Shell design by Tomoko Fuse
Medium: 30x30 double tissue paper
CP: Here
This is the hermit crab from the CP a few days ago. The layers got very thick, especially towards the opening of the shell. Especially since there is a brown stripe running down the middle of the shell. Perhaps I can fold the edges of the white side paper underneath so I can get a good spiral effect...
I also don't really have a good locking mechanism - I just curved the two edges of the shell underneath to "lock" it. The shell is of course the Navel shell from Tomoko Fuse's SPIRAL book. The shell isn't exactly 3D, which is what I prefer for hermit crab designs, but it works nevertheless, as I had this shell in mind when designing.
This picture shows the "navel" of the shell design.
Deboxing my Red Jasmine doll. After removing the backing from box, her skirt is partially freed from the backing to show her shoes and pants. You can see that one of her legs is tied to the doll stand, and the back of her skirt is folded and hiked above the tie. Then she is freed from the backing and the stand, and laid down on the floor.
I purchased the D23 Exclusive Limited Edition Red Jasmine 17'' Doll on her release day, Saturday August 15, 2015, from the Disney Store in the D23 Expo 2015. She is a red colored and enhanced variant of the LE 5000 Teal Jasmine, which I pre-ordered on August 4, 2015, and will be released on October 13, 2015. She is LE 500, and costs $119.95.
My doll is #226 of 500. She is such a beautiful doll, and is by far my favorite item from the Expo. She is on my desk right now, so I can admire her beauty up close as I work on my computer.
One aspect of Jasmine that I haven't mentioned before, and wasn't obvious to me when she was still boxed, is the distinct golden tone of her torso. Her head and arms have a more normal pinkish tan color. It's almost as if she got the Goldfinger treatment on her torso, both front and back. By the way, her painted on panties are gold colored, and not red as you might have guessed.
Her hair is massive and very heavy. It is permanently styled into a fancy puffy pony tail, the bottom third of which is heavily gelled to keep its curl. The upper two thirds are nice and soft. The weight of her hair make her tilt to the back and to her right, unless she is carefully posed and balanced in her stand. I didn't like the way the stand was placed behind her skirt, severly crimping it in the back. Fortunately, the slit at the waist of the skirt/pants combo was large enough to place the top of the display stand through it, so the post is inside of her skirt, instead of behind it.
I'm don't know if all the Red Jasmine dolls have the same golden tint, but I don't mind it too much. It gives her an otherworldly aura, and in my mind doesn't detract from the beauty of her face and outfit and jewelry.
I will post photos of Red Jasmine boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed.
Folding camera for roll film size 616 , made in Germany between 1934-1939 . This model with round transport knob , reflecting and folding frame finder until 1937 .
Here's the next installment of new work from my recent pendant swap. I call these my Fan Fold Pendants and I had fun coming up with these designs. They look very striking when worn and they have the simple clean bold look I love. I have another variation I will show you tomorrow. I also have made a few other prototypes of asymmetrical versions I can show in the future. Tell me your favorite and let now if you'd be interested in a tutorial on this design/technique.
Last February, I folded again a few older works (from 2012), in order to take new pictures and exhibit them, as the original ones were left somewhere around the world (maybe in Tokyo? maybe at EMOZ? maybe given as a gift to a friend? I don't remember now).
In particular, I folded a better rendition of each of these 3 works (Hexagonal Tessellation of Dodecagons #1, #2, #3, designed in Dec. 2012).
Then I asked a friend to take some pictures, and he was playing with macros and my "lightbox" (a plastic panel + his reptile lamp...)

Gorilla
Designed and folded by me.
Folded from Gray Elephant Hide paper, 30*30 cm.
I designed this model before some days for the Nicolas Terry challnge, design a simple and realisric gorilla in 2 hours.
It took me an hour todesign this model includ the refolde from brown raino hide paper - the first version.
After i improved the model and did more 3D in the body and the belly - the fold in the black Elephant hide paper, 30*30 cm.
The fold in gray is the final version, i added fingers in the hands, improved the head, and changed the shape in the body.
You can see the progress in the photo.
I really enjoyed in this challnge! :-)
I think the result looks pretty good.
The shape of this pendant is of course from my "Shapes" book. In fact it is the same design as the pendant on the books cover (one of my favorites!). The surface technique is derived from the fan-fold technique I've been showing you, if you can believe that! It's very easy, organic, unique and has lot's of dimension. I'll include this surface technique in the fan-fold tutorial.
I use a lot of flash in the studio, so really appreciate natural light when I see it.
I wanted to create a calmer image, which is why I decided to shoot in black & white using the Acros simulation.
In 2023, I folded Square Interlace Tessellation from a 64×64 grid for the first time. This resulted in exactly 100 molecules (10×10), and two grid units of margin around the edges.
I used hand-made paper from India that I received courtesy of Mimansa Vahia.
in the comment section of the triphilia I was asked how I achieved all those triangle twists being so nice and clean. I said that it's mostly a matter of training but it's also a bit about the technique. I wrote a rather lengthy answer to dan and I'll just copy it into the first comment below.
then andy was asking, too, which frankly quite surprised me seeing as he's been tesselating for so long and doing it absolutely marvelously. anyway, I thought I'd just take a video of me folding the model. that video's in real time, so you can have a educated guess at how long it takes me to fold these models. (the video even shows me in "concentrated and kinda fast folding" mode. usually I think I'm slower :) ).
oh yeah, flickr only allows video lengths up to 3:00, so I cut the film. if you want to see the whole thing I have just opened a youtube channel for that. it was a surprisingly arduous effort (rather slow internet connection), so I hope it's worth it... ;-P
so the long video is here.
This pendant kindof emerged into something I hadn't imagined...and I then fell in love with it. Decided to keep it for myself...when I wear it, I get more comments on it than any other piece I've worn :) Again, hope it's okay to like my own work....too often, people think there is something wrong with that, which is nuts, really. I mean, if you don't love your own work (or feel it's somehow wrong to say so), then why do it? :-) grin...
Photos from our visit to several of Andy Goldsworthy's sheepfold project installations dotted around Cumbria. This is the Riverstone Fold at Deadman's Gill near Middleton-in-Teasdale.
This small rover is designed to fit into the CS Explorer planetary survey craft. Once folded down it can be stored in the rear of the craft.
It's also my entry for the FebROVERy group!

Precreasing is kind of tedious but does not take long. As usual with flagstones, there is no actual collapsing method, you just arrange the creases in their adequate direction and flatten all at once.

Medium: 15x15 cm Korean Hanji
I'm not gone guys! I stumbled across a woodworker on youtube who made a "red herring", so I decided to make my origami rendition of this literary pun. I was inspired by Tetsuya Gotani's Trout, which used a frog base to make a fish with all the fins, so I decided to challenge myself to use a frog base as well to see how far I can go. The anal fin should have been more pushed back near the tail, and it was a challenge to shape, but I think the end result looks fantabulous. ;)
The folded petals of a wildflower were photographed at Seabranch Preserve State Park near Stuart, Florida.
Folding knife by Honey Badger. Done for the Crazy Tuesday "Geometry" challenge, but then I went with something else. Converted to B&W.

Too busy with school to design things these days...
And of course the day before I have to leave back to college is a rainy day, so I could not use sunlight and had to use something else instead.
I believe this model is well folded but poorly designed. It's just a graft for the arms(wings>) and legs. If I showed the CP, anyone can fold it. It's that easy. Actually now that I think about it it's not exactly my best designed folded model ever despite it being closed belly. The photo and model look sloppier than I originally thought. This is what months of no designing does to you.
I need to find a way to hide the color layer inside the legs. And perhaps I can exploit more color change. I guess that will happen when I revisit this in version 2.0
P.S. - Can someone teach me how to remove wire in photoshop? It doesn't help that I have version 7.0 on this computer...

I'm sorry for having been gone so long; I was super busy with school (ugh APs...) and I had to deal with a hurricane and a power outage. I revised the design for my Gerenuk so now it has a closed back and horns. The horns may not be long enough, but I still like the result. I found out how to close the back thanks to an idea I found skimming on of Quentin's diagrams. The extra spacing allowed me to use color changed horns. And someone also suggested that I needed to make the legs "more accurate", so I changed them, even though I like the other legs equally as much.
Com es pot comprovar, la meravellosa Patent Etui es plega en un gruix d'uns 3cm., molt menys que la majoria de camères de gran format, tant de l'època com actuals.
La KW Patent Etui fou una cà mera de plaques alemana dels anys 20 i 30. Fins aquÃ, res de destacable entre les desenes de models similars, sobretot germanics, d'aquest tipus de camera. Però la Patent Etui destaca per ser extraordinariament compacta. Una meravella del diseny, i amés d'una gran bellessa. Es fabricà entre 1920 i 1938 en dues mides , 6'5x9 i 9x12 (la mida d'aquesta de la imatge). La fabricà KW, es a dir Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch, de Dresde. El fet que els propietaris de la marca fossin jueus propicià que marxessin als Estats Units, i els nous propietaris canviaren a altres tipus de cà meres.
Al ser tant compacta, fou comparada a una capsa de cigarretes (etui en alemany), i d'aquà el nom. És tant petita i lleugera que cal comparar els seus 815 gr. amb els de la tipica nord-americana Speed Graphic, de l'època. Aquesta només proporciona un negatiu lleugerament més gran i en canvi pesa 2,4 kg.!!!
La meva Patent Etui en concret monta un obturador Compur "dial set" anterior al 1931, i una lent Carl Zeiss Tessar f4.5 de 135mm. Més unic es el fet que porta una placa d'una empresa brità nica de fotografÃa, Sands, Hunter & Co. Ltd. Obviament aquest deuria ser l'importador per a aquesta cà mara, que es fabricà expressament per al mercat britanic, ja que té l'indicador de focus en peus. Entre que no s'exportà allà fins al 1928 i diversos nums. de sèrie, sembla que la podem datar per al 1929.
========================================
As you can see, the Patent Etui folded was just barely 3 cm thick! Much less than most large format cameras, then and now.
The KW Patent Etui was a German plate camera from the 1920s and 30s. By itself, this makes them unremarcable among dozens of similar models, especially German ones. But the Patent Etui stands out for its compactness. It's a marvel of design,and beautifully done. It makes it look much more modern. It was manufactured between 1920 and 1938 in two sizes, 6'5x9 and 9x12 (this one). The company responsible was KW, aka Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch, from Dresden. The fact that the owners of the brand were Jews caused them to flee to the United States, and the new owners changed production to other types of cameras.
Being so compact, it was like carring a cigarette box (etui in German), and so the name. It's so small and light that you have to compare its 815 gr. with those of the typical American Speed ​​Graphic, of the time. This one only provides a slightly larger negative and instead weighs 2.4 kg.!
My Patent Etui specifically carries a "dial set" Compur shutter, made before 1931, and a Carl Zeiss Tessar f4.5 135mm lens. More unique is the fact that it has a badge of a British photography company: Sands, Hunter & Co. Ltd. Obviously this should be the importer for this camera, which was manufactured specifically for the British market, since it has the focus indicator in feet. As it was not exported to the UK till 1928 and according to lens & shutter serial numbers, it looks like it was made in 1929.

Former US Marine Corps Douglas F3D-2Q - later EF-10B Skyknight BuAerNo. 124618/TN-4 marked as with VMCJ-3 - the US Marine Composite Reconnaissance Squadron 3 seen here stored at the Museum at MCAS Quantico, Virginia in August 1987
Originally designated the F3D, Skyknights were designed as a Carrier based all-weather Night Fighter and is the only Korean War era Fighter to have served in both Korea and in Vietnam
Nicknamed the 'drut' the F-10 could actually out turn a Mig-15 and was credited with several kills during the Korean War
During the Vietnam War Skyknights provided valuable ECM jamming and CHAFF dropping but suffered several losses and were eventually replaced in these roles by the more capable EA-6 Intruder/Prowler, EA-3 Skywarrior and EB-66 Destroyer
Towards the end of their lives a handful were used for radar development and also for testing out at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico until the 1980's
