Randlett names step 7 the Blintzed Bird Base in both The Art of Origami
(1961, see page 145) and The Best of Origami (1963, see page 126). Step 10
is the basis of George Rhoads?s Bug, presented in Best Of Origami (it
appears as step 3 on page 130). That?s the earliest appearance I?ve seen of
step 10 explicitly. Rhoads explored the Blintzed Bird Base extensively, so
you see several different treatments of it in his 1950s/1960s work.

It should be noted that Yoshizawa explored multiply blintzed Frog Bases
back in the 1950s (his 1959 Cicada is made from what amounts to two
Blintzed Frog Bases), so there?s a good chance that he created the BBB and
?step 10? as part of that exploration. Since he didn?t give instructions
for his more complex creations, though, that must remain supposition.

Thanks, Robert, for your research.  This was exactly the kind of detail I
was looking for.  When I attended your Cicada class at OrigaMIT I did
notice the double Blintzed Frog Base in the crease pattern.  Thanks again.

[MM] Thanks for your reply, Anna.  Yes, step 7 says Blintzed Bird Base but I 
asked anyway because I have seen different definitions on the internet. …  
unambiguous numbers :) It would still be interesting to know who was the first 
one to come up with what is in Step 10.  The steps leading to it are very 
natural and there may be multiple people who arrived at it independently.  Any 
clues/pointers  would be appreciated!  These are the times when I miss David 
Lister...

Thanks for your reply, Anna.  Yes, step 7 says Blintzed Bird Base but I
asked anyway because I have seen different definitions on the internet. And
yes, the numbering is funky but fortunately my questions deal with
unambiguous numbers :)

It would still be interesting to know who was the first one to come up with
what is in Step 10.  The steps leading to it are very natural and there may
be multiple people who arrived at it independently.  Any clues/pointers
would be appreciated!  These are the times when I miss David Lister...

Step 7 shows a blintzed bird base and even says so. No idea whether the
base from step 10 has a name on its own. The numeration of the steps is
very peculiar though.

[Origami] Blintzed Bird Base

[Meenakshi Mukerji]

I have some questions about the Blintzed Bird Base.  Please refer to the
diagrams:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/71cbe319eb2561931a24c175ae336d27/tumblr_ndpoo3dsmZ1sl3qh0o5_1280.jpg

1) Is what's shown in step 8 a Blintzed Bird Base, or rather what's shown
in step 10?
2) I have seen the use of what's in step 10 in lot of designs, specially
insects.  Who can we attribute this base (step 10) to?

I've used this base (step 10) in a few of my designs and wanted to give the
right credits.

Thanks.
Meenakshi
