On 26feb15, Gerardo asked about naming folds that are used often enough to warrant it. I'm not answering his question, I'm just wanting to note that I recently came up with a term I've not heard before, for a maneuver I've not seen named before. I'm referring to the process of folding a part of a model onto itself repeatedly, in a circular fashion, to make a spiral. You can see this done in the Twist Fish model on page 62 of "Minigami" by Gay Merrill Gross. The same fold, but done "to excess" (wink) can be seen in one of Tomoko Fuse's spirals. I don't have the reference for this one, as I only have a photocopy of the pages that a friend sent me. It's all in Japanese, but I can see the model is diagrammed on pages 48-50 and the subject maneuver is on page 49. I call it the "conch fold". I would say, "next, you Conch the point as far as you can", or "Conch the long end 3 times", as is done for the Twist Fish.
----- BTW, a Google search says you can pronounce “conch” either “konk” or “konch”, but “konk” is preferred. ..... from Chila /// ------------------------------------------------------- Chilagami - I think, therefore I fold; I fold, therefore I am Folding for Fun in the Mojave Desert Southern California, USA [email protected] www.origamichila.blogspot.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
