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.

I'd be a bit worried that it does that while I'm riding.

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!
Folding knife by Honey Badger. Done for the Crazy Tuesday "Geometry" challenge, but then I went with something else. Converted to B&W.
Designed and folded by me.
Medium: 32x32 cm VOG/tissue paper.
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...
Out shooting with some friends. Jana, Dezy, and Richard.

Who is going to the IPCA retreat in Columbus Ohio this August? I have the honor of being their guest artist this year and I have a great line-up of demo's I will be doing. Some time ago I combined my folded beads and shapes ideas to come up with this folded shapes technique that will be one of my demo topics. I'm still in the process of discovering all the variations possible and will share how I make them with retreat attendees. Pictures of more examples coming soon! Don't forget I also have 2 one-day workshops before the retreat. Here's the link to my workshops: www.helenbreil.com/ipca.html and here's the link to my demo information: polymerclayretreat.com/site/guest-artist-demo-schedule/

Anybody who has taken a biology lab course knows how much I love/hate these bugs. Since I can only either get white wings and white eyes or red eyes and red wings, I chose white wings so I can claim this specimen is a mutant. Yes it is color-changed. Perhaps I should edit on Photoshop and give it red eyes...
Sorry for the suboptimal photography - it was hard trying to get a good contrast between the tan body and the white eyes.
510 pyro 1:200 / Fomapan 100 ei64 / 17.5min semi stand dev. / Invert first 1min. / inver 3 times at 7min and 13min points then stop at 17.5min. with water 30sec x 3. / Fix for about 45 sec.(alkaline fixer) / Pentax MX with SMC 50mm F1.7 / Red and yellow filters.
Well what did you think that they fold themselves? Anyways it is a chore that I never have minded doing! I keep my panties in color order!
