Dear all, my very pregnant self is happy to announce that the next instructional video is up. This time round I'm showing how to fold the fantastic model "Mother and Child" by Stephen Weiss.
Picture of a fold: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-weiss-mother_and_child Video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/tPegXeyEIwY Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-weiss-mother_and_child I think it's an especially fitting model for this months for two reasons: First, in all likelihood, I'll give birth to my second child this May. And second, in many parts of the world, Mother's Day is in May. So I hope you'll enjoy this video and fold. Thanks, of course, to Stephen Weiss, for a very enjoyable model and his permission to make a video on how to fold it available to you. For those diagram lovers out there, Anibal Voyer drew some and they are published in "Origami 2000: The Annual Collection" by OrigamiUSA. It's sometimes hard to get a hold of older publications, but OrigamiUSA now offers pdf versions of their publications. I think it's great they're offering these, as there are many gems hidden in their collections. You can buy a pdf version of the 2000 collection at https://origamiusa.org/catalog/products/2000-annual-collection-pdf - and if you are an OrigamiUSA member you even get a huge 50% discount (5 USD instead of 10USD). Plus, once you've bought the copy, you can immediately download it and start folding. There's a temptation for you that you shouldn't resist! And a final side note: in my last email I mentioned I'd be uploading some videos celebrating a new milestone of my origami project. One of the videos might be of interest to you. I did a "draw my life" video, narrating how origami entered my life and how my project has developed since.
