HI, I might be doing a talk about origami in a couple of months. That made me think about the topic. I really wanna do it about a method I sometimes use when I create new models: I mix specific folding ideas from different models ending up with a new one. Know what I mean? Most of the times they are ideas from previous models of my own creation but sometimes I also include ideas from models by others. For example, in order to create a Shopping bag, I combined folding ideas from my Coffee table, Locking paper bag, Coat hanger, and Jeremy Shafer's Heavy duty box with handles.
My question is, does this technique already have a term? If not, I would love to propose the "Frankenstein method". It would be an analogy: stitching parts together in order to create a totally new creature. But if there is a term I would prefer to use that one; creating a second one would be too confusing -and pretentious of me-. So let me know if you've read or heard a term regarding this method, ok? Cheers! -- Gerardo gerardo(a)neorigami.com
