Is it just me or are the colors in the first choice more saturated and slightly richer? Nope, they should be the same. It's possible that CreateSpace made a slight adjustment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Lokah Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu -- -----Original Message----- From: origami-request <[email protected]> To: origami <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, May 18, 2013 9:40 am Subject: Origami Digest, Vol 85, Issue 16 Send Origami mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.digitalorigami.com/mailman/listinfo/origami or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Origami digest..."

I'm looking for the best models that can be mailed flat. Obviously there are many traditional folds, but what else might you suggest?

So many great flat models... These are the first that spring to mind... Trumpeting elephant Hajime's dahlia Fuse's reticulating lizard (I think that's what it's called) Kasahara gorilla (from 1/2 square divided along diagonal) Paul Jackson has two monkeys (from latest animal book) Lang's dog (named for a German city tho I'm forgetting now which city it is. Sorry) deg's howling coyote/wolf w bandana at neck Snowflake (make this from translucent paper) I'm forgetting whose model right now but everyone was making it last couple years... It starts from a hexagon Wreaths w crane heads (Petty book) Simple fish (fun from funky patterned paper) Sok's flat fish (I think that's what he called it... All kinds of butterflies are great to send w letters & of course letter folds too... There's lots more for sure, I'm not remembering them right now :( Good luck V .

Errors and misconceptions about the history of paperfolding (see his postscript) http://www.britishorigami.info/academic/lister/errors.php As a historian of science, I've spent a lot of time looking at facsimiles of Leonardo's notebooks. I wouldn't put anything ingenious past Leonardo, but I haven't yet seen anything I'd call origami. Letterfolds could be an exception. I haven't seen any Leonardo letters close-up, but just today I saw 2 examples of letterfolds in an Renaissance italian oil painting ca 1579, i.e. 70 years after Leonardo: "Domenico Giuliani and his Servant." Circle of Bartolomeo Passarotti, 1579. Manchester City Galleries, Manchester. http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/domenico-giuliani-and-his-servant-205778 Currently on display at the Princeton University Art Museum. >From the shading on the open letter, I think that the lefthand margin was first valley-folded to mark the left side of the space for the letter and then the top was valley- folded to demarcate a space for the salutation. The partially folded letter next to it seems to be folded in thirds and then thirds again--very typical for Renaissance letters. The servant holds a letter that has been completely folded (and further wrapped?) and, I think, tied with a thin thread. Wishing David could weigh in on this!

According to old letterfolds, here http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/19.73.120 there is Durer painting of Erasmus of Rotterdam, (1526). A letter folded can be seen there. But in LEONARDO da Vinci, Portrait of a Musician, 1490, http://arthistory.about.com/od/leonardo/ig/leonardo_paintings/ldvpg_10.htm the musician has a paper in his hands with some interesting folds Good luck, Jose Tomas Buitrago Attached Message From: Diana Lee <[email protected]> To: The Origami Mailing List <[email protected]> Subject: [Origami] looking for Robin Glynn and Mark Leonard Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 21:36:24 -0700 (PDT) Hi, does anyone have the contact information for Robin Glynn and/or Mark Leonard?

When induced to contract, the cells cause the plates to fold into cubes, dodecahedra, and spirals. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0051085 video is quite good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xhGYwDwUIY At first I thought this wasn't really origami but then again, it is not that different than folding Fujimoto's cube from the crease pattern. Yeah - I guess that's close enough to origami.
