Subject: 1000 Cranes

At the beginning of this year Heian International, Torrance, CA. published "A
Thousand Cranes." which I wrote. In addition to instructions for the crane,
which may be found in many places, I tried to address three other main
points.
1. Many people don't know how to string 1000 cranes after they have made
them.
2. They also don't know what a real live crane looks like.
3. Photos of the Hiroshima Peace memorial are not often seen in Western
literature.
    Given the thread about 1000 cranes on the list I venture to add this
announcement about my latest book which is sold by all the usual suspects for
$5.95. (ISBN: 0-89346-851-7).
All best from Florence.

Yesterday I was printing all the diagrams I could find on the net and so
yesterday afternoon I started on folding Maarten's Windmill. I've made all the

can't make it to step 2. So have anyone outthere tried to fold it and
succeeded or atleast got past step 2 who could help me?
Maybe you have some step by step photos or can explain it by plain text? Any

speed skating.

As for the @@ model, I've done a crease diagram, but I would be very

Time for a new definition I think! As a kite flyer/builder I do not
possess any kites of trad designs. Nor have I seen many amongst the
designs published by other sports kite flyers. As for tails these are
mostly used as an eye-catching device or a way of slowing down a fast
flyer. They can be used to help stabilise an unsteady kite.

I must say I am glad it uses "toy" rather than "child's plaything"! Most
"proper kites come with age warnings...as some require lines with
breaking strains of 150lbs+ (some over 300lbs) it would be easy to lose
a small child who took one of these beasts out, even in moderate winds.
Having said that I have a few candidates in mind which goes against my
whole argument!!!!!

Not quite what you are after but I have a couple of books that use
origami techniques to make kites...OK you fold a bit of paper! Many
require cuts (eg Max. Eden "magnificent book of kites") and others just
use staples (Marvellous mini kites by Norman Schmidt). The same author
also has a book that details making kites from Tyvek, a paper-like
plastic.

Personally I am more interested in making a fold that looks like a trick
kite - imagine a delta kite...now cut deep Vs either side of the spine
along the trailing edge. Extend the points back a bit and finally give
the overall figure a flattened M shape. Now if it flew too......

It depends if it is ever renewed. I believe that copyright lasts for a

No doubt that the kite base can be classified as a deltoid, but as there
are infinite "deltoids" conforming to this definition, maybe the question
is if "that" deltoid (with its special angles and proportions) has a name
of its own ?

Also, it looks like that definition can be applied to ANY
quadrilateral..... should it be restricted to "isosceles" triangles ?

Dear Roberto

Thank for mail.

Not to confuse the poor Kalmon
I will answer for him

The Question from Jerry D. Harris was

        A paleontological question has recently come up for which I thought
I might find the answer in the origami community!  8-O  The question is:
what is the name of the shape of a traditional kite?  This is, in origamic
terms, the Kite Base:

    *
  *   *
*       *
 *     *
  *   *
   * *
    *

and the answer is,  that this shape is a Deltoid

Kind Regards

Thoki Yenn

Yes, it's a rhomboid and a quadrilateral, but I'm looking for something
more specific, if it exists.  Since there are so many mathematicians and
geometers in origami, I'm hoping someone has an answer...?  We're loathe to
just say "kite shaped" since there are so many different kinds of kites
(box kites, deltoid kites, etc.) which don't have the "traditional kite"
shape (technically, I'm not even certain that this shape _is_ the
"traditional" shape!)  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in

Well I hope you have Origami Fantasy!  If you don't beat yourself with a
stick with a stick then buy it.  Spirals is good as well.  But it shouldn't
be long before you'll get it because it will be published this month.  If
you don't have any Fuse books you must be even more masochistic: calculate
the acceleration vector in spherical coordinates.  Then buy many Fuse
books.  And trust me you're better off beating yourself with a stick then
computing that acceleration vector!  Happy folding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,

I have already accumulated a fair collection Montroll and Lang and would be

David,

   I fold it with foil backed paper and do 3 dimentional shaing at the end.
I use twezers to round the top of the legs inward  front (the "thighs)  and
back (the "rump), creating a nice effect; the foil maintains a nice shape. I
have folded the unicorn in large (20" paper) to tiny (4" paper, resulting in
a 2" model) all with foil and the results are quite pleasing.

Subject: Single-color kami packs & Yasutomo color-flaking paper

I've recently been frustrated with two packs of
Yasutomo "Fold-em's" paper. I've wasted precious time
to fold units of a large modular, only to find that
using a bone folder to sharpen the creases causes the
color to flake off. Aitoh paper has never given me
these problems. Should I expect this from Yasutomo
paper?

Can anyone suggest a good source of single-color kami
packs? My local Pearl Arts & Crafts (Boston area)
doesn't have green in Aitoh paper.

Does anyone know what brand name Fascinating Folds and
Kim's Crane sells?

In your experience, do the color swatches at
Fascinating Folds match the color of the paper?

I'm using 5 7/8" square paper, and cutting it into
quarters. Do you know if the 6" square paper sets as
advertised at OUSA & Fascinating Folds is in fact 5
7/8" square?

Regards,

Carmine

Hi Carmine!  Since you said Boston area why don't you go down to A.C.
Moore.  I bought a pack of 100 sheets of aitoh paper with green included
there.  That's 9 3/4 though.  I use kotobuki for modular paper which I find
but I don't know if you can get that.  There's that stupid brand that makes
paper with the wave and with the folk art pattern.  It's too slick and waxy
feeling for me though, and its hard to see the creases on the color side.
The sheets might even be a little off from being square.  I actually
haven't tried Yasutomo paper because it looked like such a gimick that I
laughed at when I saw it in the store.  I would go with kotobuki as my
favorite so far.  But I don't know how easy it is to get outside of
california.  You could order from the companies.  It's interesting all the
different sizes that they make.

ps thanks for the unicorn advice.  I think I'm going to fold the final
unicorn out of silver foil, probably because of the influence of

Subject: Diagram format (Re: my origami creations)

It is not easy to answer your questions. My suggestion is to have you done
some reading. Have a look at
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/fileformats-faq/part1/index.html

It all depends on which software you are using for diagramming and what you
are willing to spend.
Briefly JPG and GIF are for directly web browsing. PostScript and PDF are
more for printing or quality publishing purpose. If you prefer hand-drawing
get a scanner and save the scanned diagram to gif would be enough. JPG is
better if you want to include photo in the diagram. As for computer-drawing
please check the old archives to find out available softwares and
suggestions.

If you don't want to spend money but time. Go get Ghostscript software for
free(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html). It can give you all the
formats you mentioned above. But installation and usage is not for beginner.

Or use current application you have to get any supported output format. I am
sure someone in the list can convert it to other formats. Good luck!

Speaking of Origami for sale, I just got a Holiday issue
of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.On page 15 are "Origami
Peace Cranes" for $10. each, 3 for $27. They are on strings
and have a crystal attached underneath. They are made from
print paper. Anybody know who folded them? Think how much
a person could sell 1000 for at that price.

Also, on p. 13, are "Star Lights". They are described as paper
lanterns, but look like 5-pointed folded stars. They are 25" X 10".
One is described as "Handmade Paper Noori". The paper is
gorgeous. They sell for $26. for some and $36. for the handmade
paper ones.

Since I live in Washington State I can't check these out in person.
Maybe someone in Boston could.

Within the last month or so I have seen two (at least) postings requesting
ideas for new models. Ok, I've got one for you. I am just getting into fish
keeping and have fallen in love with a fish called the Clown Loach (botia
macracantha). This is a lovely looking * two color  ;-) * freshwater fish
which I plan to keep 3 or 4 of. Above my 55 gallon tank I have an origami
display shelf and would LOVE to put a ~good~ model of a Clown Loach on it,
that would look so cool!

Here's a picture: http://aquaweb.pair.com/LOACH/details.shtml

You'll notice right off the challenge will be to match the color changes on
his body (kind of like that popular origami tiger that I've seen somewhere
(Joseph's [old?] page maybe ???)). I'm looking for a REALLY good model, I
don't care how complex (I'm not all that great at origami, but I want this
bad enough to work at learning it).

Well, I've thrown the bait... anybody get hooked?

    'Origami for the Connoisseur' by Kasahara & Takahama should be on

Kenneway's 'Complete Origami' has some classics in it, and I still haven't

Subject: Origami books!

Hi everyone!

I have another question for you!
Some years back I was in a store in Denmark and they had this amazing Japanese
book, but since it was the last copy left it wasn't for sale :( I've never
seen the book before nor after, so I thought if I described it maybe some of
you recognise it?

It was totally in Japanese and it was about folding boxes, some pretty amazing
boxes, for example I remember than on the cover one of the boxes shown had
folded strawberries on it. That's all I remember. Anyone recognise it?

I'm also looking for new origami books since no stores here in Halmstad,
Sweden has any. Unfortunately as you all know, if you buy through the internet
you don't have the possibility to look through the books and see if it's
something interesting, so I thought maybe I could write some titles here and
you could say what you think about them?
I like to fold useful stuff.. not animals which just fills up my boxes, but
stuff that you can hang or put places and which looks great/decorative. Boxes,
ornaments, greeting cards, flowers and so on, and I don't want to cut or use
glue. Anyone has the perfect booktitle for me? I've been folding now and then
for 5 years.

Here are the titles:

*Origami Step-By-Step by Robert Harbin
*Origami Magic/Book and Origami Paper by Florence Temko, Sandra Denis
*Essential Origami by Steve Biddle, Megumi Biddle
*Fantastic Folds : Origami Projects by Andrew Stoker, Sasha Williamson
(Contributor), Michael Newton
*Origami Flowers by Sakoda, James Minoru   (I couldn't find any scans of it on
the net.. anyone has one?)
*ABC's of Origami by Claude Sarasas  (I know nothing about this book)
*Origami ABC's by Hideaki Sakata (I know nothing about this book)
*Beautiful Origami by Zubal Ayture-Scheele
*Japanese Origami : Paper Magic (Crafts of the World (New York, N.Y.).)
by Ann Stalcup (I couldn't find any scans nor reviews so again a book I know
nothing about)
*Brilliant Origami; A Collection of Original Design by Brill, David
(No scans of this book either)

Well, I'm not finished listing, but I guess I should stop now. It's getting
overwhelming.
Hope to get some answers :)
Best wishes,
               Anine

The tiger in question is by KOMATSU Hideo.

For the clown loach, take a look at J.C. Nolan's "Creating Origami". He's
got a "Clown Fish & Sea Anemone" model that you might be able to extract the
fish from. Here's a picture:

I looked up "tryst," Oxford American Dictionary, n. an appointed meeting, an
appointment, especially one made by lovers. So from this and the shepherd's
hour, I guess that the hour of folding is the hour just after sunset. I've
also heard this hour called "the golden hour." Maybe, it refers to the
clothing being brought in and folded from the day's sun, or the sun folding
into the horizon. But, I'm just guessing for fun. Kelly

A fold is an enclosure for sheep.  As this follows the shepherd's hour,
presumably it is the time the sheep are returned to the fold.

Subject: origami polyhedra web page and polyhedra money folds

I've broken the site down into files, so it should load faster.

 A few people asked about the money folded polyhedra. FYI there are
lots of polyhedra that can be adapted as money folds in "Modular
Origami  Polyhedra". The book shows you how to prefold the bills.

Subject: Re: New Page with Star Wars Models

I hope I didn't say or imply that there were any @@ diagrams available.
I've been thinking about it but have not done anything yet as it is not high
on my list of priorities.  I've got so many different things going on and
not enough time to do it all.  Right now I am taking a bit of a break, after
spending over 100 hours of my free time on the samurai flags, I've neglected
my family a little bit too much; it's kind of a strange feeling being in the
same house with a bunch of strangers.  Next on the list are of course my
samurai miniatures and if luck holds up, a destroyer droid from Episode 1.
The droid is about 75% complete, but if I can't get the detailing I want,
I'll put it into the back burner.  With only about an hour of folding time
per week, this may take several months.  After that, I should have lots of
free time to get the @@ diagrams going since I would have won the lottery.
(Hint:  I do not play the lottery!)

Subject: Kites

If anybody is interested I do have a really simple Kite formed from a few
folds which does fly (suprisingly well in light winds), no cuts. It is based
on the early steerable parachute designs from the 50s which were designed
around being 'flown' as opposed to the usual falling to your death but a bit
slower type.

On the subject of small kites I got a couple of 2.5 inch bow kites which I
have flow from a fan heater indoors.

As you may have guessed I am a bit of a kite fan. Folding is fun, but for
adrenalin nothing beats my stacked powerfoils being flown on 50kg
lines................

I saw this message and I have to ask you where you can find Tanteidan
convention books.  I'm always looking for new and complex books and I've
seen some of the tanteidan models and they look really great but I don't
know where to find them.

Thanks for your help,
Collin Weber

Some of them are in Sasuga and other stores and you can order them from JOA
(I think!).  You could see if you could order from Sasuga since they have
them (I actually saw them there so it's a safe bet).
