I had a few ideas on this tough challenge. I thought making a lemon slice
would be more recognizable. I formed a radial pleat at the base of a
square, and wrapped a coloured layer around to make the peel. The results
were fairly effective. If you made a geometric lemon that had a slit in it,
you could place it over an origami glass, and in that context it would
clearly be a lemmon. It did pique my curiosity as to why anyone would be
into lemons (origami or otherwise). Marc

Subject: Re: Smallest Models - was Poll and Twist Fold

This is extracted from Eric Kenneway's 'Complete Origami':

"In response to a 'smallest flapping bird' competition, A. Naito of
Japan folded a model from paper a mere 2.9mm (about 1/10 inch) 2quare.
To display his model, which measured only about 2mm from beak to tail,
Naito mounted it on the point of a needle and enclosed it inside a
transparent globe. It was nonetheless difficult to see with the naked
eye. Nigel Keen, an ophthalmic optician, solved the problem by fitting a
contact lens to the outside of the globe through which viewers could
study the model properly.

The winning model in a 'world's smallest crane' competition held in
1986, was folded from aluminium coated paper a mere 1mm (one millimeter
- 1/25 inch) square. The competition was organized as an exercise in
improving the skills of medical specialists who were engaged in sewing
individual blood vessels. The winning model was folded by Assistant
Professor Y Watanabe (Anatomy Department of Sapporo University) by using
a needle under a microscope."

That was some years ago. Has anybody folded even smaller flapping birds
and cranes since then?

But about the lemon, I think a lemon not in a ball shape, but a slice would
be nice because it could sit on a glass edge, a two sided yellow

That would be impressive! Even more impressive with a white rim around the

Subject: The PAPER :(

Well, I just received my winter 1999 issue of the paper, and I have to say
that I am disappointed with it.

Oh, the articles were interesting, the pictures enjoyable, but what about the
diagrams?  They tout on the cover "Check It Out Six Pages of Diagrams"
WOW! Six whole pages-I could hardly wait to rip off my jacket and get started
on that Kirschenbaum Pencil-now where is that yellow paper?

SIx pages out of 31 is 19%.  By contrast my last issue of BOS (#199)
contained 23 pages of diagrams out of 40 (57.5%), my last issue of Tanteidan
contained 18 pages out of 38 (47%), and let's not even talk about Jeremy
Shafer's BARF which is practically all diagrams.  The issue before this, fall
99, contained the same measly 2 diagrams, but they stretched it to 8 pages
out of 35 (22%).

Now, I know people will say that OUSA also has the annual which can run to
300 pages.  Fine, I say, but I PAY for that as part of my going to convention
costs.  To those who don't or can't make it to NYC and want the annual they
also PAY for it.

Other people will say, fine, Andrew, why don't you create models, diagram
them, and send them in for publication.  Well, I don't consider myself
talented enough of a creator to do that.  I have made a few very simple (in
my estimation) dollar bill folds, one of which I did diagram, and have
submitted, and the other fold is being diagrammed now.  A third dollar fold I
made and showed at the 99 convention, I found out had been already been done
by Mike Thomas (of five diamond $ fame) but to my knowledge never diagrammed.

I have only been a member of OUSA for 3 years now, and I will probably be a
member for life, that is how much the pursuit of the peace of paper has
gripped me, but I want, no, I demand more diagrams from the premier Origami
magazine of the United States.  Origami members of the USA-arise, run to the
windows and shout out "I'm mad as hell and I won't take it any longer-I want
more diagrams!" Maybe if we yell loud and long enough, OUSA will hear us.

or strips about 4 or 5 cm wide?  Just curious as I never buy these for my

was misguided and could fold them into works of art for her (because I can
never think of better things to do int he morning before rushing off to

In his posting last night/this morning Andrew Hans deplores the small
proportion of diagrams inthe latest issue of The Paper and compares it
unfavourably with British Origami and Origami Tanteidan Newsletter.

Andrew is an enthusiast for diagrams and practical origami. But diagrams are
not the only function of an origami magazine. What he my think of as boring
old text is important because it spreads news of origami and paperfolders
throughout the world. It also spreads new ideas which are the lifeblood of
future new models and it helps to preserve the memory of earlier paperfoders
and what they achieved and how origami developed from simple traditional
models to become the complex art it is today.

I haven't yet received my copy of the latest edition of The Paper, so I
cannot comment on this particular issue. But I should be very sorry if The
Paper became merely a collection of models: I rely on it for news of origami
in the United States.  As a ressult of the deliberate policy of the new
editor, British Origami has recently altered the balance between diagrams and
text. I hope it will not go too far. A balance must be kept. And how I wish I
could read the textual matter in the Origami Tanteidan Newsletter!

I could hardly improve David's comments on proper ratios of magazine contents,
but let me stress a few points; my opinion is not partial, since I too love
diagrams. _However_, IMHO each media has its own role. Do you want:
- the newest, state-of-the-art, maybe hastily sketched diagrams? Get
  a convention pack or annual
- diagrams by lesser-known (but maybe wonderful) authors? Ditto
- carefully drawn diagrams in a rounded-up package? Get a book
- interviews, technical articles, news, book reviews? Get a _magazine_

And if you think the JOAS and BOS magazines have a "better" diagram vs. rest

Dear David:
        What! An erudite well-read man like yourself not aware of Ground Hog
     Day?
        Groundhogs are also known as woodchucks.  They are large rodents (5-7
pounds) which live in pastures and grasslands (and around suburban houses
nowadays.  They dig extensive burrows, the holes of which are a hazard for
farm animals and tractors when a leg or wheel falls in. Woodchuck males
leave their burrows and visit neighboring burrows about this time of year
to impregnate the female(s). (My guess is this is how the idea of Ground
Hog day got started.) Young are born about 6 weeks later.       My husband and
I used to live-trap the pregnant females for research purposes.  The young
were hand-reared and eventually a captive colony was established at Cornell
University.  Woodchucks get some similar liver diseases as humans and are
therefore good for research into cures.
        Woodchucks are edible. And probably have more meat on them than
     hedgehogs.
 I always think of hedgehogs as small. Are they?
  On February 2nd (my grandmother Sackett's birthday) the groundhog
supposedly comes out of his burrow to see if the sun is shining. Whether or
not it is foretells the state of our weather for the rest of the winter.
If he sees his shadow,six more weeks of  snow.  If not,spring will arrive
early.  I think that is the way it goes.  Does not make sense to me.
        Punxatauny, Pa (spelling?) has claimed this holiday as their name to
     fame
and stages a big fete around the captive, boxed groundhog, Phil, coming out
to see what the weather forebodes.  There is a great philosophical movie
called Groundhog's Day with Bill Murray in it that you can watch to see
what it is like (sort of).
        By the way David, are you any relation to the famous Lister of science?
Have wanted to ask for the longest time.

Deborah Miller,

Freeville, New York, heart of the Finger Lakes.
where those male woodchucks will have a hard time even digging out from
under the snow to come out of their burrows.

Uhm, it's poor unhappy Matthias again.  Using your logic, why didn't you
complain directly to the complainer instead of to the entire list?  No, that
would not suit your purpose in sending so much unpleasantness via this
otherwise delightful forum.
Please do understand that you speak only for yourself, certainly not for me.
Maybe you could fold some dolls and stick pins in them when you get
frustrated over whatever it is that is bothering you.

<< celebration known as
Ground Hog Day. >>

I'm reading that it was actually a custom that people from Germany and
Great Britain brought to America. But, no dates or references to how.
I live in California, so it really doesn't concern us here. No snow, and
green grass is starting to grow finally!! Who cares about a woodchuck.
Also, the woodchuck is from the squirrel family. It looks like you could
fold a fatter squirrel with small ears and have the tail down...and get a
ground hog.
Children's ground hog idea:
It could be neat for children to make a shoe box, and have a
hole in it for the ground hog to look up and see the sun on Feb 2. In the
shoe box could be his winter bed and cozy things. Then, in the morning
all the kids could take their boxes outside and see if the folded ground hog
makes a shadow when looking through the hole. If not, it could go back
in the box to sleep for six weeks. If sun, it can stay up all day!
I think possibly
it to teach us that spring is not here yet, but that the ground hog
brings hope that it is soon, six weeks can be counted. And, that ahead are
all the wonders that spring brings to dream about like a ground hog.
But, that is just my thought about it, and I bet it has to do with counting
the days until planting after frost for farming, but does anyone know why
six weeks for sure?

Subject: Re: [NO] ground hog day

According to the "Folklore of American Holidays"

"On Candlemas (February 2), the woodchuck (groundhog) is said to emerge from
his hibernation in order to look for his shadow. If he sees it, he will
return to his burrow for six more weeks. If he doesn't, he knows spring will
arrive soon. The belief is related to the association of Candlemas with the
sowing of the crops, sunny weather forboding harsh days and so poor
planting. In Germany, the badger, and in England and France the bear, had
analogous roles as weather prognosticators."

The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawany Phil, who lives in the eponymous
town (or is he the eponymous one, and the town the original? whatever!)in
Philadelphia and is said to be more than 100 years old! He comes out each
year and his "report" is broadcast on tv and radio.

A woodchuck resembles a gopher or prairie dog. It is related to the
squirrel. They hibernate over the winter. Think beaver without teeth, and
with a furry flat but not broad tail.

Okay, I'm drinking too much coffee again and got curious!
It comes from Candlemas day..Feb 2.

An English saying:
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Winter has another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
Winter will not come again.

A German Saying:
For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day,
So far will the snow swirl until May.
For as the snow blows on Candlemas Day,
So far will the sun shine before May.

And the American saying:
If the sun shines on Groundhog Day;
Half the fuel and half the hay.

In Germany a Badger was watched for a shadow, but in Pennsylvania, it was
replaced with the watching of a ground hog instead.
In 1723, the Delaware Indians settled Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
When German settlers arrived in the 1700s, they brought a tradition known
as Candlemas Day.
The superstition was that if the winter weather was good, the second half of
winter is not going to be so good.

Subject: Re: NO

To see why this joke is on topic with a recent NO thread, read to the end.

3 men have died and are waiting at the pearly gates to be let in.  St.
Peter appears and says: "I would love to let you all in, but first you must
demonstrate that have been a good Christian and have faithfully observed
all the traditions.  So I will ask each of you a question and if you know
the answer you can enter."

To the first man, he says, "Tell me, what is the meaning of Christmas?"
The first man replies, "Well, that's when Santa Claus comes down the
chimney in the middle of the night, and if you've been good you get a bunch
of presents but if you've been bad you get a lump of coal instead."
Whooosh!  The man dissappears into the netherworld.

Feeling somewhat cranky, St. Peter turns to the second man and says, "You,
now, maybe you can tell me what happened on the Pentacost."  The second man
thinks really really hard for quite a while and then says, "I know!  That's
when we all dress up in funny costumes and then we make a doll and throw it
into the bonfire!"  Whoosh!  Likewise the second man is removed.

St. Peter turns to the third man and he is in a really foul mood.  "OK,
you!  You'd better know the meaning of Easter!"  The third man says, "Oh
that's easy! That's when Jesus was crucified, and he died and got entombed
in a cave."  He pauses for breath, and St. Peter's face lights up and he
says eagerly, "Yes, yes, and then what?"

"Well, then he is dead for 3 days and then on the third day, he rises from
the dead and rolls back the stone covering the entrance to the cave, and if
he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter and if he
doesn't...."  Whooosh!

All this talk of groundhog day reminded me of one of my favorite jokes!

Given its purpose, I doubt you'll find _overhead_ film much larger than
that. I use a lot of A4 film, but since A4 is taller and _narrower_ than
letter size, you won't get a bigger square by using it.
Some projectors use (or used to use, I haven't seen any of these for a
long time) rolls (spools) of acetate instead of separate sheets [thus
having all disadvantages of ordinary film plus two, you can't insert/
remove sheets from a presentation, and if you make a big mistake you ruin
the whole roll] - should you find such a roll you'd not get a larger square,
but you could fold a Lang pianist or a 7x1 cuckoo clock :).

                Carlos

P.S. IMHO ordinary film is too flimsy for keeping 3D folds from collapsing,
except for very small models. I'd also try thicker film designed for
laser/xerox.

I was at my kids' school doing some laminating for one of the teachers

ahem, actually ran a little extra, too. Trimmed it square and folded a
crane... looks pretty cool. Kept the folds ok, although it takes a
little work to hold it together.

The film is about 24 inches wide and I could make it even longer than
that... you might try a local copy shop to see if they could provide you
with some film... although it would have to be heated and rolled, the
film itself is worst than mylar. I haven't thought of trying to laminate
tissue or anything in it... has anyone else?

For Peggy Van Norman,  Kalei Lundberg,

I just found my small stash of books on this

report (may have another book or two and
some magazine articles, but don't know
where those are at the moment):

"What Are Fronds For?",
  by Wendy Arbeit,
  copyright 1985,
  University of Hawaii Press,
  ISBN 0-8248-0999-8,
  includes (among other non-ribbony things):
    Fish (two strips),
    Angelfish (four strips),
    Two Leaflet Ball,
    Three Leaflet Ball,
    Grasshopper (similar to the Chinese
      ribbon-and-wire Grasshopper),
    Pineapple (very different from the
      ribbon Pineapple),
    Rose (the usual ribbon rose,
      different tie-off),
    Bird v(two strips),
    Bird of Paradise (four strips,
      like the Ribbon Bird).

"Coconut Palm Frond Weaving",
  by William H. Goodloe,
  copyright 1972, sixth printing 1983,
  Charles E. Tuttle Company, Inc.,
  ISBN 0-8048 1061-3,
  includes (among other non-ribbony things):
    Bird (same as the Ribbon Bird).

"Polynesian Crafts Step by Step",
  by June Sasaki,
  copyright 1978, fifth printing - December 1988,
  The Petroglyph Press,
  ISBN 912180-33-1,
  includes (among other non-ribbony things):
    Hawaiian Bird (same as the Ribbon Bird),
    Pineapple (same as in "What Are Fronds For?").

These aren't exactly about ribbon-weaving,
but the birds, fish, and rose are done in both media,
and some of the other patterns could be adapted to
ribbon, so ...

I don't know if this would be of any use, but I recently came across
some
paper/film sold under the name of 'Cromatico' which although not
transparent,
is fairly translucent. It comes in about a dozen colours, sizes up to A2

I have a bought a few sheets of it, but haven't had a chance to make

<< Dear David:
        What! An erudite well-read man like yourself not aware of Ground Hog
Day
?
        Groundhogs are also known as woodchucks.  They are large rodents (5-7
pounds) which live in pastures and grasslands (and around suburban houses
nowadays.  They dig extensive burrows, the holes of which are a hazard for
farm animals and tractors when a leg or wheel falls in. Woodchuck males
leave their burrows and visit neighboring burrows about this time of year
to impregnate the female(s). (My guess is this is how the idea of Ground
Hog day got started.) Young are born about 6 weeks later.       My husband and
I used to live-trap the pregnant females for research purposes.  The young
were hand-reared and eventually a captive colony was established at Cornell
University.  Woodchucks get some similar liver diseases as humans and are
therefore good for research into cures.
        Woodchucks are edible. And probably have more meat on them than
hedgehog
s.
 I always think of hedgehogs as small. Are they?
  On February 2nd (my grandmother Sackett's birthday) the groundhog
supposedly comes out of his burrow to see if the sun is shining. Whether or
not it is foretells the state of our weather for the rest of the winter.
If he sees his shadow,six more weeks of  snow.  If not,spring will arrive
early.  I think that is the way it goes.  Does not make sense to me.
        Punxatauny, Pa (spelling?) has claimed this holiday as their name to
fam
e
and stages a big fete around the captive, boxed groundhog, Phil, coming out
to see what the weather forebodes.  There is a great philosophical movie
called Groundhog's Day with Bill Murray in it that you can watch to see
what it is like (sort of).
        By the way David, are you any relation to the famous Lister of
science?
Have wanted to ask for the longest time.

Freeville, New York, heart of the Finger Lakes.
where those male woodchucks will have a hard time even digging out from
under the snow to come out of their burrows.

Thanks to JPM for this fine description of the ground hog and ground hog day.
 I just turned seventy four on Sunday and I have never really known what
Ground Hog Day was.  I always knew that Origami would lead me to interesting
people who know all sorts of interesting things.  Live and learn!.....And so
Happy Ground Hog Day to all.  Dorigami

Ian,

    With rare exceptions (i.e. opening of tiny ear or eye slits) I use my
fingers, which drives everyone crazy, because I'm 6'1" 380lbs with big hands
! I do own some very good tweezers, bought form an electronic site on the
web, but mosty they sit in the box; I usually just use a toothpick or other
small pointed obeject  to open small folds, as I said before. (I folded a
crane from 1cm (maybe a bit smaller) paper)

Shalom
