I asked about the name of a method for creating where I take general ideas from other models and add them up in order to create a new model.
Dennis, Dianne, and J.C. Nolan replied. J.C. mentioned the piecemeal approach, as he explained it in his book "Creating Origami". Thank you three so much for your help. I didn't mean designing independent parts of a model and then folding them together in a paper, like designing a lion head, toes, and tail, and after that grafting the paper in order to fold each part together. That's what the piecemeal approach is about, right? I meant taking general ideas from other models, but not specific parts. For example, in my Shopping bag, I organize the layers of paper just in the front and back of the bag so it can be flattened easily. I took that idea from my Locking paper bag, which I had designed before. Know what I mean? So, does this approach have a name? Should we call it the Frankenstein method? Cheers!
