sorry for the big picture.. click 'all sizes' button please.

i can't wait any more to thank my 'first' teacher of paper tessellation in flickr, origomi, Eric Gjerde.

well.. since i couldn't post photos for a while so i've prepared this.

i had something else about this model but i'm not sure if i will post that something.

i will tell what the something is if i post it (wish me luck).

anyway, this and the original model gives me great inspiration on paper folding...

in fact i've fold the both quite alot for the kids of my friends'.

what can i say, they just love them. and i got the credit for it (sorry Eric).

one of my friend laminated this nicely.

umm... not quite like Eric's vacuum-packed star twist.. ^L^"

before making this precrease and steps for star twist, i looked over Eric's homepage to see if there's any change on this model... (hoping there's a new hint on folding this)

and i found New Star Twist Diagrams which is nice but not so easy to remember... at least to me. so i decide to make a 'fairly easy' folding steps for the beginners like me.

this is also my 'first' attempt to make an SCP(Sequenced Crease Pattern),

so it needs to be examined by experts such as.. Philip? and other gurus?

please tell me what you guys think.. i don't want to be alone (like Joel had been ^L^")

i found some mistakes after uploading them... see the notes on diagram.

and if you have any questions or sugestions, please let me know.

(i'm sure some of you couldn't understand my 'Kongrish(Korean-English)'. ^L^")

again, i thank Eric and of course other friends in flickr ^L^"

[last thing to say... i open these for friends only right now.. i will open them to public if Eric or you guys think that i'm not breaking any kind of copyright thing such as my copy of Philip's (CC) mark ^L^"]

... [Edited: i open this to public with Eric's permission. well i might wait till Philip says something about his CC mark that i copied but i guess he's a lil busy ^L^".

by the way, i'm gonna send PDF of this to Eric about a week later (i gotta correct some mistakes and add more explanation on them)

so that he can post it on his homepage.

i might post it on my homepage (or weblog page) when i have one available...

probably a Korean Version... ^L^"

now it's not just 3 twisted triangles.

the same folding method as in the 3-triangle twist is used here...

some one may have done it already or not.

by the way, my pro account is expired now.

it's been a really fun and wonderful experience.

i really appreciate Christiane for it.

i saved my old photos already.

probably i will put them on the other place (probably my Yahoo home page)

so that any one who need to see them can find them.

(i hope some one wants to see them, right? ^L^")

i think i move my note2self photos there soon.

once again, thanks Christiane. but sometimes it gives me a litle pressure that i 'have to' fold and post photos regularly, you know ^L^".

sorry for the big picture.. click 'all sizes' button please.

First thing to say is that these folding steps are only for folding ONE Star Twist V.2.1..

not for tesselating them.. i think it may need to be collapsed all at once to tessellate it ( just like what Eric told us).. well... i didn't try any yet.. ^L^"

And the drawings... i mimicked Eric's skill.. ^L^"

on my old photos that i took while making his original Star Twist.

so, some part of the crease lines (bright gray lines) may not correct..

please bare with me... it wasn't easy for me to make them...

Step-1, Step-2 and Step-2a are for the first (smallest) star.

i just try to fold it as the original CP indicates...

what i'm saying is that this will not get you the 'same skewed' hexagonal twist on top of the Star twist as in here, here, or here.. (see the note on step-3)

I wasn't sure what Eric said: it uses 30 degree offset equilateral triangles at the 120 degree angles to get a good fold lock.

could this be a hint for the skewed hexa twist on top?

sorry for the big picture.. click 'all sizes' button please.

'Mark 1' can be seen on Ryan's star thing, on Eric's new triangle tessellation,

and a little differently on Fredrik's 6 - 4 - 3 - Stars

am i right, Fredrik?

sorry for the big picture.. click 'all sizes' button please.

now i'm getting lazy... not so colorful... ^L^"

i try to draw detailed crease lines from the precrease...

the crease lines on the Side view are... terrible...

it's just for reference.

now it's not just 3 twisted triangles.

the same folding method as in the 3-triangle twist is used here...

some one may have done it already or not.

sorry for the big picture.. click 'all sizes' button please.

now i skip the drawing for the last step...

you can modify a little on the extra area if you didn't cut the cutting mark on the precreasing diagram. i will post my modification asap.

one thing to think of is...

Eric says about 'logarithmic progression' on Ver.2.1...

in my humble thought, the first two stars in Ver.2 look logarithmic to me...

but after that in Ver.2 and stars in Ver.2.1, i'd say it looks geometric

as i compare the size of rhombic petals on Ver.2.1...

i made it with a little bigger grids due to the ability of the camera...

see the pencil drawn crease line...

--------

due to my short term memory loss(?),

i preserve the steps (i tried to remember how i've folded Owesen's stars the other day... couldn't remember it... what a silly i am)

anyway, i asked Joel a permission for this base, what he calls 'hex twists with two opposite pleats reversed, or countersunk' on his herringbone but didn't hear any from him.

recently he post the reverse shot. so i take the liberty to give my note2self to friends in flickr.

hope Joel doesn't feel being handed over by one of his most able students (well, that's me ^L^")

and i hope some friends will bring a nice idea from it as always they do.

complete.. you may compare it with the previous photo

again, it is not really the 'hex twists with two opposite pleats reversed, or countersunk'.

It's ‪#‎terrifyingtuesday‬!! Featuring the Tiger Fish!

"Widely distributed across much of Africa, tiger fish are fierce predators with large, razor-sharp teeth. They often hunt in packs and occasionally eat large animals. Attacks on human beings are rare but not unheard of.

The two largest species are the goliath tiger fish (Hydrocynus goliath) and the Hydrocynus vittatus, which is commonly called the tiger fish. Both are prized as game fish. The goliath tiger fish, which can reach sizes up to 110 pounds (50 kg), is found in the Congo River and Lake Tanganyika. The tiger fish can weigh up to 33 pounds (15 kg) and is found in the Zambezi River system."

looks scarier than a piranha to me! ‪#‎note2self‬ ‪#‎neverswiminZambeziRivers‬ ‪#‎scaryfish‬ ‪#‎beanmuseum‬
