As some of my friends know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE to wrap!
I love presentations . . . the only problem is that people complain that they don't want to *unwrap* my gifts! oh well . . .
So here is the front and back of one of my traditional yearly calendars . . . .
ENJOY! and Happy Sliders Sunday, two hours before it is Monday! Nothing like the last minute!
Detail of the folded Butterfly-field-pattern.
If you are interested in the progress of my origami "Butterfly"-molecule-pattern, click here for the album, where you can see my other tessellations, based on this molecule.
Topview of origami "Star Prints" by Aldo Marcell.
Here you can see the "face view" of this model ;-D
Origami "Star Prints" is related to another dodecahedron I folded earlier: "Oleo", (also created by Aldo Marcell), which is an "easier" version, just a few creases less.
Folded from 30 pieces of double colored kami paper (7,5x7,5 cm).
No glue.
Tutorial can be found here.

Folded for a friend of mine, she liked these open versions of my two tessellations Connection 5 and Connection 6. And I was able to take a photo them this time ;-))

Hexagon 33cm, grid 1:64
Tessellation Btt-5 is the final step of "Open Extended tessellation 5". (and it is the bigger sister of 'Tessellation Btt-4' with a few differences). You see both sides, I still can't decide which one is the front or back side.
Hexagon 33cm, thin parchment-paper( I think it is called), grid 1:96

It is fun and interesting to fold this "old Snowflake", designed in 1993. Because it is tessellation related, but only using the necessary lines, so it looks as clean as possible, without superfluous creases.
I folded it from glassine, which gives a great effect when backlighting is used and the hidden beauty becomes visible.
One could also fold it with not translucent paper, and then it looks like a lovely flower. ;-)

Folded from hexagon 21cm, white glassine, final size 15cm (from point to point)
A little version of "Woven rings" by Joel Cooper. I don't have the right paper (yet) to make a bigger one.
Big thanks to Monika Hanková, who reverse-engineered this lovely model and showed us the backside. So now I could figure it out how to fold it.
This paper is too thick and I had to flatten the hexagon and the triangles.
The frontside is very nice but I also like the backside, when it is backlit. Here you can see different views of the backside.
Hexagon out of A4, grid 1:28. Final size about 9 cm.
Crazy Tuesday - Orange and Black
Two strips of paper folder at right angles to create a 'spring' effect!!
"""""""" WHO AM I ????? I would really like to know that!!
So sorry, that I immediately barged in with a serious philosophical issue……
But yesterday I was just an ordinary square piece of paper, cozy on a pile with my family and friends.
Suddenly I had to do all kinds of stretching exercises to get into this shape and I really don't know what will happen next…….. missing my friends……feeling quite stressed……. Hopefully time will reveal it soon! """""""
A piece of paper having an identity crisis ;-))
Update: folding one unit (not quite ready though) of the origami model Roses and Thorns, opus 754

Wishing you all a nice day, despite the weather conditions, much rain here…...
When I first saw this model, without knowing how it was called , I thought it was a kind of angel or a little bat. The designer, Paul Frasco, calls it "Little Devil". I think a nice name would also be "Bat-devil" ;-)).
Because I thought it could be an angel, it reminded me of the song of Elvis Presley "Devil in disguise".

Arisawa Yuga created this lovely origami Santa Crane.
The crane (Tsuru) is a symbol of long-life as Japanese folkore believes the crane can live for 1000 years. The crane is also a symbol for happiness, friendship, good luck and peace.
Folded from 30x30cm kamipaper.

When I visited my dear friend Katharina, I discovered this flower and that's why this tessellation carries her name : "Kathy's flower" ;-)) The flowers are 3D, they rise out of the paper, so to speak.
The first folding steps also gave a nice result.
Folded from wrapping paper, hexagon about 33cm, grid 1:64
Желаю тебе ярких эмоций, позитива и хорошего настроения!

У вас такое бывало, чтобы бумага спасала модель? я бы эту красавицу не собрала, если бы не сиреневая бумага. Если бы не сиреневая бумага, я бы эту бумагу растащила на тесты... но разве можно раздраконить драгоценную сиреневую бумагу? Этот долгострой лежал в состоянии 10 модулей несколько месяцев...
For Macro Mondays theme "Corner" ... origami has many corners, creases, and folds.
An alternative, more standard paper crane shot is in the comments. I liked the negative space in this one.
This is one of the last meeting-points where origami Santa's gather together and discuss about the world of "Humans" and how they maybe can change it.
A foldable kusudama-fire keeps them warm.
Did you know that Santa's don't need any sleep at all? I didn't ;-)

***Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.
The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.
Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as art card editions and originals (ACEOs).(Wikipedia)

I met Michał Kosmulski at het German Origami Convention and not so long ago he created the "Double Spearhead Tessellation" and I finally found some time to fold it too! (first row, left photo).
I like the backlight versions of this tessellation very much, because you can see so many patterns each time you focus differently. That why I rotated it too, gives a different feel. (first row, right photo).
In the second row you see my variation of this tessellation, called "Neptune scales" . Big thanks to Marguerite-Helene ;-))
Here you can see the beginning: "Blocks"
Both tessellation folded from 20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24.

The angles are 36˚, so this model is a real 'small stellated dodecahedron' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_stellated_dodecahedron
slightly other (bit stronger) assembly mechanisms are possible for this unit, but they eliminate the color change at the peaks.

Origami 'Her Majesty and His Royal Highness' want to thank everyone for being so kind for visiting their colorful origami-land. They hope you had a really nice carnaval and will come back another time.
These two models are also my variations of "Clown mask 2" by Hideo Komatsu.
Folded from 15x15cm duo colored paper.
Happy Halloween everybody!!!!!!
Juston is the designer of this origami 'Skull', which is an earlier version than his most known origami human skull . You can see that the both skulls are family ;-))

The last fold in the middle of the starflowers from "Yellow and you get "Blue" with stars. Now this tessellation is finished ;-))
It is a bigger version of the "Ice-flower" molecule.
This pattern is also related to "Purple".
Folded from bible paper, hexagon about 33cm, grid 1:48.
Design by Tom Stamm. Fold and presentation by Catherine Moore
I really like this design because of the versatility with the tail. Not sure I've done it justice yet but am having fun working on it.
A path of hexagons and triangles ;-)) Folding a new tessellation.
"I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it."
Quote - Rosalia de Castro
I started to fold the "Face_pattern" with elephant hide, just for an experiment to see how it would look like with this paper. To my surprise it didn't stay flat, but started to curl and in the middle a bowl arose (photo left).
I stopped folding and only made a few, already existing, creases stronger on the back (right photo), so it would maintain it's new shape even more.
These are very simple flowers folded from pentagons and dedicated to Archana, the folding mathematician from India whom I know only from internet... :)
I tried to search if such flower was already created, and I really found some similarly looking models but all were different in some details. But I know, there could easily be the very same model already existing. What I like about those is paper effectivity - with the starting size of pentagon fitting into 5 cm square, the flower fits into square a bit bigger than 3 cm (size of its side). I like also back side of the model, I will try to show you the photo in the comment. And that it could be very easily attached to the stem. These on the picture are not glued to the green part, but they hold really well.
I designed this fox from start to finish during my trip to the German Convention this year.
I have not figured out a folding secuence for her, as the design does not derive directly from folding but from careful placing of the folds with the intention of shaping each part of the animal independenly.
To further constrain the design tools I followed the same criteria I have been using lastly. This fox is made from folds mostly at 22.5 angles and a CP (N/A yet) can confortably convey almost 100% of the folds in the model. That mean it has very few finishing touches and every thing *has* to be done through actual straight line folds.
A contradiction with the "interpretation" of origami?
I had to fold "Kathy flower" again, as our cat destroyed it, perhaps she didn't like the paper, I don't know.
Anyway, folding it again, I thought why not play with the size of the flower and sees what happens with the pattern. So I did and here is the result. These are still the first folding steps, like "Circles".
I hope I can finish them today ;-))
All folded from bible paper, the hexagon about 33 cm, grid 1:64. I photographed them from the same distance and put them all in one photo, so you can see its growth and the differences.
Upper row is the frontside, lower row the backside or the other way around.
I made a little present, two pairs of origami earrings, for my niece because she is having her birthday today. The first one you can see here above and is folded from one little square of Washi paper (4,5x4,5cm). The finished model size is 2,5cm.
It's a traditional origami model, called Tato. When you fold it bigger, you can put something inside.
You can see the other pair of earrings here.
Wondering what the practical limitations are on rendering complex origami objects with the 3D traceover technique.
I like to fold several things, also models of Santa. So when ever I see one, I try to get the diagrams so I can fold it and add it to my collection. If you want to have a look.

En esta figura he tratado de usar una base muy simple y centrarme más en modelar. El papel era algo grueso tal vez.

Preparing an other tessellation and suddenly I saw eyes, so I used the exciting creases trying to make an origami face.
Now I have taken a photo, I will unfold the face and continu to make the new tessellation ;-)
This is a recursion of my Twisted Bird Base Tessellation (the non-recursive version was published in Origami Deutschland 2016 convention book and International Origami Internet Olympiad (IOIO) 2016). The recursive / fractal version looks interesting but it's rather hard to collapse.
I think I saw somewhere on the internet a picture of a very simialr or even identical tessellation molecule designed by o'sorigami.
