  Hi Everyone,

      What's everybody folding these days? The list has been pretty quiet for
     the last couple of weeks, must be everyone is folding feverishly.

      So here's a proposal to generate some traffic: Simply post the name (and
     any other particulars you feel necessary) of

      WHATEVER MODEL YOU FOLDED LAST BEFORE READING THIS POST

  whether it was 5 minutes before, or five days. Just your most recent effort.
     Lurkers, this means you!

      I'll start: Six Piece Burr puzzle by Robert J. Lang, from OUSA Annual
     Collection 1999. Very cool model, makes a satisfying Stellated Rhombic
     Dodecahedron when assembled.

  Next?

Subject: Quickie: last five days

In the last five days, I have been folding the 6 piece rodadenron, Edwin
Corrie's pig, Joseph Wu's When Pigs Grow Wings and Fly, The Clown from the
Biddle's book and a past OUSA convention book, a Killer Whale from ORU #2
diagrams only; an easy penquin.

I have folded stegosaurus on demand since about 1984/5. It is sort of a
conglomeration of all of the versions of Montroll's instructions, 84
convention book, Kasahara, and John's dino book. I prefer bits and piece
from all of the models.

As mentioned a few moments ago, Fuse Tomoko has one called
"mascot monkey" in her "Simple Traditional Origami." It's a
fairly simple 2-d model (bird-base based, if memory
serves.) It's kida cool, 'cause you can hook them together

     printed on them that Julian Serrano had hooked from the garbage can
2-Pikachu (Julian and Jamal like to bring illegal trading cards to school)
3-a butterfly (Charde choose this one)

I also began the "Electra" modular unit diagrammed in a small newish Paul

I usually get really good results with Tomoko Fuse's modulars in Unit
origami. One of my favorite ones to do is the thirty piece Little
Turtle. I have gotten it to stay together without glue (I think - I
generally use a little glue just to be "safe" since people invariably
want to hold it and it is something of a pain to get together). I know
the 12 and 24 pieces stay together. I also like the Bird's Head
Tetrahedron, it stays together really well.

HI everyone, I read the note. So here it is .This last model I did was a
hummingbird . I followed the instructions in " ORIGAMI FROM ANGELFISH TO ZEN
"  by  " ENGEL".
However, I used a special paper I made from instructions I read from many
books . I used the general principles I sifted from the information. I call
it the sandwitch paper or if you have a better name that would be nice.
What you do is :1st material= a type of rice paper one colour /  foil  /
and in another colour  rice paper . A can of spray adhesive.  2nd =  tape
the foil down to board .3rd  =  spray the adhesive on the foil . 4th = start
at one end  of an edge and stick the rice paper to it carefully  .
 lowering - smoothing - lowering - smoothing until you reach the other end .
5th cut tape  turn over and tape again. 6th repeat 4th step  . 7th   cut
tape .  Then  cut edges  square  to accommodate  purposes . This was very
suitable for this model.    From  Charles  to everyone   .  try it out..

Subject: Last Model I folded!

The last model I folded (excluding the Origami class I teach) is Joseph Wu's
Elephant Head.  That doesn't sound right.

While I was in Vancouver for the monthly Origami Meeting, I ask Joseph to
teach me his famous Elephant.  We didn't get around to doing the body - not
enough time.  It was the longest, most difficult folds I came across.  It's
even harder than folding John Montroll's 3 Headed Dragon.  But with his
personal one on one touch, the model turned out ok.  Will I be able to
repeat this feat, not a chance.  But, there is hope.  I hear the diagram
will be made available sometime...soon I hope.

One more thing I like to add.  At first glance, I thought the elephant's
head would be easy to fold as it has that smooth look to it.  However, once
we started folding, I realized it was a mistake on my part as there were
definitely steps that were hidden.  Or perhaps I have not learned the
technique.  Even if there are diagrams, be aware, it may take several
practice to get it right.  One of the biggest lesson I learn was that when I
folded that particular model, the feel of the paper was very interesting.
We folded "elephant Hide?"  (Sorry, I can't seem to remember the name).  It
was sort of stiff, definitely good to wet fold and also having Joseph there
to correct and fine tune the details really helps.  No diagrams will ever be
able to explain the feelings that I had when I folded that elephant.

So, for those of you that are dying/itching to get your hands on the
elephant model.  Send your emails to Joseph, tell him I sent you...hehehehe.

Joseph, if you are reading this, I hope this generates some mail for you as
I know you've been quite bored.

Thank you all for your ears.

Hi all,

I folded a clowns face twice, to put it inside a button meant to hold robes

not know where this model originally came from. Maybe one of the other
Dutch folders on the list knows: it is in the booklet made for an Ori-dag
in Sittard, 12 november 1988. It probably came from a NOA magazine.

I've tried this approach, using an inside out water-bomb to hide the flaps.

Traditional turtle (pg. 141 of Steve and Megumi Biddle's THE NEW ORIGAMI,

eBay is by far the biggest Internet auction company, based in California.

I doubt that it can be found elsewhere on a commercial Internet site (I

Yes, but take account of the rarity of this book before deciding about the
"reasonable" price. Anyway, most bidders on eBay "origami books" come from
this list, and if they feel the book is worthy then the price will rise by
itself..... ;-)

Also a further scan of one of the pages will help. Be careful to reduce the

I'm still a baby doctor, having completed my house officer training, I'm
doing Locum work until I can find a suitable surgical training rotation
program. So at the moment, I'm still a jack of all trades and master of
none. Rather alarmingly, I'm interested in Urology.

As for the CV, a small paragraph on the last page lists 'non medical
interests', with origami, judo, football and cricket being the subjects
mentioned. I usually have a Kawahata Pegasus or something equally impressive
in my pocket, should the question ever arise during an interview. (although
I've never been asked, is that a pegasus in your pocket or are you pleased
to see me, fnar fnar)

Bennett:
"I agree with everything in Mitchell's essay, but he uses the word
"stability" as meaning only that the pieces stay connected. A higher degree
of excellence is achieved if the shape resists deformation under gentle
pressure. This quality is "rigidity" and should be considered in addition to
stability."

Bennett and I try to use "rigidity" as a criterion for models we

Subject: T-Rex Skeleton by Yoshino: Head

Hi folders,

I have a problem to join hard upper and lower Jaw to create the head
of T-Rex Skeleton by Issei Yoshino. There are two point where the
upper and lower Jaw should be weld togheter:
1) nose of the upper jaw with first two incisors (the two most front
tooths) of the lower jaw
2) chin of the upper jaw with chin of the lower jaw

Note that upper jaw is not only the maxilla and lower jaw is not only
the mandible ... for this reason in the upper jaw piece there is
mandible included and in the lower jaw there are incisors included.

Well, when I put lower jaw in upper jaw I should obtain a strong union
... but in my model this is not true because double chin ("upper jaw
chin part" and "lower jaw chin part") is not enough to held jointly
the two jaws. Does anyone suggest me something? I've tried to modify
nose to join it strongly with incisor but the incisor are too
horizontal. I modify nose folding the nose point revers inside,
instead of the more lovely shape it has in Yoshino instruction... but,
as I said, it was useless because the incisor don't permit a solid
junction with "my" nose reversed inside.

I'm folding this skeleton from 21 pieces of grey Elephant skin paper.
I think it would be a good coiche but does anyone suggest me another
type of paper for skeletons?

Thank you very much,
Lorenzo

Subject: fool-proof origami

When I teach classes to beginners, I like to teach fool-proof models,
by which I mean models that don't rely on getting the right angles or
proportions.  For example, Montroll's _Origami for the Enthusiast_,
the Pegasus and even the Grashopper are foolproof.  If you get
anything at all, you'll get something pretty close to what it should
be.  By contrast the (seemingly "easier") vulture, ostrich or toucan
are often so mangled as to be unrecognizable.  (The is probably
related to the difference between "hard" and "complex."  Complex isn't
necessarily hard.)  Likewise, K's rose is complex, but if you get it,
you get a rose.

I'm looking for nice, fairly simple "foolproof" models.  What I
usually are: crane, frog, "sampan," gondola, chrysanthemum, lily, K
rose, and Montroll's elephant from _Animal Origami for the
Enthusiast_.  (I happen to love Elias's skier, but people find it very
hard and not worth the effort.)

Anyone know of other nice "foolproof" models.  I'd especially like
simple ones, perhaps birds or other flowers.

OK

This has had me giggling all morning! Thanks. What a lovely image! And so
much easier than fiddling around fitting them together yourself.

Reminds me of .... do you know the computer game called Lemmings? - well,
I've long wanted to do an origami animation where all these little figures
come pouring across the floor, grab hold of one edge of the paper, pull it
across - like one of those giant flags on a football pitch - and stamp all
over the crease to flatten it down etc. Now I can also see them carrying
modules around like leaf carrier ants.

Good idea.

Michael LaFosse taught a model at the conclusion of the BOS 30th
anniversary convention in York. I could not hear the name of the
creator, but the model has stuck in my mind for its cleverness.

I'm not sure of the proper name for the model, so I'll dub it "Kissing
Lips". A brilliant action model unlike other kissing models I've folded.

I would be grateful if anyone can remember both the name of the creator
and the model!

With very best folding wishes,

Paul

It's been a lot of fun to read what everyone else is folding so here
goes mine:
-Omega Stars
-New Flower twist or whatever by Chris Palmer
-Tried the Jackstone, but lost patience and quit.
-Sonobe units for 30 and 12 piece objects.

I folded the sonobe module someone on this list posted about last night.

http://shimura.math.berkeley.edu/~helena/origami/sonobe/

It was a blast! I am going to do another one today with better paper.
Whoever sent this along and did this web page - many thanks! I hope
to find more that work as well as this one did.

Also, the icosehedron I did from Origami Omnibus (204-205) went
together fine with glue. I didn't enjoy this as much as the sonobe,
but it was still alot of fun.

Thanks all!

Michael

Some suggestions:
1) Traditional "Iris"
2) Kassahara's "Crow" ("Origami Made Easy" pp 60-61)
3) Robert Neale's "Dragon"
4) Sonobe "Cube"

Anyone know of other nice "foolproof" models.  I'd especially like
simple ones, perhaps birds or other flowers.

Thanks.
