  origamian, origamiist, paper folder,
masochist...

This is the pretext for introducing what follow :
I don't think the melting of origami- (written from japanese pronunciation)
and -an or -ist (english termination) is correct. Let be purists (-:

I'm not an expert in Japanese, but as far as I know, someone who practise
judo is called a judoKA, if you practise karate, you're a karateKA [OK, for
sumo, you're a sumo... The exception confirms the rule (?)]

So, here is my question to all of you who speak japanese :

Shouldn't a person who fold paper (in a japanese way) be named "ORIGAMIKA"
rather than origamist ?

Sorry if my english is as bad as my japanese...

        Ciao Lorenzo,

    No, there is no such page.   As far as I know, the MFPP does not have
any internet page.

    I don't have the information about the paris Convention right here, but
I'll post it this evening when I get home.

    All I can tell you is that the paris convention is from Thursday 13th to
Sunday 16th, and it's at the close suburbs of Paris.  There is a metro
(subway) to get there).

        I don not know about where

Subject: gum wrapper chains     instructions

For all of you on the list interested in gum wrapper chains (I think it
was discussed a few months ago)

These are traditionally made from the paper wrapper (not foil wrapper)
from a long stick of gum - like wrigley's.  Figuring this out and
writing the instructions took much longer than I anticipated - plus I
had to search the house for a wrapper to test them.  For those of you
without wrappers around, a wrapper is about 2-1/16" x 2-11/16"  (you can
make it 2" x 2-3/4) and is about kami weight, thinner than photocopy
paper.

Open the paper wrapper and crease it in half parallel to the fold lines
created when wrapping the gum.  Carefully rip along the fold line (be
sure to rip, not cut; this is chewing gum origami!).  You are creating a
rectangle (from the above dimensions) 1-1/32" x 2-11/16" (or 1" x
2-3/4").

Place the half-wrapper color side down and crease it in half again (book
crease) parallel to the line you just ripped.

Open flat and fold parallel edges to the crease you just made (cupboard
fold).

Close center crease so your paper is folded in quarters, with raw edges
inside.

Crease center line perpendicular to the folds you just made.

Fold raw edges to center line (cupboard fold again).

Fold center crease.

You now have a rectangle with two prongs/two pockets (sort-of in a 3D
sense), that is 1:2+ (one to more than 2).

Take a second wrapper piece folded the same way, and insert its prongs
into the pockets, forming a right angle.  One edge/point of the center
fold of the second piece should touch the points of the prongs, not the
center fold of the first piece.  Take a third piece and insert it into
the second piece, starting so it is parallel and adjacent to the first
piece.  It looks something like a Z with right angles.  The third piece
locks the second piece in place.  Continue ...  You will be forming a
zig-zag chain. /\/\/\  It is easier, but not necessary to orient the
pockets so you are inserting the prongs between the fewest folds.

If you need a physical example, just send me some gum wrappers and a
SASE ... ;-) .....
