Subject: origami sighting

Last night's program The Panel (which is a live Australian humorous 'chat'
show), one of the hosts described a documentary he has just made about two
men who travel this great contest "manipulating their genitals a la
origami"...... not going to take that any further!

Just to add to the old thread of stupid requests, whenever I folded publicly
in Japan, giggling school girls would always stand in wonder then ask in bad
English if I knew how to fold a crane.  I normally maintained that I was
Icelandic and spoke no English (i.e. the odds of them speaking Icelandic
being somewhat remote).
Finally, not to flame, but I find those gold origami pictures in the classic
cranes page http://www.origami-tsuru.com/ rather tacky.  When I get more
than my two boxes full, the dustiest ones get chucked out... as Michael
pointed out, having a child around using your precious paper and chewing
models, your perspective completely changes!!

Happy folding

Subject: Re: teaching models

I have a few models I like to teach: each has different reasons for being
on my list.

The Crane: though not easy for tyros, it means so much to me that I can
teach it with love and people can't fail to catch on. This one has such a
rich context, all over the world. A great connector of people.

Astro Tube: from Steven Weiss' Wings and Things. Wonderful flying device
that is a complete surprize. Can be made quickly and is many sizes, from
figer ring size to three pound coffee can size. Kids really love it,
great outdoors, and not too destructive indoors either.

Concorde: I always call this Harbin's Looper Plane. I saw this (as a John
Cunliffe diagram i think) in BOS mag #90 (Oct 1981), but it's from
Harbin's Origami Compendium (sheet 6). Another kid pleaser, and again
with that surprize looper trick. Very elegant, though the sharp nose can
poke your little eyes out if you're not careful!

Traditional Crown: Quick, and makes a good size hat from not too big a
sheet. As in Paul Jackson's Classic Origami, page 15. Hats are good
because the product of the fold is a public advertizement for others to
ask "Where'd you get that hat?" Contagion ensues!

I think the best teaching folds are those which the student can gain
mastery of quickly enough to teach it to someone else before too long,
links in the chain! It's when I teach something that I really learn it
myself. The folds also have to be wonderful enough to compel "outsiders"
to want to be on the "inside".

Subject: Modular origami

I've just finished adding a few pages about modular origami to my site at
www.mizushobai.freeserve.co.uk/

The first page is text heavy and contains a definition and technical notes.
The definition has changed a bit since I last posted it here. It now reads:

>Modular origami is a two stage paperfolding technique which uses multiple
sheets of paper.
>In the first stage each sheet of paper is folded into a module.
>In the second stage the modules are assembled into an integrated shape or
form.

and is illustrated to make the meaning clear to someone who hasn't met
modular origami before.

I feel this is simpler and more accurate than the first
version. In particular it doesn't imply that a modular assembly must be
stable (just that it must be integrated - to distinguish it from an
arrangement.)

Thanks to everyone who commented and helped. The remaining
mistakes are still my own!

The technical notes are more extensive than those I posted previously -
but I won't bore you by quoting them in full. Please look them up if you're
interested.

The other new pages are mainly diagrams and are about a very simple - but
surprisingly complex - modular family called the Simplex Modules. This
series of pages will be extended further when I've got time.

Better yet, get a pair of hamsters. They have an uncanny knack for
turning excess origami into finely shredded bedding material. And you
really don't have to worry about having more origami than two hansters
can manage, as their rate of reproduction far surpasses the production
rate of the most prolific folders.

The problem of excess hamsters is another matter :o)

Hi everyone,

   I had a tough day at work today, so I decided to reward myself with a new
Origami book:-) Is there anyone out there who can tell me about the flower
books by Yoshihide Momotani? I don't know how many there are, but it seems I
could order "Alpine Flowers", "Wild Flowers", "Flowers in Early Spring",
"Flowers in Early Summer" or "Flowers in Winter". What I would like to know:
1. do the models look somewhat like the real thing? 2. do the books provide
instructions on connecting flower, stem and leaf in a somewhat sturdy way?
3. how hard is it to get the models right? 4. what else would you like to
tell me about the book(s)?:-)

   Thanks as always,

Subject: Montroll's dollar bill book

To all,

I was talking to John Montroll the other night. He has gotten the Blues
(proof copies) from his printer for his dollar bill book. This means that
the book will be out in time for the OUSA convention.

To the comments made on the list,  technically, the book is produced by
Antroll and distributed by Dover. That is why there are two names associated
with John's later publications.

I got to see the rough drafts last year and the models are looking good. I
especially like the Billausaurus (apatausaurs). It seems to be a favorite
for waitress with small children at home. There were models of an owl and
penguin in the book. I am sorry but I can not remember more of the
selection.

I am sure that there are members in the DC area who got to test fold a few
of the models and may be able to provide more insight.

Like all of his later books the models have been extensively test folded by
all levels of folders. The beta testing has resulted in changes to the
diagrams or in some cases to the model themselves to make them more
accessible. I think that this is a good thing. I can remember in the days
before computers when the rough diagrams were scrawled randomly on a page in
any available space and you had to look to the numbers to find the next
step. The hand drawings severly limited reworking of models.

I am sure that you will enjoy the book when it is released.

Back in 1995, my college roommate Steve gave me a tie from the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts that also features the folded cranes.  It's this
beautiful dark red silk tie with hundreds of cranes made from various
colors and patterns of paper.  I wonder if they still carry it?  Did you
happen to see the tie when you were there?

Steve's father had bought the tie for him as a gift when he returned from
a semester in Japan.  After I folded a foil-backed Maekawa demon for
Steve, he decided to pass along the tie to me.  Hopefully, some day I'll
pass it along to any little Bimals or Bimalettes who decide to take up the
folding arts as an avocation.

Subject: Re: Momotani's Flower Books

Tina,

I'm a newcomer to this list but I've spent hours (days) exploring the origami
sites on the web. Over the last couple of years I seem to have narrowed my
paper craft interests to origami and Japanese paper dolls.  It's a natural
move since geometry was one of my favorite subjects--a long time ago.  Last
month I came home from San Francisco with several new origami books and a
PILE of paper.  I didn't even realize that three of the books (all in
Japanese) were written by Momotani until some reference was made to
Momotani's flowers--I think on the Oriland web site.

In my opinion, most of the flowers in Autumn Flower Origami (1994) and Winter
Flowers of Origami (1995) are more stylized than real.  They range from
simple to fairly complex, arranged in order of difficulty.   Flowers of Japan
in Origami (1996)  includes some beautiful flowers, more real than the other
two, and none extremely simple.  Most of the leaves in all the books are what
I call "creative" origami because many of the folds don't have to be placed
in an exact spot as in making boxes, etc.  The pictures are mostly clear
enough to understand, although there is no explanation (in English) on how to
hook all the parts together.  I think you just have to work it out yourself
with wire and floral tape.  Also, I have had to do a lot of experimenting to
figure out the size paper needed for each part in order for the flower to
have the right proportions with the leaves--no suggestions on paper type or
size given in the book in English.  Many of the finished flowers are turning
out larger than what they appeared to be in the book.  So far I have just
practiced on various parts, but I hope to create a whole plant soon.  I'm
having a lot of fun with these books and I think you will, too.

I could email you privately if you would like me to list the Table of
Contents in the three books.

Hi Bimal and Larry,

I bought the silk crane tie at Boston's MFA about 5 or 6 years ago.  It
was a little pricey, at $40.00, but it's my favorite tie.  It also
reminds me of the wonderful special exhibit of Winslow Homer paintings,
the reason we went. Of course, I try to avoid wearing ties, but
occacionally one has to wear something more than jeans and wet suit. I
haven't been to the MFA since, so I don't know if they still carry it.
It's sort of a maroon red with dozens of multicolored origami cranes.

Cheers,

Terry Rioux

Hello all on the Origami-l list :)

I've just subscribed and wanted to say a quick 'hello' :)  I'm Lar deSouza
- some of you I've already 'met' on the newsgroups.

Aside from a perpetual passion for the art of origami, I am an
illustrator/cartoonist living in Canada, a big fan of animation and sf/f.
I have not yet hit the creative high to design origami models but I have
accomplished many complex folds and have a special fondness for masks and
face folds.

I'd like to throw out a quick question as well, and my apologies if I've
missed an info site with this answer.  This past Christmas I folded Robert
Lang's Cuckoo Clock for a friend (from the Complete Origami).  I did it
twice, once from plain paper and once from foil backed wrapping paper
(8"x56").  Both times my final clock had the colour on the inside of the
casing instead of the outside.  The bird and clock face were fine.  I
figure I've missed a fundamental step or there's a misprint in my book.
The Origami Errata and Hints site didn't cover this problem, and any
thoughts would be appreciated :)

Thanks for your time :)

Hi rae,

The head part is basically a small frog base. If you fold it correctly, you
should end up with two small flaps pointing backwards. Fold the tips of
these to the outer lateral side of the head, at about 45 degress. Now the
fun part! You should be able to slip a finger nail or a pin inside the front
of these flaps and open it slightly. This reveals the inside colour and
gives george his shifty look ( the actual George soft toy is far sweeter
looking). If you cant get it, practice using a frog base.

All the best,

These are the kinds of models that make you think...hey, this isn't just a
"paint-by-numbers" craft--there is a real sense of artwork going on here,

Just what the world needs:  another origami elephant.

Sadly, the model is rather thick in the head (!) when made with a dollar bill.
     I
recommend using a large 3x7 rectangle of origami paper or wet-folding it.

On the other hand, when made from a dollar bill, the model has cute white feet,

Aloha Lar deSouza,

It sounds like you may have folded
Robert Lang's "Cuckoo Clock"
wrong side out.

Look at the beginning of the instructions
to see which diagram color represents the
colored side of the paper. Sometimes,
'shaded' means the white side.

I think Robert Lang's Cuckoo Clock is
supposed to end up colored, with a white
face, and colored hands, and maybe a
colored cuckoo on a white base. But I could
be mis-remembering. I've only folded it  once,
and can't remember whether the paper was
all white, or what.

I do remember a lot of "What's that mean?
That's impossible! There's no such flap!
... Oh! ...". Look very very carefully at those
diagrams, counting layers, looking where
the arrows are really going, etc.

Aloha,
Kenneth M. Kawamura

>From looking over the diagrams, it seems that if the bird and clock
face are folded correctly (partially colored bird, white clock face with
colored hands), the rest of the model should be OK also.  The steps from
59-71 which involve assembling the case of the clock are folded from the
remainder of the original rectangle.  If you've folded the clock correctly
up to step 56 such that you have the correct colors for the clock face and
hands, you should also have a long, single-layered flap with the color
side down.  I'm referring to the rectangular flap in step 56 that gets
valley folded on an existing crease to reveal part of the colored side in
step 57.

I realize this probably isn't much help.  It's just that looking at the
diagrams, there are no intentional color-change folds except for the
swivel in step 10 which makes the hands of the clock colored, the
series of folds between 45 and 48 that make the bird partially colored,
and the steps from 50 to 52 that "frame" the cuckoo's perch. I
can't find a step that would explain how the case of the clock could be
accidentally folded to reveal the white side.  Use reference steps often:
does the model appear color side up in steps 59, 60, 62, and 63?  If so, I
think you've gotta be on the right track.  Of course, as was mentioned
by someone else, make sure you start with the white side of the paper up.
I hope my ramblings made some sense.  Best of luck!

Going from memory I seem to be okay upto step 56, at which point I notice
that the large remaining long rectangle is wrong side round!  Yoicks!
There's no leftover paper - everything finishes out correctly, but with the
colour paper on the inside.  I'm wondering if I'm making an error back in
like step 38.  I have a notation in my book that the pointed flap on the
right angles up instead of down.  However going from step 38, that's the
logic of the shape movement.  Could I be doing something wrong?  Should I
not be simply valley folding, but pulling out the paper or something?  Step
39 appears to be wear things are supposed to swivel around, but it's not
rocket science :)P  I can't see how I've been getting it wrong.

Many thanks for your thoughts and suggestions! :)

I believe this is the second book (I have this one).  The other one is
"Let's Fold Spirals" or some similar title.  I second your comments on the
butterfly and elephant head :)  That was the pattern that enticed me into
buying :)

I'm also interested in what level you teach! :)  I don't teach myself,
although I have gone into my kids schools to do the occasional class to
kids.  There my model choices vary widely from grade to grade.  Some years
you get kids who can't seem to fold a piece of paper in half neatly, and
other times a very young child will surprise you :)  I have a friend who is
a grade 2 teacher and he gets amazing results from his kids :)

Subject: [NO] burning of paper charms (long, was Re: Another origami sighting)

Thank you for the book reference. That's interesting.

(The following is from what I think I remember reading,
or hearing from other people. I could be mistaken.)

The Mecho and Ocho origami butterflies are
traditional Japanese wedding decorations,
but the only burning of paper charms I remember
is in Chinese funeral rites.

I have some vague notion that Shinto rites
(native Japanese religion) use burning,
hanging in the wind, or immersion in running water
as methods of either spiritual or symbolic purification.

[Speaking of "purification", the Zoroastrians (Parsees
in India, the religion originated in Persia) believe
'the place where a body is buried is unclean',  or
something like that, so they built "Towers of Silence",
tall charnel houses where dead bodies are exposed to
carrion-eating birds for disposal. (I'm not sure what they
do with the bones. Burn them I suspect, and put the ashes
somewhere. Maybe the ashes are considered "clean".)

There was, you should pardon the expression, a stink,
some years ago, in India, when high-rises were built
that over-looked some of the "Towers of Silence",
revealing a "dirty little secret". The new neighbors were
unhappy to look out their windows or whatever and
discover that, in the city, with all the people and noise,
the vulture-type birds, Kites they're called,
were scared away, so the bodies had been
mummifying and piling up, unmentioned, "out of
sight, out of mind", until the high-rises were built.
Not sure what was eventually done about it. ]

I forget what the Mexican Indians do with the bark
paper cutout religous images of their native deities.
Maybe they're burnt after they're used, as an acceptable
means of disposing of the figures. I'm pretty sure burning
those was not part of the rites. Sorry, I'm too lazy to go
check the book.

Getting back to Japanese wedding ceremonies and
origami, back 3 or 4 years ago, when I went back to
Hawaii for my sister's wedding, I was surprised to discover
a different "Thousand Cranes" tradition I'd never heard of,
where the bride's family and/or friends either pitch in and
help make, or buy, a large, framed, picture, sort of a mosaic,
only instead of tiles, it uses a thousand cranes, flattened out
and arranged in overlapping groups, to "paint" a picture.

There are even companies that specialise in making these
pictures and advertise in the classifieds in the newspaper.

My sister acted as if this was an old custom, but I'd never run
into it before and think it may be recent, like the 'modern'
"tradition" of diamond wedding rings in Japan, or the "Shaka"
hand sign in Hawaii (sort of a Hawaiian version of the
"Black Power" fist), which didn't exist when I was growing up
there.

Those Thousand Cranes pictures, remind me of the pictures
created by Japanese chefs and caterers from over-lapping
thin slices of food of different colors on a large plate or tray.
Now that's a garnish.

(Then again, I just like the idea of playing with my food. :-D
I love the idea of applying kirigami and origami techniques

[Isn't it amazing what you can make a picture with?

Threads in a weaving, grains of sand, alphabetic letters,
pieces of paper, sliced food,  tiles, beads, porcupine quills,
computer printouts, flashing lights on a moving display,
photomosaics, moire patterns, cutouts, silhouettes, stencils,
popups, punched holes, people standing in a field,
fertilizer on a lawn, flowers in a garden, rocks, intarsia,
inlay, cameos, ...

Hmm, maybe I'll make me another list, when I get back
from shopping. Feels like time to do another memory
dump and try to organize my thoughts about pictorial crafts.]

Your 'Origami Fantasy' pages look great, though they took a little
finding!... but it's funny how great minds think alike.  I've just
finished updating my own web site and have included exhaustive
diagrams and notes for *fool*proof methods on how to fold the Kawasaki
'Rose' and the Skillman 'Jackstone'.  After testing them, I'm
confident that even beginners can now successfully fold these models
from the instructions.

Enjoy!

In the Sunday, April 2, 2000 comic section, Lola's son says:

Mother, I'm glad you enjoyed your origami class at the senior's center.

The next scene shows the whole family standing about this gigantic
"dinosaur" creature (made of the newspaper), and saying:

But some of us hadn't actually READ the Sunday paper yet.

Subject: Origami sighting and advertising use

Having just left PCOC, I arrived at San Jose Airport to fly with American
Airlines. At my gate, I saw a banner for the airline with a giant origami
crane on it.  They had no idea how wonderful it was to see origami in the
real world after my first very conference with total origami immersion!

Very cool!

Yes I really liked Origami Fantasy diagrams you posted up on your
website.  Maybe you could also scan a few more books and put
the diagrams there also.

Dr. Stephen fooled me, too! Couldn't find it anywhere, but anyway that was
the first time I looked at some things I'm going to fold when I get a
chance.

The reference to poisson d'avril reminds me of a French class I had at the
U. One  girl in the front row taped a paper fish to the elderly professor's
jacket everytime he turned his back. He had no idea what was wrong with the
class that day.

It's the French equivalent of "April Fools!", hence the fish on the back story
     from an earlier post. Great idiom, huh? All the best - c!!!
