I didn't think I would like this shot that much - lighting was kind of boring. But when I opened it full screen, there was such a drama to the shape of the hills I knew immediately it was a keeper.

Anolis Lizard
Designed by Bernie Peyton
Folded by me
For a while, I had the idea of folding other people's designs that I have not seen much throughout flickr, and I decided I would do a series that would highlight the works of other designers and their designs. True, there is Kamiya, Cuong, Quyet, Trollip, Diaz, and many others that receive the most attention for their works, but to me, origami is about representing the works of not only them but the many other unique contributions other origami artists make. I believe origami is about representing every artist, every style, and every technique holistically and bring attention to the new ideas that the underappreciated present.
As for this design, granted, Bernie Peyton is fairly recognized, probably most notable for his 6th Passion Origami book, which is slightly contradictory to what I have said previously. However, I feel Peyton's designs have not really been popular with the flickr origami community in general, as even with his book published, I saw very few renditions of his designs from EcoOrigami. Especially with this anolis design - I searched flickr for a rendition of this lizard, but it only yielded two unique renditions - one from LaBoone and the other from... Peyton himself. Last night I decided to fold this bugger. I was surprised to see that it uses a 7-sected(?) angle division. Probably the reason Peyton's works really don't mesh well with the origami community is because of the obscure reference points needed to fold most of his abstract designs, but once you get past that, I think there is a lot of potential for folders to do some creative things. By no means do I claim my fold of the anolis is a paragon of "creativity and uniqueness", but I do encourage people to dive into unknown territory and realize there is more to this design that meets the eye.

There's not a lot of room in the box of a travel bike so when Ted asked me to make him a folding rack, I knew exactly how flat it needed to be. His travel bike is just about done and I'll be painting it next week.
After seeing all the beautiful ornaments that Holly has been making, I knew I had to try it out!
I am happy with how it turned out, but I don't think I have the paitence for too many! So much folding and too many pins! :)
Here is the tutorial: Folded Fabric Star

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.

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...)

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.
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.

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...
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.
