Subject: NO: Help with Internationally themed Christmas project-ooops

Sorry I hit enter to return to left margin and it sent mail.

I am involved in a project called Festival of Trees.  I decorate a tree with
a theme which is then auctioned off.  The proceeds go to a scholarship serve
and learn program.  High school juniors put in 200 hours of community
service, maintain good grades and keep a journal of their experiences.  When
they
graduate, the Festival gives them $1,000 for college.

My first tree was an Origami tree.  It sold for $425.  Last year the theme
was the Scents of Christmas.  It sold for $475.  This year my theme is It's a
Small World.  I wrote to all the countries of the world (184 of them) and
requested a small flag from their country, a picture of their "Native Dress"
and an inexpensive ornament for the tree which would not be returned as it
would be auctioned off on the tree.

Here's how I need your help.

I've had only mild respond from the embassies.  Would you consider either
donating a nonreturnable inexpensive ornament which depicts your country or
postcards showing such things as landmarks or native dress or a small flag
(approx. 3X5in [7X13cm]).

In return I will send you a picture of the finished tree and a copy of the
description which will list you as a donor.

I know this has nothing to do with origami but it is a wonderful program.  I
hope you will consider helping me.

Sort of. Jeremy Shaffer has a Wanning Moon which cycles through the cycles
of the moon. 1/4, 1/2, full, etc... I guess if folded from black/yellow

Hello,

        I hate to spoil the illusion but although the model is indeed very
elegant, isn't the story of Leda and the Swan simply that the Swan was
Zeus in disguise looking to seduce (he says euphemistically!) Leda. For
those still reading, Leda later laid an egg from which hatched Helen of
Troy. These Greek Myths are twisted!

                                        Dennis

It's a bit more complicated than that... Zeus did seduce Leda in the shape
of a swan, but she actually laid four eggs, which gave birth to two pairs
of twins: 2 boys, Castor and Pollux (the Twins in the Zodiac), and 2 girls,
Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. To simplify it all, two of the children
were divine, one boy (I've forgotten which) and one girl, Helen, while the
other two were mortal. The girls later married two brothers: Helen married
Menelaus (before eloping to Troy with Paris) and Clytemnestra married
Agamemnon, who later led the Greeks to besiege Troy and get back Helen from
Paris.
This is a pretty complicated story, so anyone wanting to know more is
invited to brush up his/her classics!

David,

Are you referring to my website:  "NEW STUFF"

http://lonestar.utsa.edu/dcamaril/INDEX.HTM

http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/paperwonders/

or perhaps you were commenting on the two recent pics of Albertino's Hippo
and Rhino models.

At any rate, I find that the "sculptability" of a particular model lies
within the confines of its basic design as well as the type of paper and
technique used to fold it.... Some models lend themselves more to rounding
than others.  I try to foresee the finished model as I am folding... and
anticipate the shaping in advance.  There is a point in the process of the
model which the folding goes "3D." Some models are very difficult to
"dimensionalize", but others shape well...

I would recommend that you not limit yourself to a particular creator, paper,
or folding technique.  Try folding all kinds of paper.... Fold wet... fold
dry.... Backfoil if you wish..... backfoil and fold wet.... Fold some
starched fabric... wetfold card stock, tissue/foil... Fold Brill, Kawahata,
La Fosse, Momotani, Albertino, etc.... each creator has a different set of
tricks which you will discover at every crease....

What I am trying to say is experiment.... I cut my teeth on Montroll, and
still find his stuff rewarding to fold; but when one is interested in folding
3D models, there are other creators whose works lend themselves to sculpting
more-so than his.

Just my 2 cents... hope this helps,

Imtiaz,

  I use a beautiful soft, crinkled paper (comes in red,pink and yellow,
among other colors) from Katie's (on Broadway corner Prince in lower
Manhattan). The paper doesn't hold a fold well, but I have learned to handle
that; I also have to "cheat:" and glue the flaps closed and together, but
the result is quite attractive, IMO well worth the extra effort and
"cheating".
  I also, at the suggestion of a co-worker (I use my cubical as a showroom
for my folds) I made some earings from miniature cranes, mice and
brontasoruos (Montroll, folded from 2" paper) I used shellac to harden them,
but am now experimenting with water-based acrylic paint and acrylic spray,
to harden the models. The reacton was overwhelming; I'll be making quite a
few more for family and friends. The earing parts are quite cheap, if you
stick to sterling silver, about $1.50 a pair.

To BOS people,

I was just wondering when we are going to receive the August magazine soon or
     not because i'm going on holiday soon.

My first pack was the April one (which also included February).  In that I
     received the Bookends catalogue and the normal BOS supplies sheet.  With
     the June one, I only had the BOS supplies sheet.  Is this meant to happen?

Also, you know that small sheet which comes at the beginning when you first
     join regarding the library (you had to sign it with your name, address
     etc)  There was also a box at the bottom for you to tick if you wished to

I just bought 100 sheets of A4 hand made paper from Paperchase at the new

hand-made card folder and is coloured darker on one side than the other. It
folds very well and only cost 4.50 (for Paperchase that's very cheap!).
Bluewater is a very good shopping venue (if there is such a thing) with more
Coffee shops than you can shake a stick at, and the architecture and decor
is almost attractive. Also there's a Muji shop that sells cheap 'standard'
origami paper.

Oh well, back to my diagrams.

No Sweat...  The trick is to fold the bird base direct from a single
diagonal. Admittedly it isn't very neat but it is recognisable. It certainly
help focus one on what's going on in your

Hi to all!  Are there any Beethoven lovers out there?  I've listened to his
symphonies and concerti for years and thought that my favorite was the
ninth symphony.  I later bought Missa Solemnis and not only found a new
favorite, but was surprised by how wonderful it was!  Anyhow now I just got
his Mass in C and it is very beautiful music.  Anyone else have any
favorites for Beethoven?

I've been folding boxes all week and I've came upon a very good one, Fuse's
starry pinwheel octahedron box.  Both this lid and the generic octagon body
from Joyful Origami Boxes are surprisingly sturdy and just wonderful in the
neat little pattern for the lid both sides, and the inside of the body.
Has anybody actually fold the nested octagon boxes?  I like her use of
templates in this book it makes nesting easy and the units simpler than the
one she had in Origami Boxes.  I've been so inticed by these boxes that I'm
going to buy Fabulous Origami Boxes for more fun box folding!

I'm the only one in my family that likes Fantasia.  I've watched it several
times.  I have the music on CD to all but the scene with the hippo.  For
light music have you tried Brahms' serenades or Mahler's 4th?
Tchiakovsky's and Dvorak's serenades for strings are real neat and not dark
and gloomy.  Oh buy the way to the people who are groaning: I wasn't
actually starting a survey question because I actually asked Beethoven fans
on the group a proper subset of the list, it's less like my previous
questions like what's your favorite fold? and so forth.  Also I don't just
listen to music while I fold.  I listen just to listen and go to concerts.
I will now add my favs:

Beethoven: symphonies->Karajan,triple concerto->Walter, Missa Solemnis
Bach: St. John Passion
Mozart: symphony #38, piano concerto #25,symphony #29->Sir Neville Mariner
Mahler: symphony #2,3,5,  9->Walter (this is a classic!)
Shostakovitch: cello concerto #1
Rachmaninov: symphony #2,piano concerto #2,3
Haydn: London symphonies->Sir Colin Davis,Paris->Karajan
Smetana: Ma Vlast
Sibelius: Finlandia
Handel: Concerto Grosso, any opus
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet: Death of Tybalt (that's just awesome!),
symphony #5
Tchiakovsky: symphonies#3,4,Manfred,6
Shubert: 9 (first movement)

This is a small list of favs from my >150 cd collection.  I'm a freak, I
admit it.  A note on St. John's Passion, the first movement is the most
profound music that I've heard by Bach.  I was amazed to know that his
music could be so complex and profound.  I was used to the light nature of
his Brandenburg Concerti, violin and harpsicord concerti, orchestral
suites, and cantatas to be hit by this profound music that just shakes you
is astounding. Warning no segway->If you must get a good conductor get
Bruno Walters.  Bernstein and Karajan are great for fast, powerful music
but Walters can master the melody and make the music sweet and luxurious.
I've discovered this with my favorite Mahler symphony (he was Mahler's
student) and with other cd's.

So if this is to be made into a survey question: let it be what is your
favorite composers/groups (it doesn't have to be classical) and do you
listen to music when you fold?

> Gilbert and Sullivan, opera and ragtime piano music

Aloha Dorothy (and origami-l),

I've only recently discovered ragtime music, having
finally got a working phonograph to play my collection
of records on, and listened to a garage sale find, an
LP of Scot Joplin rags. Neat. i've always liked "The
Entertainer", and now am getting used to "Gladiolus
Rag" and some others. So far, the only one I can
reliably recognize is "The Entertainer", and I can't
quite remember all of it, I get lost about a third of the
way thru it.

I wasn't exposed to a lot fo classical music when I
was growing up, and don't like much of it. I tend to
prefer songs with lyrics I can understand. But some
instrumental pieces just "feel" neat.

"The Entertainer" is one of those, it just sort of strolls
along.

I have a bad memory for music. It's taken me about
a half dozen listenings before I could sometimes
remember that starting phrase for "The Entertainer".
I think I need to hear it a couple dozen more times
before I'll be able to call it up from memory.

Like names and places, I can recognize tunes easier
than I can recall them.

It doesn't help that I don't so much hear the notes
going up and down, as I hear them "moving", without
a sense of which direction they're moving in. My "ear"
doesn't seem to distinguish readily between pitch,
duration, and just plain presence.

For instance, I  "know" now that the first three notes of
"Three Blind Mice" are the same note three times, but
I have trouble hearing that, maybe because the words or
the rhythm are getting in the way.

I like the Gilbert and Sullivan patter songs as much for
the clever wording as for the music. (Tho I'd like to see
the actual words to "John Wellington Wells", because
there are sections in there that I just can't make out,
like his address. Come to think of it, I found a website
that had song lyrics. I wonder if I could find that again.)

I also like songs from the musicals. "My Heart Belongs
to Daddy", "Oklahoma", "Old Man River", "Summertime",
the songs from "Camelot", the songs from "Guys and
Dolls", especially that gambler's song about "Sit down,
you're rocking the boat", etc.

There's a cute Fats Waller song, "Cockroaches on
Parade", that I ran into in a science fiction "Filksong"
tape.

And two friends introduced me to "Zombie Jamboree".

Also, "Dance Around in Your Bones", sung by Ella Mae
Morse, "Travelin' Man" sung by Rick Nelson, an album
titled "The King of Elfland's Daughter" after the book of
the same name, and Bob(?) Lind's renditions of "The
Song of Wandering Aeneas" and "Hey, Nellie, Nellie",
any of several versions of "Marry in the Spring", likewise
"The Darby Ram".

I guess the music I like to listen to is a mess of
popular songs, folk songs, musicals, TV and movie
themes, and  like that there.

I liked the start of "Disco Night on Bald Mountain",
but around about the middle of that piece, it lost its
focus and just got boring. Too bad, it started out
really nice.

I don't like modern music, but I think that's my ears
getting old. I listen with horror to todays popular
music, thinking "Is this what our music sounded like
to our parents? No wonder they called it noise!".
And yet, I can listen to the music from the 50's
and 60's and still like it.  Most of the 70's too.
Maybe it just depends on what you get used to.

Aloha,
Kenneth Kawamura    (kenny1414@aol.com)

Joyce Saler inquired about food diagrams.  Not certain if the ones with

diagrams in Momotani's amusement park book.   At least, I THINK that's
what they are--the book is in Japanese.  I believe the tie-in is that
cakes would be sold at a refreshment stand.  I think there are some
fruit diagrams in it as well.

There are some fruit diagrams in Steve & Megumi Biddle's book Amazing
Origami for Children.  Most of them are the waterbomb-style fruit you
are already planning but there is a neat diagram for a bunch of bananas.
I made some cherries using small waterbombs in red paper with bent pine

multiple twigs and attached little purple waterbombs.

Good luck.  Hope this helps!

I'm a Gerry Rafferty freak, so anything by the Great Man.........Moonlight &
Gold, Baker
Street, Night Owl, anything from Snakes & Ladders. Anyone out there know the
latest whereabouts of GR, a bit of a recluse I hear since the 70's. Never
seen him in concert, still a great ambition!!

Matthias
the museum project for which  LOG  (Littleton Origami Group) has
volunteered is an exhibition of  christmas trees whose ornaments are
inspired by a childrens book. origami happens to be our choice of
illustration and ornament. i know that our effort will be over by Jan. 4th
so permanent it isnt. but there will be pictures and who knows, perhaps it
will encourage  young and not-so-young visitors to the exhibit to explore
origami further.

you will find origami models, books, andpaper, in most museum shops,
however. that fact raises some interesting questions about the public
perception of origami.

Subject: Origami puppets:  Gargoyles

Hey Fellow Folders,

Some of my fellow clubmembers at PAPER WONDERS
(http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/paperwonders) suggested I post these pictures
of my new doodles to the list.

I have designed origami puppets that "talk."   These gargoyle puppets were
wetfolded from 26" canson paper... the finished models are large enough to
comfortably maneuver the mouth mechanism from behind.

I apologize for the fuzziness of the pictures...

Gargoyle puppet 1:

Gargoyle puppet 2:

They latter of the two models has a lever device between the eyes which
allows change of eye expressions as well.  I am hoping to have diagrams for
them out soon....

Just thought I'd share....

Hey Andrew,

I haven't diagrammed the inchworm doodle yet... but it was started with a 5 x
12 grid...  an American dollar bill will work :)  ... The basic body is made
thusly:

1.  From the outer-side edge:  2 sections, line of 3rd section= MOUNTAIN,
line of 4th section=VALLEY... repeat on other end.

2. Swivel fold the outer-middle sections inward..

3. Box pleat the middle section.. and form the legs, head and tail pinchers
on the ends....( these are formed by a series of 45's and 22.5's)

I hope this helps... I hope to have diagrams for it soon..... Admittedly, I
do not enjoy diagramming NEARLY as much as designing/doodling.

for me rock (like toto, cher) or heavy rock (like motorhead or van halen)
is usually a good choice.

Subject: maekawa's devil

I remember that sometimes ago there was some talking about the maekawa's
devil (hope the spelling is correct). I've folded the model many times and
it's no that complex. My question is regarding the ears. I have a copy of
viva origami in japanese and the devil shown on the front cover has ears.
That's not explained in the diagrams (may be in the text but I don't speak
any words of japanese).

is anyone out there can help me ?

Subject: Origami in museums?

Hi all,

Does anybody know of museums that regularly host origami exhibits, or that
have origami in their permanent collection? I only know the Origami House in
Tokyo (and it's sort of obvious that they have origami, right?).

Are there other museums? Please give name of museum and city, and if possible
webpage.

Thanks a lot,
Matthias

Music,

        Mainly Debussy, Vaughan-Williams, Holst, Howells. But mainly chamber
music, string quartets in particular. Beethoven's Quartets are very good
but I prefer Debussy and Ravel.
        Delius Violin Sonatas or for a really raucous time some Schonberg or
Messiaen orchestral.

Absolute SILENCE! But with neighbours to the left, right, back, below
and above me providing a cacophony of English, Chinese, Malay and Hindi
music, I've got some hope .....

So much for cross-cultural living.
