Origami picture frame, folded from a single sheet of paper without any cuts or glue. There is a slit going around the inner perimeter of the frame where you can insert the picture and the tension of the paper can hold the picture in place. This particular frame, suitable for a standard 15×10 cm picture was folded from a strip of F-Color paper with dimensions roughly 70×10 cm. 70 cm is the shorter side of a B1 sheet which is quite convenient.
This frame can be made with arbitrary proportions: you can vary the width, height and depth as well as the breadth of the border independently. It is also possible to make a modular version which is easier to assemble and can be made with smaller sheets of paper, but then it becomes modular origami rather than a single-sheet model.
I was inspired to design this model by a workshop held in Erkner (German Origami Convention) by Hans-Werner Guth who taught his Trapped Cube model. His work, in turn, was inspired by the bent frames of Thoki Yenn.
Oh, and you can also place an origami tessellation inside a frame like this in order to take nice back-lit pictures (you need a bit of margin on the tessellation in order to insert it into the slit, though).
Theme of the Week - Frame Within A Frame
Quickly done at Hobby Lobby before any other customers showed up.
This is a picture frame for 16:9 format, decorated with a variant of my lily pond tessellation. The lilies were modelled on top of four-sink bases instead of the sunk square twists used in the original tess since this allowed for a more symmetric frame.
The picture is attached by tucking its corners into the corners of four-sinks so that only a very small part is covered. This makes four-sink-base based molecules good building blocks for picture frames.
Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe have nothing on me! Well actually, they most likely look better in fedoras.
(At least I didn't try to claim to be an egghead!)

Week #8 ~ In the Prop Box
I have been asked to photograph a couple of parties and brought along this picture frame with various hats, glasses, feather boas, etc and it is very popular. It's my current favourite prop.
New system. Low-res photos w/ copyright watermark.
Because I'm tired of LJ icon makers who think this is free stock. I'm tired of not being credited on tumblr. I'm tired of people not bothering to look whether this is CC or copyright...
I hate that I have to do this. But that's the way it is.

A modular version of this picture frame. Folded from 4 units, each from 1:2 paper.
Modular version is easier to assemble and can be made with smaller paper sheets than the single-sheet version. This model also shows how the proportions of the frame (width, height, depth and breadth) can be varied independently. Instructions can be found here.
Inspired by models by Hans-Werner Guth who, as I later learned, has designed an almost identical model. Given the simplicity, I assume an exactly identical design must also have already been folded by others before. His work in turn is based on the designs of Thoki Yenn.

Free to use for your creative pleasures.
My dad had a few cameras back in his day and this was one of the frames from the snap shots.
Enjoy.
We got the duckpin bowling balls for free because a random neighbor of the yardsale saw us buying the bowling balls and thought we might want the duckpin balls also. The big metal top is pretty cool because it plays music when you spin it. One of the silver orb lights ended up breaking, though. They are too fragile for our house.

Take a safari. Photograph the Human Zoo from the safety of a car, taxi, bus or train. - Simon Kossoff
This picture frame can hold a standard 15×10 cm photograph. It consists of four molecules of the Hydrangea Tessellation (designed by Shuzo Fujimoto) spaced apart in such way that a picture can be inserted into the space between them.
My sister-in-law Bogna gave me the idea of making a photo frame when I showed her the standard low-density Hydrangea tess.
The picture is held in place only at its corners by the petals on the inner edge of the frame. The picture’s edges are not covered by the frame at all, so almost all the area of the image is visible. Despite such small tabs, the picture sits inside the frame quite securely.
The size of the hydrangea flowers and the thickness of the frame relative to the size of the area used for the picture can be made arbitrarily large or small. This requires a bit of calculation to lay out the paper well (tip: the picture’s edge lies at 13/16 of the width of the Hydrangea molecule). Precise folding is required, especially if you want to make the frame narrow relative to picture size.
If you fold the frame a little bit too small and the picture bulges when you try to insert it, you can pierce the paper edge which is hidden under the petals on the inner edge of the frame with a knife. The picture’s corners will then be able to go through the slits instead of being pressed against the paper so that a larger picture can fit in.

One of the artists having a little fun, plus the Crown Surplus guys setting off a flare in the background, something like that... LOL
Inglewood Night Market takes place on the second Friday of the month from June to September on the second Friday, from 6 PM to Midnight, by the red barn, challenging photography once it starts getting dark, although that is quite late here in Alberta this time of year...
