After seeing other people's renditions of this orchid, I decided that I needed to make mines more elegant. There's very little modification of the CP ,but the details of the orchid have been overhauled greatly. My orchid might not be the most expressive out of the bunch, but I think its a major improvement over the first fold of it I made in May.
Designed and folded by me.
Medium: 30x30 cm^2 double thai unryu/tissue
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.
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!
When I demoed my folded shapes technique at the IPCA retreat I mentioned that I always had the folded side to the inside of whatever shape I was building. It just seemed natural to have it that way. When I got home I thought I should try it the reverse with the folded side on the outside. And here's the result! Always experiment and you get wonderful surprises!
This is one of "my boys", Boots. (Muerte is the other of my boys- the two cats who have claimed me as their own).
A couple of weeks ago, Boots got what is essentially a cauliflower ear but for cats. We don't know if he did it to himself or if it happened while roughhousing with any of the other cats. It was a hematoma of the ear flap. He had surgery last week and you can still see the stitches a little. His ear is supposed to return to it's upright position as he heals, but it could take up to three months. Even so, he's still a handsome boy and his floppy ear makes no difference in his personality.
Today, we're sharing folded things in We're Here! and I thought Boots' ear fit that perfectly.
A basic "skeleton" for new design variations based on my Magic Folding "Fidget" Cube.
First of all I analyzed the design of the cube looking for the parts that were really needed to make it work. The result was a working "skeleton" of the cube which wasn't more than the hinge plates, the SNOT brackets and a few plates as "connectors" between them.
Maybe one day you will understand,
That I want nothing from you,
but to sweetly hold your hand.

hi you guys!
this is what i came up with recently. i have finally made a final fold of a rhino!
the main thing i was focused on were the forelegs and i have made three drafts only to test what looks the best (rhyme? :-P)
for this model i have chosen a sheet of watercolor paper (and i watercolored it to add the color to it :-P) it was 24 by 32 cm sheet so this model is from 24 by 24 square - the model is 14 cm long.
inspired mainly by Quentin Trollip ;-)
From this angle the curved spring behind the locking arm would normally be visible. I have no idea how they got broken off. Not from any normal use certainly. I can only imagine that perhaps some child or teenager broke them off. I could customise some replacement springs to keep these arms in the locked position when the folding bed is opened.
The two tripod sockets are also visible from this angle, and the focusing mechanism in the front corner.
There are a few tiny drops of water on the camera... It was drizzling a little when I took this picture on my balcony.
Second fold of "Dwarf" by Eric Joisel.
Folded by me from a 45cm square sheet of Gangjong, a thin but stiff handmade paper. The dwarf is 17cm high and stands well on his foots, thanks to wetfolding.
However this paper is too thin to shape easily, it tears quickly. Next try will be with a stronger one.
Guided CP can be found in 13th Origami Tanteidan Convention Book.
These are my 12 pieces for the exhibition

.. I don't know why the photo uploaded on flickr makes me feel quite different impression from the one shown on my monitor sometimes. even this pic looks too dark to me now.. hmm.

I folded a lovely rabbit napkin by using the color of Japan!
This is one of the favorite styles of me though it is a very easy way to fold.
My friend and family are always pleased. Especially, the child is very pleased!
... or how to project a panorama unto a square so that it can be folded into a cube, without scissors or glue.
For folding instruction, you can refer to the small drawing that has the folds (mountain or valley) or you can check this page that has more detailed instructions. I also have a page showing how to build them with pictures.
For this origami I was completely inspired by Carlos Furuti and his page on foldable projections.
This is a conformal projection of the cube, the original panorama is one of the first equirectangular panoramas I shot.
