Hi Debra,

Tony Cheng suggested I write an article about the Shumakovs which appears
below. If you can use it, we can get a picture or two from them. If you want to
correspond directly with them, their email address is:
origami@aaanet.ru. They could probably scan a picture and send it to you if you
can print it for use. They are able to correspond n English and are prompt in
their replys and delightful to deal with.

I received permission from Florence Temko and John Smith to use quotes and
Jeremy Shafer's comes right out of the B.A.R.F. publication.

I also spoke to Marc Kirschenbaum and he would co-ordinate with you to present
some of their diagrams in the same issue.

In Search of the Lost Diagrams
      by Rachel Katz

Yurii and Katrin Shumakov (a.k.a. Y2K) of Rostov, Russia have created a
fantastic world of origami. It is a place called Oriland. Anyone with access to
the World Wide Web can spend an hour (I dare you to keep it that short.) a day,
an evening or as. Florence Temko (CA) wrote in the guest book there, "I just got
back from a vacation in Oriland and had a wonderful time. The trip was awesome.
What a creative use of origami.." Once in this magical world of Oriland there
are seven cities to visit . Each city is complete with a castle, a statue,
distinctive architecture, beings, flowers , and more; just go there and see for
yourself. the cities of Oriville, Foldingburg, Goblington, Papertown, La Magic,
Newfold, and San Elf. You can get there from a link in
 <origami-usa.org>  or, take the express route at:
 <http.//library.advanced.org/27152/index.htm>
Other search engines will get you there if you get on the www. and ask them to
take you to Oriland then take the link to the Thinkquest site.

As part of ThinkQuest and in keeping with the name, one is challenged to search
for the "Lost Diagrams" and thereby put together the clues and then be listed as
a "Best Scout of Oriland." Among the winners is Michelle Tait(NY). The grateful
inhabitants of Oriland have awarded her the title. She just might be the first
OUSA member to be named a "Best scout." In your explorations, hidden just about
anywhere - perhaps behind a tree in a house, or behind a statue, are hidden the
lost diagrams. As you find them, you will begin collecting the diagrams for a
model and a two letter clue on each diagram to help you solve the puzzle.

A stop at Oriversity in Oriville, the capital of Oriland, will reveal lectures
and diagrams for about 70 models, just about all of them originals and articles
on other subjects of interest. In the library of Oriversity you can learn, that
the origami is not only entertainment, but also way for development of
psychomotor, intellectual and creative abilities. Of their study, "The Folding,
a Method of Bilateral Development," John Smith (UK)... An exciting and most
important paper which shows how the development of cognitive abilities in
children is closely linked to psychomotor development. The development of more
and more fine and precise movements of the hands involves the analysis and
synthesis of brain activity. The training of the fingers of a boy accelerates
the process of the functional maturing of the brain. The folding methods
described in this paper show how the two halves of the brain are developed by
the use of Origami. The method has therapeutical and correctional applications
as well. The conclusion is drawn that the 'folding method' of bilateral
development combines the activation of the hemispheres (of the brain) with the
sensation of a game. The remarkable aspect of this paper is that it reports on
painstaking and careful research which support the conclusions that are drawn.

Find where the Origami Cafe is located and leave messages for other origami
enthusiasts. In addition to the Castle, there is the Gallery of Heroes, and  the
Museum of Architecture in which it is possible to see some of the models from
the Treasury of Oriland.

In the city of Foldingburg are the skeletons of dinosaurs. It also has the
Foldingburg Castle, a statue and of course the Museum of Paleontology which
houses some of the Treasury of Oriland and an exhibition of animals.

Newfold: Garden of a Thousand Aromas has inhabitants who look after the garden,
a statue and Castle Newfold, is as imaginative as can be. There is an Oribana
Pavilion and flower arrangement which is also part of the Treasury of Oriland.

The goblin's reserve is called Goblington. In addition to it's special statue
the Castle has an exhibition of boxes and vases and a "Paper Assorti"
exhibition. Strawberry cultivation is carried on by these goblins who love to
travel in ships.

Papertown is Oriland's theme park city. The inhabitants of Oriland visit this
city and make use of the Salon of Transport. There is an Office Supplies
Exposition in their Castle in which part of the Treasury of Oriland is
displayed. What would a theme park be without it's own BIG WHEEL? You'll find
the origami version of this along with the special Statue of Papertown.

As if all this wasn't magical enough, The Shumakovs have created a city called,
La Magic: the Magic Portal. You've probably guessed that the castle here houses
the Gallery of Magic Items. It also houses the Exhibition of Decorations and
part of the Treasury of Oriland.

The Whispering Forest of San Elf. Is inhabited by elves - small wood spirits
personifying the natural elements. There is the San-Elf Statue and The Museum of
Flora is in the San-Elf Castle which  houses the plants of Oriland. It is also
part of the Treasury of Oriland.

Oriland  delights in many ways with surprising little features including a place
to click and send a flower to a young lady in a boat in order to win her love
and watch the result fly across the screen to the lucky suitor.

Katrin and Yurii Shumakov, the creators of this whimsical, beautiful world are
graduate students who have written their Ph.D. thesis on how origami affects the
brain and develops skills in children. Folders recognize the benefits that
origami brings to education. To name a few of the obvious ones:
     Eye hand coordination
     Visual and auditory attention skills
     Problem Solving
     Sequencing skills....
     Symmetry
     Self Esteem.......
    ......
The most surprising one that emerged for me from their studies is that paper
folding stimulates the language  portion of the brain. Katrin and Yurii Shumakov
note that as the child begins showing a preference for the right or left hand,
the other side of the brain receives less stimulation. Origami, which
necessarily uses both hands provides the stimulation for optimal learning.
Leonardo Da Vinci would be applauding this finding. He too theorized that for
optimal brain function, he should force himself to use the opposite hand in his
work. This research goes a long way in explaining why very young children are
able to learn languages so easily. Do go to Oriversity to read the complete or
abridged text of this enlightening study. The Shumakovs would like to replicate
their study in other countries.

If chasing down The Lost Diagrams isn't for you, you can visit Oriland at their
equally beautiful web site at <www.origami.aaanet.ru> Jeremy Shafer (CA) wrote
in the San Francisco orgami publication, B.A.R.F. "Check out this new,
incredibly prolific, impressively hi-tech, beautifully colorful Russian origami
site, which puts all western sites to shame: Yurii & Katrin Shumakovs Russian
origami gallery." There, by clicking on "Origami Studio" you can easily access
diagrams for the forty seven models that they generously share with the origami
community. The models that have been diagrammed run from simple to high
intermediate. Models use one or several pieces of paper and rarely any cutting
or glue A click on "Origami Gallery" reveals pictures of many more models. There
is so much more to be explored at this site including their thesis, news,
information on their books and CD's, links etc. We are indeed fortunate to be
exposed to these talented Russian folders. Don't miss a visit to Oriland to see
what the excitement is all about.

Hi all,

Here is the address for a net-library

http://www.netlibrary.com

I guess one advantage of e-books will be the removal of the "tell-tale
compression of pages" which lets you know you are nearing the end of a
book :}. Another advantage, thinking from an open-access library point of
view, will be the end to 'missing' books.

I work in a tertiary library, and it was interesting to note that the
level of usage of the printed form did not suddenly decrease with
introduction of many online resources (as many assumed would happen). It
seemed that most library users treated this new resource as ancillary
rather than a replacement.

Whilst books are taking a lot longer to convert to the electronic world
than most people thought, it is becoming more cost effective and sensible
to purchase electronic journals and newspapers online, or databases that
provide full text to articles rather than just citations. Advantages are
quite clear in this area of publication, including the removal of
collection maintenance, and providing up-to-date information in an
easily-searchable format (has anybody seen Lexis Nexis? WOW!)

Now if only people can learn to not print everthing out before they read
it, we might actually save some paper after all......;}

Hope this is of interest to some

David, I never heard of the term either but I understand the intent.
Knowing how close you are to the end of the book by looking at the thickness
of the last remaining pages you have yet to read is actually not very fun;
it gives away the fact that the story must end soon.  This also happens when
I am watching movies at home and I glance at the clock.  It is much better
when you are unaware of when the ending is comming.

Oh like when I'm reaching the end of a Robert Jordan book and I start
reading faster because I know the big climax is coming, which of course I

Personally I enjoy the wide-ranging 'origami and everything' topics. Surely
one of the great attractions of origami is that it reaches out to touch so
many other areas of life? (I know you can say this about many other things
as well - but I still think origami is kind of uniquely wierd in this way.)
Surely also one of the great attractions of this list is that there are so
many members who are expert in so very many oddly diverse things and that
they share their knowledge with the rest of us?

I recall that when the botanist David Bellamy visited my daughters school
here in Kendal he pointed out that there were only find twenty or so
different species of plants growing on the playing fields. Should have been
hundreds apparently. Too many weedkillers - not enough weeds.

Howard Portugal wrote:

>Marriage tends to scramble the brain Joseph, be on the lookout for other
>symptoms as well ...

If you think marriage scrambles the brain, wait till you throw kids into the
mix.  (You've seem me in action Joseph and know how strange I am.)

That said and done, I'm kind of curious as to how many are married/have kids
and how that has affected your folding.

Initially when I was single (but dating), I spent lots and lots of time
folding and buying books.  It was almost obsessive to the point where I
would try to fold every model I came across and I'd haunt the bookstores
regularly and picked up almost every new book in sight.  Most of the appeal
was the challenge of getting to the end product and just analyzing the logic
of the structure.

Then came marriage.  My wife does not fold at all, but she doesn't seem to
mind me doing it (or at least, I do not think she minds).  With the added
responsibilities and having a better half, my folding time diminished
substantially.  Finances also dictated a more prudent approach to book
buying.  The strange part is, my focus seemed to have shifted to quality
rather than quantity.  Folding was actually more fun and was a relaxing
diversion.  I'd analyze diagrams, but only fold the models that had special
appeal.

Then came my sons.  My folding time dropped to about 2 or 3 hours a week.
Books had to be pretty special before I'd dish out my limited resources.  I
began to explore models on my own and to be more creative since I did not
have tons of diagrams to follow.  It was during this period that I was
slowly moving myself to designing models - mostly simple things and what I'd
call abstract/interpretive origami or more correctly, rejects.

At present, my sons are a bit older and one seems to be expressing an
interest to origami, the other like my wife has no interest at all.  It
almost seems like I've come in a big circle.  Part of the reason I started
origami, was that children loved it and I love children.  I find myself
volunteering to do folding sessions for my son's class once in a while.
Also, it is most enjoyable to sit with my son and show him how to fold some
models - the thrill that a child experiences when he holds a model that he
made himself is a wonderful sight to behold.  I now have even less time to
fold for myself (less than an hour a week of actual physical folding), but I
do "think" about origami more.  The process is slow and painful, but I am
able to create some fairly complex models that are not always rejects.  In
fact, I usually don't fold following diagrams anymore; I'd rather experiment
and see if I could come up with something new and different on my own.  The
fun of origami is in the explorations, both successful or not, and, the
sharing of knowledge with others.

For me at least, it seems as if the stages of my life are reflected in the
development of my stages in origami.  I started off much like a kid with
rather selfish motivations and interested in quantity and excess.  With
marriage and kids, came the quality, the giving and the sharing.  Finally, I
see the reproduction of the cycle starting again with traces of me in my son
as he starts his journey in origami.

Phew, sorry for the rather intellectual piece here, but I am "thinking"
about origami more.

Just a tip that I use for storing Large sheets of paper. Since I work for a
large company, they are always using the flip charts for meetings. The Flip
Charts are shipped two to a box. Each chart is 27 inches  by 34 inches, not
counting the binding on the top of the chart. The box is about a half an
inch thick. This means that most large paper can be put inside  and stored
flat free from dust. Acid contend may be of concern but I don't intend to

Nothing to do with ebay, but just clarifying the concept of "Dutch bids"
here....

What makes these a "Dutch bid" is that these items (such as a lot of
flowers) are sold starting at an exorbitant price that no one would pay
for.  The price gets lower and lower until the first person hits the
buzzer....then the flowers are sold at that price.  Get it?  It's a very
different kettle of fish, er, tulips.

On ebay, you type in the maximum price you are willing to bid...it's kept
as a secret!  It's very possible that the high bidder has punched in
$100--if no one bids more than $50, then he/she will get it for $51, rather
than $100.  Get it?

If you were to type in $60, then ebay would tell you that you were in a
bidding war and were instantly outbid (by the guy who is willing to put as
much as $100 on the line.)  Ebay will increase the asking price to say $65,
and ask if you are willing to revise your bid.

>>The prices being offered on e-bay makes it tempting either to 1) buy
>>origami books as an investment or 2) sell off my current collection and

Don't do it unless the book is not readily available elsewhere!   :)

And, yes, I do predict $100 for this book--which I own but would never sell

Guilty. One of my commissions. The cel phone, the lap-top and the desk top
computer are all original models, done in a bit of a rush (so they're not as

Douglas Hofstadter spins a whole story around this theme. The persons in
the story (Achilles and the Tortoise) discuss ways to conceal the apparent
end of a book. The means they devise start with adding blank pages but get
more sophisticated all the time, like adding new characters to the story or
making slight adjustments to layout, letter spacing or the number of
grammatical errors on a page. Of course, in the end it would take a very
clever reader to say where the real end of the story is.
Needless to say (for Hofstadter-lovers) this story itself ends with some
totally new characters bursting in after a line with 3 'printing errors' in
it.

>>for which occasions would the 1000 cranes be appropriate as a gift?

I made 1000 cranes for my son's wedding from gold foil.  A friend took the
cranes and put them into a beautiful and very large laquered frame.  She
arranged them into the shape of 2 swans, with the head and neck sections
formed into a heart, which resembles the 2 swans on U.S. postage "Love"
stamps.  We displayed it at the wedding reception, and the guests "ooh-ed
and aw-ed" over it.

Here in Los Angeles where there is a large Japanese community, cranes are
arranged and framed for weddings, golden anniversaries, births, and other
special occasions.  For his wedding, my cousin had his arranged into the
kanji (Chinese characters) for his last name.  I have seen two cranes
flying off together, Japanese crests, and other beautiful designs.  The
cranes are gold foil and are made from squres as small as 1 inch--mine were
3" squares as I would have gone nuts folding 1000 one-inch squares.  There
is usually one extra crane (made from red foil) somewhere in the picture.
I'm not exactly sure of the significance of the extra crane , but someone
told me she heard it signified the continuance of life.

We had decided way back when that when we strayed off the beaten track, we

origami books made from the paper, and the origami we fold from the paper.

This would be one boring list if all we did was discuss folding sequences.

How about a hanging mobile of flying bats?  A few years ago I took Rob
Weinstock's mobile making class at the OUSA convention. Here's how I've
made them:

Materials:

Wet fold several of Michael LaFosse's 'happy good luck' bats from black
Canson paper;
thread (I use transparent monofilament 'invisible' thread);
stiff wire;
hot glue gun.

Glue three pieces of thread to the back (concave side) of the bats so
that they 'fly' horizontally (looks more natural than using one piece of
thread and having the bat hanging vertically).  If you want to hang some
of Michael's 'sleeping bats' glue one piece of thread to the 'foot' end
of the bat. Attach the bats to the wires so that everything balances and
hang the mobile up.  Diagrams for the bat may be found at
ftp://rugcis.rug.nl/origami/models/mammals/ or from Michael's Happy Good
Luck Bat video.

It really depends on the paper. Most common use paper these days (newsprint,
photocopy paper, etc.) is made mostly from wood pulp. Cotton is used in
specific applications only (e.g. Crane's specializes in cotton paper and
they supply the paper for US money).

Hi Andrew,

Not sure where you got that impression, but pretty sure
you're wrong.

I could be wrong in the details, but this is what I think I know.

I'm not a papermaker, but if I remember my history right,
the chinese invented papermaking from rags, using old fishnets
and old clothes I think, way back when.

That process made it to Europe, just in time to solve the
problem of the parchment shortage, you know, the original
parchment, dried sheets of animal skin, which shortage
had led to the invention of italic handwriting and other
similar writing styles, as scribes tried to cram more onto
less parchment.

This worked for a little while, then there came a paper shortage,
as the rag supply dwindled. A European (maybe the frenchman
Fourdrinier?) got the idea for using woodpulp as a fiber source
instead of cotton and linen, from studying the nest of a so-called
paperwasp that makes its nest out of chewed wood. It was a
sudden inspiration, but it took a while to make it workable.

So for maybe a century, the cheaper paper has been pulp paper,
made from woodpulp. Newspapers, magazines, paperback books,
even expensive hardcover books have been printed on pulp paper,
which is produced by a process that uses sulfuric acid to unstick
the gummy lignin that holds together the cellulose fibers in wood,
and which acid seems to be responsible for the Library of Congress
being filled with books that are disintegrating faster than they can
microfilm them.

We still make and use the expensive cotton and linen rag-based
papers, but they seem to be used for fancy business letterhead,
resumes, art paper, that sort of thing.

More recently, because there are other plants like hemp (Marijuana)
and Kudzu that need different processing to separate their fibers,
and the waste from the traditional acid-process is an environmental
pollution problem, and the acid is hard on the equipment, and the
acid-deterioration of paper is a problem people are complaining about,
there are new papermills being built that produce acid-free paper,
using new or improved chemistry.

Also, chlorine bleaching was used, but it produced dioxins and
other problems, so the trend is towards an oxygen bleach process
that is environmentally friendlier, and hopefully easier on the
machinery and cheaper.

And, at each change in technology, the new product ended up
being cheaper and more plentiful. Interesting, no?

Sorry about running on so. I have trouble resisting the urge to
answer a question. And the odd details in the history of
science and technology fascinate me. Here are two examples.

The internal combustion engine was inspired by a South Pacific
hollow wooden cylinder-in-cylinder fire-starter.

Penicillin  would probably not have been important except for
a lucky mutation that produced a breeding line of penicillin that
grows thruout the culture medium instead of just forming a
scummy mat on the surface, like wild-type penicillin does.
This accidental mutation allowed mass-production of the
antibiotic. Without it, there wouldn't have been enough to go
around.

Wonder if we'll ever make paper from mats of bacteria?
Seems like it should work. Maybe grow one long continuous
mat, crush the juices and proteins out, then bleach, calendar,
and trim the mat, in a continuous process?

You know, paper-thin wood veneer is made by "peeling" a
spinning log with a very big sharp knifeblade to produce a
continuos sheet of veneer from each log. Wonder whether
that stuff can be wet-folded?

Oops, wandering again.

one of my very first creations
The Crossed Box Pleat
and put it on www.thok.dk/cbphp.html

I have had the great pleasure that at least two
very talented young folders:
Peter Budai in Hungary  http://members.tripod.com/~PeterBudai/Origami.htm
and Sebastian Kirsch in Germany skirsch@T-ONLINE.DE>
(please Sebastian, tell the list your URL for your tesselations)
has made beautifull tesselations from this simple fold.

You see I have to lean on others and take every opportunity
to throw in my slippers and play Modesty Blaize
whenever there is the slightist chance
of inventing a connection to something mentioned..

You might dare to have look at the rest of my site too

Subject: origami sighting--editorial cartoon, origami meets Sensation art show

Hi, I've been off the list for a while, so someone else may have mentioned
this already. At the risk of bringing the debate about sensationalist art,
censorship, the Brooklyn Museum, and New York City's mayor, Rudy Giuliani,
to this list, let me describe to you SHeneman's editorial cartoon in the
Newark NJ Star-Ledger Tuesday 9/28/99.

The caption reads "Welcome to the Brooklyn Museum of Art, R.
Giuliani--Curator" The setting is an art museum with several viewers
looking at pictures. The only picture showing is a cat hanging perilously
from a branch, with a label, "Hang in there, Baby!" One viewer says, "I
didn't care for the Sad Clown exhibition, but the Dogs Playing Poker was a
triumph."  Arrows on the wall point to "Macaroni Sculpture. Origami.
Cartoons."

    If you find yourself with lots of time on your hands, why not put that
new degree in Japanese to good use and translate each new issue of Tanteidan
for us?

When sending the message I had uploaded the GIF file.
But it got the name Prop04.gif and the URL said ...../prop04.gif
The WWW server is on a UNIX system and so is case sensitive ...

After sending and receiving the message I checked the URL.
It did not work, so I corrected that. Took me some minutes in total.
So Joseph, you were online when I sent the message? You must have been
fast ...
