Visiting a manufacturer of frame parts...my friend was just behind me coming through these curtains casting an eerie shadow..........just the kind of thing that catches my eye.

Folding camera for rollfilm size 104 , made in USA from 1897-1907 . This model (serial number 77195) with metal front and shutter with pneumatic release between 1900-1903 . Compared with the early model , this one has an extra sliding baseboard . Type name on the carrying strap . The back is removable as a whole , allowing the placement of the film roll , or - as in this case - to be replaced by an adapter back to allow the use of film plate cassettes .
The wild lilies dried up very quickly in this hot, dry summer. But before they faded completely, many of them seemed to fold in upon themselves in a sort of protective posture.
If you look to the left from the basic shape of the center, you can see how the horse "駆ける" (pronounced "KAKERU" in Japanese, which means "run"), and if you look to the right, the horse "欠ける". (Pronounced "KAKERU" in Japanese, meaning "break").
In addition, the three pedestals express the important flow of origami, which is "folding process", "basic shape", and "finishing" in order from the right side.

I had the idea of using the "diamond tesselation" to use as a spring, especially for a springy dog like this. I'm happy everything worked out. May or may not have been inspired by Toy Story.
ODC-Fold/Folded

This little bunny hopped into the yard this morning and I captured it with its back legs folded with a little motion blur. I've been trying different editing programs in combination with each other.
Waterpocket Fold (long red feature, center) is the primary geological feature of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Here is the uplift as seen from Utah Highway 12. Moonrise was authentic with the photo.
The Henry Mountains in the distance are named for Joseph Henry (1797-1878), American scientist and inventor.

Designing this was slow yet easy. Folding this was super long.
Another fish to add to the river monster collection.
Got the idea for the scales from Nakamura's carp. Actually sorta does look like his carp, except the CPs are definitely different.
I'd thought about folds a few times today, however taking a photo while doing yoga, or while doing my "stretch & folds" for my sourdough were both impractical.
Taking a photo of a paper aeroplane was equally hard - when it was in flight!
But, here it is, a little battered after a few trips round the kitchen.
It is folded from single pleat tissue paper.

This is an old model. The folding techniques are a combination of flat and 3D folds. I am refolding this to obtain the CP. The only way to fold this is precrease, collapse and shape. I will need to improve on the design to minimise the "hollow parts".

Medium: 35x35 cm^2 Biotope
When I see blue whales, I think about their giant mouths in proportion to their body, and how they balloon out when it ingests a swarm of krill or plankton. Thus, I wanted a model that captured just how colossal the mouth can get. Almost everyone who has designed a rorqual emphasizes the grooves underneath the mouth (and rightly so), but to really make the grooves stand out, I made the whale look as if it was in the process of taking a big gulp. The model is almost completely closed entirely with exception to the tail.
Biotope was not bad, but I think something like Elephant Hide would be nicer and have the potential for wet-folding.
Another off-topic note I would also like to make - about 2 months ago, I was ecstatic when OrigamiHouse published one of my designs on their prestigious Tanteidan Convention booklet. I have seen so many Kamiya sheeps, Kato's beetles, Heynen's geckos, and Yoon's rabbits... and rightfully so as they are outstanding designs. Sometimes I see other people fold other models, that show up once or twice in my feed. However, it really disappoints me to say that while I have seen almost, if not all models in the book at least once within these two months, I have not seen a single rendition of my design _once_ from the time the book was released, to now. By no means was I expecting my model to be "top-tier", nor am I the best or most popular designer in the world, but I was definitely expecting at least one person to at least make an effort or an attempt... it really lets me down when there is no one that appreciates what I make. You don't realize that feeling as if you had contributed nothing and that nobody recognizes you is one of the worst feelings in the world.
To those of you that willfully pass me over and take me for granted - I'm just going to say that I'm going to keep folding and designing whether you like it or not. I will also continue to make an effort to publish models whether you think that I take up needed space in a publication that could have been used for another "better" artist or not. I have little reason to stop doing what I really like doing just because you prefer an artist to another. That does not change the fact that I exist, and that I am capable of making an impact throughout origami.
However, aside from the previous negativity, I also want to dedicate some time to say that to those of you that comment, favorite, or criticize, I thank you for the time you put into me, even if it were only a small glance. Everything you do really brightens my day and encourages me to advance further throughout my origami experience and try new things, be it in origami or in the real world. When I post designs through Flickr, I don't just inspire other people who see my creations, but I also inspire myself - to try new things and discover more that I would have thought was not possible for my skill level.
Again, with all my sincerity, thank you - I cannot capture all my feelings with just two words.

So on a Macro Mondays posting recently someone mentioned that they didn’t have a ruler and hoped their picture was within the 3” parameters. And I got to thinking about teaching my elementary kids about measuring —- you always have a ruler with you….
For most people the distance between the first and second knuckle on your forefinger (pointer) is about an inch - even on adults. Go ahead try it… For those of you using metric measurements it’s about 2.4cms…..
So now you can measure macro items with more confidence!…… (By the way, another equivalency - the distance between your bent wrist and your crooked elbow is about the size of your foot. There are others.)
And if you’ve stuck with me for this science/math lesson— wish me a happy birthday 🎂- yes, it really and truly is my birthday!!
The cat may be a Scottish fold but the sweater is from Spain ;)
Karine's knitting is super perfect, from the fit to the materials and my dolls were dying to have something new from her :)
Laziness is the reason for this shot!
Sorry, I know I am only cheating myself.
But we all get like this sometime's!
I will make a special effort tomorrow.

@Macro Mondays: Usually when I see the photo theme of the week, I get an idea almost immediatly. But this time I had to google for inspiration. In this way I discovered a whole new world, the world of folded book art. This week's challenge was to fold a heart in a book and take a macro picture for Macro Mondays theme " Crinkled , Wrinkled , Folded or Creased ". If you never have tried this before but have become curious about this folding technique, you can certainly find a video online. I followed this swedish instruction www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vhv7OzYjwE.
