[Origami] Origami Camp

We'd meet once a week for a couple of hours for a grading period of 8 weeks. Normally what I would do is start very easy - I would always have some new kids. Then I would do bases - concentrate on the preliminary base, or the waterbomb, for a meeting or two, and fold several models using that base. After that I would go to a different base, then more difficult things like petal folds and squashes, rabbit ears and sinks ... then some modulars. The thing that was hardest for me was remembering that what was easy for me to fold wasn't always that easy for the kids to fold. It was generally pretty fun though. Dee

> > > I've been asked to teach origami to a large group of 3rd-5th graders. I > have the option of dividing them up into smaller groups. Or what other > types would you suggest? My two favorite models for teaching are: Topsy Turvy - designed by Seiryo Takekawa Found in "Origami for Parties" by Kazuo Kobayashi and Makoto Yamaguchi This is a really fun toy - needs a BIT more precision to make it work properly, but even the sloppiest can usually be made to sort of work. You stand the model on on end, let go and it rolls over. I've taught it to many people of many ages and they all seem to like it. Yacht - Traditional found in "Amazing Origami for Children" by Steve and Megumi Biddle I googled this and didn't come up with an image. Essentially it is a kite base with a few more folds that allows a "sail" to stand up straight. You can blow on the back of the sail and scoot it acorss the table. I don't know how available these books are, so contact me offline if you're interested in them and I can try to walk you through folding them with some pictures or something. Dee
[Origami] STEM origami class at library
Hi guys! One of the local libraries has contacted me about teaching an origami class for teens this coming June. The theme of the classes is "Building for the Future" (or something like that). In view of the recent NOVA program, I thought it would be really cool to do a flasher. There is a simple one that I found by Jeremy Shafer. It is square. Does anyone know of others? Maybe one with a hex pattern? Do you think it is too ambitious? I am not sure how many - if any - of the teens will have folded before. It is fairly straightforward to me - but I've been at this for 40+ years LOL! Had anyone ever taught these before? I will be teaching it to my regional group this coming meeting (Sunday the 5th if anyone in the Centennial, CO, area) so that may give me a better idea as to what to expect, but any thoughts from the greater community would be welcome! Thanks! Dee
[Origami] NOVA - Origami Revolution
Watched this wonderful show last night - amazing! I was glad to see some familiar faces and there were a LOT of new names! Cool! I had to laugh, though, one young man in the protein lab (I have forgotten his name) was talking about how a flat piece of paper that has been creased can be folded back into what it was by following the creases - which is what they are trying to do with the proteins to cure disease. I looked at the paper he was holding and told my husband - that's a crane. About 10 seconds later he held up a crane. :-) It was a neat show! Congrats to all! Dee
[Origami] My favorite Paper globe
I saw this Sonobe Unit globe several years ago. It is actually quite cool - I still have a folded 30 unit around somewhere. There is a three piece, a six piece and a 12 piece as well. Just be aware it is hard on color ink :-) http://www.tonysplate.org/sonobe/sonobe-earth-30.pdf Dee

[Origami] Paper Menagerie and Links to OUSA remote classes
Just ordered Ken Liu's "Paper Menagerie" after is showed up in my "Kindle Daily Deal." It caught my eye since it has - I believe - Quentin Trollip's lovely "Tiger " (which I just saw in the BOS magazine)! Maybe someone else mentioned it before, but I didn't realize it had won so many sci-fi awards. I also FINALLY had time to sit down to the link for one of the two remote classes I paid for (but was unable to do in person for the OUSA convention). Dice and Double Dice was really a nice box. I will be doing the remote classes again, I believe. Dee

On the other hand, that same trip at another restaurant, the waiter was so entranced I offered to fold another crane. He got the other waiter (it was a small place) AND the CHEF to come out and watch me fold it! Dee

There is a very similar one in Kasahara's Creative Origami - or maybe it is Amazing Origami - I bought them at the same time and I don't remember which is which. In there he claims that someone has determined there are a large number of different ways the snowflake can be folded. I haven't figured out more than a couple, but I really do like them! I like Dennis Walker's "Snowflake" as well, and Tomoko Fuse has some in one of here books - I don't read Japanese, so I don't know the title, but it has stars in it. Some of her snowflakes are made with multiple pieces of paper, but there are a few that are made with hexagons. I like snowflakes. :-) I folded 30 or 40 very small snowflakes (the hexagon was a little over an inch at the widest) for the tables at the PCOC in Boulder. Dee

[Origami] Strung cranes
Hi everyone! Got a question for you all - would anyone like to be the recipient of several thousand strung cranes? The librarian that has them is moving and can't take them with her. I have no need for them, or room for that matter. I can keep them for short term, but I need to tell her in a day or two if I want them. These, by the way, are the cranes that many people folded - oh, 10 or 12 years ago - for a project started by someone in the Governor's well - first Lady's - office here in Colorado, and many of you contributed. Let me know ASAP if anyone wants them. Dee

Rather then just toss them into the recycle bin, I thought I would see if anyone were interested in having them. I have CHAOS, OCOP, and WCOG in the main.

[Origami] Fortune Tellers
> > > Can you please help me with a second question regarding fortune tellers: to > your knowledge, around what grade and age are fortune tellers particularly > popular among kids? > > Oh gosh - that was SO LONG AGO ;-) I think, as someone mentioned before, that it was mostly the girls that started them (mainly because the fortunes tended to be "You will marry this person" or "You will have x number of children."

[Origami] Fortune tellers
> > > > As a child, were you taught to color the outer flaps and add numbers > inside or to just color the inner flaps? > We just wrote the name of the color on the outermost flap, numbers on the inside and fortunes down deep ... This fold is what got me started in origami. I was folding one in the library and the librarian saw me. She came over and said "Here is a book you might like," and handed me Robert Harbin's "Secrets of Origami." Couldn't make heads or tails of it until I hit the fortune teller there (I think he called it a salt cellar?) ... the rest is history ;-) I have used fortune tellers in other ways. I helped in the classroom when my kids were smaller and suggested a fortune teller for science ... the kids put colors or something on the outside flaps, planets on the inside and then a fact relating to that planet where the fortune should go. I think the teacher did that later in another class with another subject as well ... Klutz used to make a craft/book with fortune tellers as well - I haven't seen it in a long time, though. Googled it and several others popped up :-) Dee

[Origami] Making tissue foil
> > > >A few years back I had a need for duo tissue paper (2 pieces of tissue > >bonded together) and used my standard method for foil-backing paper... > >Anyone have any ideas or experience with duo-tissue preparation? > >-- JC > At PCOC Michael Verry taught a class on making tissue foilk that I thought was much easier than any other I had ever done. We started by rolling the tissue paper around a tube that was covered with waxed paper. He used Elmer's Glue, Methyl Cellulose and water (1 cup each) as a bonding agent. We painted that onto the foil and rolled the tissue paper off the tube onto the foil. It took a bit of practice to not get a few bubbles or creases in the tissue paper, but it dried quite quickly and - so far - has held up really well.

[Origami] square paper not square
Square Origami Paper - That's Never Square !!! Why is it not square when folded corner to corner (diagonally). It's packaged as square origami paper. It probably was square when it was cut. Paper is made with water and is never totally dry. I live in Colorado - where it is very dry - I generally make do and split the difference in models that I am just doing for fun. For nicer models, a friend keeps his paper in a plastic box with a film can - yeah I know those are hard to find, but you can probably find something else - with holes in the top and a damp sponge. It seems to help.
[Origami] Gloves/sweaty hands
What is your recommendation for people who are eager to fold Origami models but have the problem of excessive sweaty hands which causes the paper to get wet after folding very few steps? Cloth gloves seems to make the precise folding hard and disposable gloves(medical gloves?) make the hands to sweat even more. When I have needed the dexterity of fingertips and yet protection of some sort in my palms (and protection of the paper :-) I have cut the fingertips off the cloth gloves. Depending on the type of material the gloves are made of, you may have to use some sewing thread or cloth glue to keep the fingers from fraying and making a mess. Dee

[Origami] eBay and origami
Each day from the beginning of November through the end of December, ebay is featuring a holiday-themed origami design that appears as a tiny vignette in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. The company asked me to make 15 designs based on specific images including a turkey, Santa Claus, Christmas tree, Christmas wreath, dreidel, polar bear, cardinal, bells, etc. Some of what I produced is single-piece origami from a square, while other designs (by necessity, given the image they're based on) are composed of multiple pieces and are more like paper craft. Two images have already appeared that are earlier designs of mine, a reindeer and a couple of penguins. Unfortunately, the images only seem to appear on some people's computers, perhaps depending on whether one is a frequent ebay user or not (they have yet to show up on my screen). But if you can find them. . . enjoy! (And if anyone can uncover the secret for how to make them appear, please let me know.) --Peter Engel I am on eBay nearly everyday lately and haven't seen anything origami ... and you think I would all my watch items and missed auctions are for origami books! I'll keep my eyes open for it though. Dee

I went to the ladies room at my office the other day and someone had folded a bat-looking thing and left in on the floor. It was obviously folded since part of it was folded over to hold it all together. Just to trump it, I pulled a single square off and folded a crane and placed it next to the bat-thing. The next time I was there, they had both disappeared. Today however, I ran into a friend in the hall, and she laughed and said Was it you folding toilet paper? LOL!! Dee

Re: [Origami] Origami Digest, Vol 83, Issue 18
I had asked: Does it make a difference in what side do I place the head and tail of that arrow regarding the folding line? Anna answered, The arrow should start and end on the part that actually has to be folded over. I now ask all of you, does everyone else agree with Anna? It makes sense to me, but I had asked a friend to revise some diagrams, it had the arrows just like Anna is describing them, but my friend suggested to turn the arrows around. That's why I decided to ask the majority here just to be sure about what's the right way. Who seconds Anna's motion? ; ) I doubt I will second but I definitely agree - that is the first thing I do is see where the ends are to know what part to fold over and back.
[Origami] 3D Letters and US News and World Report
Before now I made posts in 2011 and 2012 about my search for an origami illustration that changed my life. I had been searching for that illustration since around the year 2000 and I am happy to tell you all that after more than 12 years of searching I finally found it! How fantastic you were able to find it! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for the best modular units to use for making three-dimensional letters - like a giant letter T, etc. made out of many units put together. Have you thought of Sonobe modules? There is one book I have that uses Sonobe modules to make pieces to that classic puzzle that when you put all the pieces together properly it makes a cube. (Don't remember which book off the top of my head, sorry). And there are some wonderful animals made of Sonobe modules in one of Kasahara's books Dee
Re: [Origami] Origami Digest, Vol 82, Issue 23
Where I live stores sell ordinary paper of something close to B1 size, that would be 707 X 100 cm, which is something like 27 4/5 X 39 2/5 in. I want to know if this paper size exists in the countries where each of you live, ok? Can you easily find ordinary paper with those dimensions where you live? And do they sell even bigger papers in those same stores? I work for a company where we have big plotters. The plotters have 20lb bond paper that comes in rolls up to 36 inches wide (about 91 cm) by 150 feet (a little over 45 meters). The supply people purchase them from Staples, but I would imagine they would be available at other office stores. The rolls can be fairly pricey ($35 a roll or more), though. I know a store that, in the past, carried uncut sheets of bond paper - usually in colors. Those sheets were probably for feet by five or six feet. I never bought any, so I can't be sure. They have downsized their store recently and no longer carry it. There have been MANY times I have been tempted to use an old plot to fold something, but since most of what gets plotted is proprietary, I am sure it would be highly frowned upon. Dee
[Origami] Folding ArtClay
Gerardo asked: Do you think it's possible to use gold or silver plating in an origami model? Can it be done on a paper folded model or would it have to be folded in some other material? Has anyone tried to do this? I tried that with Elephant Hide, and simple bronze coating in a process called Electroforming. Its doable, expensive and the main problem is that you put the model into a liquid - the paper absorb it and start to deform because of that. I found no solution to this problem yet. Ilan I think it would be better to investigate folding a sheet of Art Clay Silver, which can then be fired in a torch or small kiln. Gillian I have tried folding the art clay. They have a product called paper, but it is really rather thick and I was told that it can't be made thinner - I wasn't able to try rolling it thinner on my own though. Since it is thick - and only about a 3 inch square, your models have to be pretty simple and not a lot of folds. While you can use a torch to fire the silver CLAY pieces - their paper has to be done in a kiln. Granted, my knowledge comes from a trade show I went to some 10 years ago when it was first being marketed, so they may have made some improvements. And I actually haven't purchased it since I would have to also purchase a kiln to do anything with it. I do periodically go to their website and I haven't ever seen anything to tell me that they have changed the product much. Dee
