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.
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...)

Triangles on a square grid, might be tricky although it isn't
Poem.
Gouged.
Chiselled.
Fallen slabs of earth.
Folds of rock, soil and green mantle,
lie prostrate,
like a pile of giant dominoes.
Cliffs.
Edges.
Precipices.
Rock-faces and
spires of stone,
proliferate this dream landscape,
gravity-driven, and ancient.
As Geomorphologists do,
I have seen many, many landscapes.
This one is unique.
It is mystical
and almost……
beyond belief!
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 accordion folded album holds four cabinet cards on this side and two on the other side. It has brown leather ends with a geometric design. I am posting both sides. We have filled it with cabinet cards of actresses from our collection of 19th century ladies of the theatre.

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. ;)

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...
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!

The Mexican Red Knee... a truly hellish creature in appearance and to fold.
The tissue paper kept ripping and some of the paper peeled off while I was folding... I'm sorry it's kinda sloppy...
this is meant to go from light to dark there are 77 circles and squares forming the 'japanese folded' design i backed it in a beautiful jade fabric
