To be honest, I've been staying out of this
because I don't know what to think. I did
receive the notification of a price increase,
but I really don't remember scrutinizing it.
I think my main reaction was that it sounded
as if JOAS would benefit from an additional
$10, and I was happy to give it to them. I
was influenced a) by the fact that I am lucky
enough so that $10 does not seem like a big
deal to me, and b) June Sakamoto's generous
offer to collect the additional fee and send
it on to JOAS. If I had been forced to go
through "normal" channels to send money to
Japan, I might have acted differently, but
I was not.

Koshiro Hatori's comments are most interesting
-- they imply that Sebastian Kirsch's understanding
of the notice may have been correct, and that
there was a subsequent change of plan. Other
postings have made what seems like a good case
for such a change (though, Joseph, I hope you
are feeling better since your posting -- it seemed
uncharacteristically ill-tempered); Sebastian
and others have made a good case for having any
such change communicated more effectively. Finally,
it has been noted that there is no guarantee that
any communication -- no matter how "effective" --
will not be misinterpreted.

The bottom line, I think, is that this is an
issue between those who feel ill-used and JOAS,
and that June Sakamoto's efforts to mediate may
have gotten her into hot water that she doesn't
deserve. I'm sorry for that -- I think she has done
a great service for those of us who are able to
accept her help, and I for one am very grateful.

I've found it helps to fold the top triangle of the ice-cream cone down as a
mountain rather than a valley. This and the rest of Paul's explanation really
take the sweat out of teaching the bird base. Try it.

Dear John and others,

>>Many find the petal fold in the Flapping Bird and Crane to be difficult

It sounds like John's class is pretty old and probably quite capable of
mastering the crane and frog.  I used to teach friends the frog in
university all the time.  I carried a small pad of stiff paper and we'd
fold frogs while waiting in restaurants and such :)  It was great fun
bouncing those little critters all over the place.

On the other hand I've had friends to whom origami remains a constant
mystery.  Some folks get it, some don't.  The crane is such a recognizable
origami icon and the feeling of accomplishment for a beginner to get it is
quite significant :)  I'd say go for it if your intuition tells you that
you've got a good crowd.

Another fun project is modular folds.  Since the individual units tend to
be very simple you can have each person fold a couple, and then combine the
units as a group to make a larger structure.  They have one unit to walk
away with and one more contributed to something really magickal :)

My $0.02 worth :)

I agree that the mountain crease makes the petal pivot easier than if
it was a valley. This works fine on the front petal, but I've found
that on the back petal, folding the 'ice cream' behind bulks up the
layers too much and so tends to create an inaccurately folded Bird
Base.  With the valley method, the paper doesn't become bulky.  So, on
balance (say, 55:45!), I prefer the slightly harder valley method.

This isn't just the way I teach the Bird base, I fold it this way
myself.

Subject: For former FOLD members (others may ignore)

As a former editor of FOLD, I just wanted to add a couple of comments.

First of all, in the very, very early years of FOLD (when Deborah Claypool
got the ball rolling), dues covered the cost of producing five extra
copies that could be used as "samples" for prospective members and donated
to the Friends (now OUSA) office; moreover, it was (I believe! I might be
wrong) the policy that, while supplies lasted, extra back issues could be
sold to nonmembers. or to new members just joining, to raise money to
offset the cost of producing and distributing FOLD.

I think I sold copies of the first few issues to Paul Krueger shortly
after he joined, and I remember reporting in one of my editor's notes that
a number of back issues had been sold to a former FOLD member. I believe
it was shortly after this sale that a number of you wrote in to protest
this policy, and thereafter no more issues were passed out or sold. But if
I remember correctly, this "don't pass, don't sell" policy was not in
effect during the first few years of FOLD's existence; quite the contrary.

I don't know anything about the EBay offering, but I wanted to point out
that the person selling it/them may have gotten FOLD through such a
transaction and might not have the faintest idea of what all the fuss is
about. And in case the seller is, in fact, a former FOLD member, I guess
my opinion is that I feel I'm on shaky ground saying they shouldn't be
trying to sell something that they paid for. It could very well be someone
who belonged to FOLD just for the first year or so and never heard any of
the debate about limiting readership to just the members.

Aha!

Whenever possible, I actually fold the bird base entirely by precreasing it.
I attribute this "insight" to Jeff Beynon. His booklets (check the BOS
website) are diagrammed in an interesting style. His style involves showing
a first step that is not a plain square but one that is precreased (to
varying degrees depending on the model), followed by various collapses and
additional creases. It can be somewhat intimidating, but it is very compact.
In any event, it was from one of his models that contained a precreased
birdbase that finally clicked my "Aha, I should do it that way, its the most
accurate, as I can control the fudge factor for every crease if needed, and
the collapse is the easiest, I don't have to make the hinge crease unless I
need/want to!"

Yes, Yes, I've read Engel's book, saw the crease patterns there and in
several other places. But it wasn't until I saw them in Beynon's booklets
that it clicked.

When I'm teaching to experienced folders, I have them precrease the
birdbase. When I'm teaching to inexperienced folders, I use the method
described in my previous message.

Amen to that! In fact, whenever I get to a complex or multi-layered,
delicate fold, I'll establish where the lines should fall, given drift for
paper thickness, and go back and work from the open sheet. Sometimes this
process ends up with a very tight model, so for action folds a lot of
'final touch-up' is necessary, but the result is most often more pleasing
than over-worked paper, as one tries to twist folds to suit the needs of the
diagram. Actually, I started doing this long after reading Engel's book, and
when I finally realized 'hey, this is why he shows the creasing pattern!' I
felt like a fool. Having played with origami in metal, it is often necessary
to pound in all the crease lines, and ultimately collapse the model into its
final shape, rather than going through the folding process as diagrammed for
paper, as that can over-work the material. All the best - c!!!

I thought this had been sorted out long ago, it's been over a week since I
last received a returned message from Terry. However I can assure you that my

Dear Roberto,

        thanks for the email and it is wonderful to hear from people
that now what my dad has done.  My father loved hearing from the
CDO and getting the books when you printed up his diagrams.  I
really want to thank you for putting up his models on the CDO
and I want to add if they are printed in something else (any of
his origami stuff) pleas send me a copy.

Thanks!

Subject: Re: Teaching an Origami Class and other miscellany

To continue the thread of teaching classes, I always try and utilise a wide
range of paper to instil the notion that origami is the world's most
convenient craft as you only need a bit of paper - any kind of paper.
With beginners I always teach a simple box or hat from newspaper (to carry
stuff home in afterwards), use thin magazine paper for bangers, and scrap
photocopy paper for envelopes to demonstrate 'useful' folds.  I usually
teach the simple triangular glider (sorry, forgot designer) made from
folding a square into a triangle, making a hem on the hypotenuse (The only
time I ever use that word), and curving it into a cylinder.  I do this when
the groups is getting restless, teaching it in a very quiet voice,
especially demonstrating the flying technique, so the noisy adults or kids
have to be quiet!
If I have no idea of a group's experience, I prepare copies of diagrams with
a completed model, and put them into clear plastic folders.  The group then
can chose what to fold, or experienced people can tackle something
themselves.  I always prepare tons more than I will need, just in case,
which means less preparation next time, plus the keen ones can take diagrams
home to try themselves.   If I get a snotty kid who knows it all, I either
rope them in to help teach other kids, give them a diagram to get on with,
or challenge them to duplicate what they have just made.

On a slightly different thread (sic), kimono folding has been discussed
lately.... To me there is a strong link to origami and many traditional
costumes, as people who have to spin and weave fabric by hand have tended to
minimise cutting away any precious cloth.  This also allows worn garments to
be unpicked and resewn more easily.  If you look at many folk costumes, they
are made from squares, rectangles or triangles, even traditional Western
garb.  Sewing long straight seams also is much quicker by hand - in fact,
the wrist action for sewing kimono is quite different to what I was used to,
with the needles 'gathering' the fabric and pulling through several stiches
in one go.  Folding kimono is also very easy, and once folded, they can be
laid in often beautifully patterned paper 'envelopes' of a standard size for
very easy storage.

Finally, on behalf of all Australian folders, I would like to extend our
sadness and shock at Perry Bailey's death.  His touch was global, and he
will be sorely missed.

Unfortunately, I'm moving from St. Louis to Philadelphia in May and won't

If anyone in the area is interested, I'll pass along their names and

There's no restriction on sales of these wonderful ties. I'll check if
we have any in stock...

Please don't use that address, since it was only temporary. Use the

Subject: origami candle

Hi,
This is in response to Joel Hoffman's search for an origami candle. I'm on
digest mode so this may be redundant by now. I know of two others (besides
Michael Antonette's suggestion of the candle in Origami Omnibus).

There are candles in Origami Made Easy (Kasahara) and Origami Paperfolding
for Fun (Kenneway). The former is still in print. Coincidentally I was
looking through these same two books last night.
Jennifer.

Subject: Where to get Origami ties!

I purchased (last week) two beautiful ties from the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts.  They are silk and have various sizes of flapping cranes all over,
some with patterned paper.  One is navy, one is red.  You can see them
on-line and purchase them at:

http://www.mfa.org/shop

Both were 19.99 and as I said before, I'm very pleased with how they look,
very tasteful.

You can also purchase beautiful BOS ties, deep blue with an attractive
white logo, from the BOS website. Only 5 plus postage....

Subject: Re: Paper Packet diagrams

I save unusual diagrams from paper packets... in fact, I have been known
to buy paper BECAUSE of the models featured on the paper (case in point,
a pack of paper that had sushi, an ice cream sundae, chopsticks in a
holder, a couple of pancakes, a spoon, and a few other food items. I
also got some dinosaurs by Kawahata...)

I leave them in the paper packs until the paper is gone, then I put them
in a "Trapper" in a three ring binder.

The duplicates I get I tend to give to the kids at school.

Sometimes the translations are hilarious! I don't think they take as
much care with them on the packs as they do with books!
